Vil APP

Posted: July 27, 2020

The Vil APP is an intrusive extension for popular Web browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Often, the Vil APP may be promoted as a helpful tool that enhances your Web browser's functionality, but its true purpose is to increase the amount of traffic that an unknown search engine receives – it does this by ensuring that your Web browser will redirect you to the search page in question whenever you try to search the Web through your address bar. In addition to promoting S3redirect.com, the Vil APP also redirects users to trustworthy search services like Bing and Yahoo, or non-trustworthy ones like Smashapps.net, Searchpowerapp.com, and S3arch.page regularly.

The Vil APP is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP,) and it is not considered an unsafe application. However, the lack of harmful features certainly does not mean that keeping the Vil APP on your computer is a good idea – this troublemaking application should be removed immediately by using a suitable PC security tool. Once Vil APP is gone for good, your Web browser's settings will revert to their previous values automatically.
