What is PathMaxx?
PathMaxx is a web browser extension developed by SuperWeb LLC. Hence, it should be removed from your system, because SuperWeb is known for numerous fake extensions that pose as useful tools to the average user. More so, PathMaxx claims to enhance the users internet browsing experience by displaying website trust ratings, enabling comparison shopping and adding other useful functions. However, we stress the fact that PathMaxx serves only to financially benefit the company itself and has nothing unique to offer to the user. In essence, PathMaxx is an adware application; thus, it should be removed, because SuperWeb does not review the adverts before promoting them.

What does PathMaxx do?
Contrary to the claims made on the website Pathmaxx.net, the extension does not provide tools to enhance browsing experience nor does it offer the best services or prices based on browsing habits. It does, however, record your browsing habits, but not to benefit you. PathMaxx is known to record clicks, browsing history, browser settings, search terms, and so on. It monitors your behavior and allows third parties and the developers of PathMaxx to make changes to their advertisement campaigns. The results of this monitoring are customized ads and offers; however, they should not be taken at face value as the offers may prove to be illegitimate.
Where does it come from?
Advertising platforms are vulnerable, and more often than not, scammers use them to lure unwary users into buying a product or service which does not exist, simply stealing the users’ money. Needless to say, PathMaxx is one of those vulnerable extensions, and there are many like it, as SuperWeb has developed hundreds of browser extensions that have different names but are actually the same extension designed to promote often misleading ads. We encourage users to delete PathMaxx and other extensions similar to it. Users should be wary of the names like Solution Real, Ace Race, Esuack, ZoneTrek. In addition, all of these extensions share the same webpage design, and the address usually features the name of the extension in it. Nevertheless, PathMaxx cannot be downloaded from its promotional website.
Why should you remove PathMaxx?
PathMaxx and all of the above mentioned extensions are commonly bundled with free software as bundling has proven to be the most successful platform for distributing shady applications. However, because PathMaxx is not a browser hijacker, the user may choose not to install it since all of the freeware related to PathMaxx has the option to decline the installation of promoted applications. However, if you have already installed PathMaxx, we recommend removing it as the reliability of the promoted adverts is highly doubtful and they can, potentially, expose your system to even more dangerous threats.
