Are advertisements marked Swift Browse being opened non-stop on Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer? This means that your computer has been contaminated by a malicious program. This page will teach you how to remove Swift Browse advertisements step by step.
Swift Browse is a plug-in that works on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, and is responsible for the Swift Browse ads that appear non-stop on the pages you visit. Swift Browse ads actually appear all over the place as soon as this virus gets installed on your computer.
This parasite program originates from several different sources: you might have dug it up on its fake “official” website, or you might have installed it without wanting to through fake software updates (like Flash or Java) or other free programs that abound on Torrent or video streaming websites.
This parasite software is designed for the sole purpose of looking into your surfing habits on the Internet so that it can force you to view targeted advertising, which will in turn earn money for the designers of this plug-in. Unbeknownst to you, these adware programs use the information they register to expand data banks that will then be bought by third parties. Finally, each advertisement that Swift Browse has published will make money for its designers with every click or view.
It is always preferable to browse through the terms and conditions carefully before installing software on your computer’s operating system. Never click too quickly on “Next” during the installation process. If the installation program has an “Advanced” button or an option that allows for customized installation, click on it so that you don’t install all those software programs that don’t pique your interest.
