TheAnswerFinder is an adware-laced program that is advertised as a tool that should be used to polish your Web browsing. TheAnswerFinder may display pop-up advertisements when Web users are online shopping. TheAnswerFinder may be found on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. PC security applications may not detect TheAnswerFinder as threatening because TheAnswerFinder is a Potentially Unwanted Program. As many other software products, TheAnswerFinder may enter your computer packed with no-cost products, such as codecs, free video file converters and similar applications. When computer users choose to download a free application, it may have browser extensions, ad-ons and browser toolbars included in its installation process. These programs are usually classified as optional, but if computer users do not uncheck the check box for adding them, they may end up having unpleasant system modifications. Uninstalling TheAnswerFinder will enable you to restore your preferred Internet settings to load your desired homepage by default.
