Protectium goes with the flow of every malicious browser out there… No surprises there, as it is itself a malicious browser. In this case the people behind Protectium being developed is Pinwid Ltd. Protectium describes itself as a browser offering a quick, safe and simple browsing experience.
As many unwanted browsers, Protectium is based on Chromium, an open source browser. They take advantage of the already functional browser and focus on creating and adding the malicious code they wish.
By reading through Protectium’s general conditions of use (by the way they are implicitly accepted by any user installing this software whether that was their intention or not) we discover that speed, simplicity and safety were not exactly in their list of priorities when creating Protectium.
The only idea behind Protectium is to recover and save any useful information about you, specially those whose value they can increase by selling them to others. Protectium developers have access to your browsing history, IP address and every personal info passing through their browser.
Protectium also takes the right to show you any amount and kind of publicity they want, specially among error pages but also in every visited website, as it should be for any respectable adware…
