Unfriend Monitor

By GoldSparrow in Adware

The Unfriend Monitor is a free Web browser extension that provides its users with instant updates in case any of their Facebook friends unfriends them. The extension does indeed work, but you should keep in mind that it is in no way affiliated with Facebook. The Unfriend Monitor works by simply creating a copy of the user's list of friends and then comparing it to see if any of the names are missing. The Unfriend Monitor can then tell users if someone has removed them or if one of their friends has deactivated their account. All this may sound a great little tool to have at your disposal, but the installation of the Unfriend Monitor also may bring unwanted changes to your Web browser's behavior. This extension is ad-supported, which means that its publishers may display paid advertisements to monetize their product. The paid ads that Unfriend Monitor injects may often impair a Web browser's performance or prevent users from accessing particular parts of the Web pages they are browsing.

These minor inconveniences aren't something you want to deal with, and you should be aware that the installation of Unfriend Monitor is capable of causing these issues. The Unfriend Monitor's official website is one of the places you can download this extension. However, many users report that they found the Unfriend Monitor on their computers even though they have never heard of this software before. The unexpected installation of Unfriend Monitor may occur when users download a low-quality software bundle that offers to install the Unfriend Monitor extension as well as other 3rd-party programs. By installing the Unfriend Monitor, users agree to have ads injected in their Web browser, and the extension also may ask for their permission to change their homepage and search engine to a 3rd-party page associated with the Unfriend Monitor. This extension is identified as adware and its negatives outweigh the positives greatly, so the best you can do is to remove it from your computer with the help of a reputable anti-malware solution.
