Browser Protect is not as useful as it claims to be. In fact, it might even cause you problems associated with your system's safety. Research carried out by our specialists has shown that advertisements generated by Browser Protect might redirect you to websites that contain malware. If you want to protect your system, you should definitely ignore all those ads. If you fear that you might click on them accidentally one day, make sure that you remove Browser Protect from your system. If you erase it, you will also stop other activities that Browser Protect performs behind your back.

It does not matter whether Browser Protect has entered your system with the help of other programs or you have downloaded Browser Protect yourself because it acts the same in both cases. You should also keep in mind that other similar programs, e.g., Browse Guard and Browse Guardian, also exist. They might slither onto your computer as well if your PC is unprotected. If you do not want to encounter any undesirable programs ever again, you have to install a 100% trustworthy tool on your computer and also surf the web attentively. On top of that, you should never download programs from third-party websites because you might download malware instead of useful software.

The easiest way to remove Browser Protect is to scan your system with a trustworthy scanner, such as SpyHunter; however, if you decide to erase this software yourself, you should know that you will have to delete it via Control Panel and then remove the related extensions from your browsers.
