Olive Browser is a free web browser that may be compatible with all modern versions of the Windows operating system. The Olive Browser software isn't threatening, and its name has never been associated with harmful applications or web destinations. However, the fact that one application is harmless doesn't mean that it should be trusted completely. The Oliver Browser is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program, and although its immediate removal isn't mandatory, it is strongly recommended to think twice before choosing Olive Browser as your preferred application for web browsing. The Olive Browser software is free, but it may use unfair methods of propagation whose purpose is to spread the software to as many people as possible. Although this may not seem unethical, many users may fall for the cheap tricks used by these distribution techniques, and they may accept to install Olive Browser unknowingly.
Once Olive Browser is installed it may be automatically set as the default application used to open URLs and web-based documents. Because of Olive Browser's relatively low popularity, its features and functionality can't be compared with popular web browsers like Chrome and Firefox. Furthermore, the Olive Browser may inject unwanted advertisements in the user's web browsing sessions sometimes, as well as attempt to redirect users to particular web pages. The web page redirects aren't threatening, but they may try to force users to use alternative search engines and homepages. If you knowingly accepted to install Olive Browser, and you are satisfied with the software's functionality, then it's not necessary to take any actions. However, if you spotted the Olive Browser application on your computer and you don't remember agreeing to install it, then removing it should be your top priority. Olive Browser's removal is best performed with the help of a reliable anti-malware solution since this guarantees that all of the potentially unwanted program's files and components will be removed from your computer.
