Better Surf Plus

Better Surf Plus is a Potentially Unwanted Program that makes settings changes to your browser for the purpose of profiting from your traffic through advertisements. While Better Surf Plus isn't a threat, Better Surf Plus may cause issues for your browser's performance or load advertisements that have the potential to cause problems with your computer. As malware analysts always recommend for any PUP, blocking Better Surf Plus's frequently automatic installation, as well as deleting Better Surf Plus, should make use of strong anti-adware products or associated security programs.

Why You may Want to Subtract Better Surf Plus from Your Browser

Better Surf Plus installs itself as an add-on to your default browser, including BHO formats for Internet Explorer and extension formats for Chrome and Firefox. As adware, Better Surf Plus dynamically modifies Web pages on the client end by inserting extra advertising content. These advertisements typically are marked with an 'Ads by Better Surf Plus' flag, similar to previous adware that malware experts have seen proliferate throughout certain segments of the Chrome user base.

Better Surf Plus advertisements may make a pretense of being beneficial to its users, but are displayed automatically and provide no controls that would allow you to disable them. In most scenarios, malware experts also noted a distinct absence of Better Surf Plus as an entry in the afflicted browser's add-on manager, which may complicate its removal without any legitimate justification. Other symptoms of Better Surf Plus's installation often are minimal, but some PC users also experience browser hijacks that redirect their browsers to Better Surf Plus-related Web pages and updates.

Better Surfing... Minus Better Surf Plus

Better Surf Plus's advertisements may be a staging ground that might affect your PC's well-being. Equally importantly, malware experts have been unable to identify a reputable company linked to Better Surf Plus, which most likely is circulated via downloads with unrelated software. Some Better Surf Plus incidents also include additional installations of adware, such as OffersWizard.

Due to the overall difficulty of deleting Better Surf Plus in evidence, thus far, malware researchers advise the full use of trusted PC security products for dealing with any installation of this adware. Improper deletion of Better Surf Plus frequently allows its advertisements to continue to load, which may be a persistent safety hazard and responsible for Web-surfing performance degradation.

There also is some evidence of Better Surf Plus's distribution rising, as of late September 2014. If you're anxious to avoid common sources of adware, malware researchers can recommend no solution simpler than using live browser-protecting software and safe system settings. Naturally, PC users who fail to avoid torrents, pirated software sites and freeware sites with poor business histories are at an especial risk for installing Better Surf Plus, whether willingly or unwillingly.
