Browser-test.info

Browser-test.info is a Web page affiliated with a questionable Firefox extension whose installation may lead to a broad range of undesired changes to the browser’s configuration. Malware researchers have determined that this extension is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and having it on your computer might permit it to download additional applications and code that may be used for a broad range of purposes like:

• Adware.
• Browser hijacking.
• Running crypto-currency miners.

Often, the add-on linked to Browser-test.info may be propagated with the assistance of fake Firefox update prompts that are designed to look as if they are legitimate and urgent. The authors of this Potentially Unwanted Program also have taken some measures to make it more difficult for the victim to recognize the intrusive application – it shows up with the basic name ‘1.1’ in the Firefox add-on manager.

The removal of the extension promoted by Browser-test.info is a task that should be accomplished with the help of an up-to-date PC security scanner. This is the only way to ensure that every last file of the Potentially Unwanted Program will be eliminated and there will not be any consequences for the user. To keep your PC protected in the future, you should avoid installing add-ons that are not credible or updates that are promoted by websites different from the product publisher’s official page. Last but not least, it is better to browse the Web while you are protected by a trustworthy cybersecurity tool.
