Web Secure Alert is an advertising-supported software designed to protect user privacy and security by erasing Internet browsing tracks, preventing malicious software from changing the web browser's default home page and alerting of unauthorized browser security settings modifications. However, the application also downloads from the Internet and installs main components of the GAIN adware. Web Secure Alert must be manually installed. It includes a functional uninstaller. Web Secure Alert automatically runs on every Windows startup.
