The cyber space is now flooded with ad-supported browser extensions, designed to fill the available web clients with commercial materials. The developers of Securor Browser also try to benefit from advertising activity, but they have gone one step further. Unlike the simple add-ons, Securor Browser comes as a separate and functioning browser. It has been created on the famous Chromium platform, which allows people with limited knowledge of the programming languages to create their custom web clients. This engine contains the source codes of Google Chrome, and, therefore, the interface of Securor Browser resembles the design of Google Chrome. Securor Browser doesn't offer any feature that is not available on the popular browsers, and often comes stealthily, so the experts define it as Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). You may be asked to load this "brand new" Internet client when you install freeware. When you launch this application, you may notice many more ads than usual. Securor Browser inserts pop-ups, banners, interstitial ads and animations to most of the attended webpages. The commercial materials lead to sponsored sites that may try to turn you into their client. You should take in mind that nothing verifies the legitimacy of the affiliate platforms. It is possible some of them to be designed to harm the visitors, so you should not click on the commercial materials. Some of your system resources will be used for the loading of the ads, so the speed of Securor Browser may be way slower than the speed of the other browsers. If you are not satisfied with the functionality of this PUP, you can delete it easily with an advanced malware removal application.
