Greener Web is a newly-developped adware by Super Web LLC. It can infect any of your web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. Once Greener Web is installed, it will display different kinds of advertisements on the websites you visit through sponsored links, coupons and discount codes, advertising banners, pop-ups and even in-text ads that are inserted directly into the web pages’ text.
Greener Web has an official web page, but it’s mostly just for legitimacy purposes, because this adware only gets installed when you download free or fake Java or Flash update programs that are usually offered on video streaming websites. Always download your applications from their official website to avoid getting infected by adware such as Greener Web.
