Browserupdate4uanow.info is a malicious website that has been confirmed to spread various types of harmful software.

However, as is so often true of websites that pretend to be alternate sources for otherwise legitimate software, browserupdate4uanow.info doesn't offer a legitimate or clean Internet Explorer installation, but instead uses this product's brand as a way to distribute malware such as keyloggers, viruses, worms and Trojan horses. You should avoid even brushing contact with browserupdate4uanow.info to keep your PC safe from harm, and if you've downloaded browserupdate4uanow.info's IE files already, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you scan your PC fully for possible infections.
