TheEasyWayPro

There are numerous Web browser extensions that claim to perform all sorts of useful tasks, but a significant number of them are not at all what they claim to be. TheEasyWayPro is an excellent example of this. This Web browser extension states that it will provide users with helpful directions and handy maps. The developers of this extension are likely targeting users who go hiking frequently or enjoy traveling often. However, the TheEasyWayPro extension is not offering anything unique to its users. Instead, this extension utilizes already existing free services such as Google Maps. This means that there’s no need to install the TheEasyWayPro to use the services that it offers as they are already free and available publicly.

Alters Users’ Default Search Engine

Users who choose to add the TheEasyWayPro to their Web browser may experience some frustrating effects. The TheEasyWayPro extension may tamper with their Web browser’s settings and replace your default search engine with one of their choice, namely Srchbar.com. This does not qualify as an unsafe activity, but it is nonetheless intrusive and may reduce your Web browsing quality.

Classified as a PUP

Despite not being classified as malware, anti-virus solutions have marked this Web browser extension as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). This is due to the fact that the TheEasyWayPro extension is not providing any unique value to its users despite claiming to do so. Because of the fact that the TheEasyWayPro is not offering any useful tools and alters the users’ Web browser settings without warning them or asking for their consent, users are advised to remove the extension.

The removal of the TheEasyWayPro extension can either be done manually or using a legitimate anti-malware tool. The latter is the safest and the most efficient way to approach this situation, as the security solution will make sure to remove all components of the TheEasyWayPro extension.
