What is BrowserArmor?
BrowserArmor is one of those programs that turn out to work in a completely unexpected manner. Just like Browser Secure and similar ad-supported programs from the same group, this adware promises to help you surf the web in a more secure manner. Unfortunately, this program has no intentions of protecting your virtual security. What it actually has been created for is advertising. The problem with this is that the advertisements presented by this program can be very misleading and very unreliable. For example, these ads could easily expose you to virtual security risks. Do you want this? Of course you do not, which is why removing BrowserArmor is what we recommend focusing on.

How does BrowserArmor work?
We have previously talked about DealCoaster, Price-Horse, and Price-Slayer. Along with hundreds of other identical programs, these ad-supported programs were created solely to create more possibilities for unreliable online advertisers. As mentioned previously, and as stated at browserarmor.com, BrowserArmor is supposed to provide browser protection services. Instead of doing anything useful, this program communicates with adware servers that select the ads to be injected in the websites you visit. This might be based on the information collected by tracking cookies. These cookies are silent, which means that most users do not know they exist, and, if they do, these cookies are usually ignored as harmless pieces of software. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Certain cookies can be powerful enough to steal personal data! Is this the case with BrowserArmor? This is unclear; however, you can be sure that these cookies will try to figure out what kind of services, products, or information you might be interested in. The browsing history could be analyzed, and the data collected could be sold, allowing the developers of BrowserArmor to make a profit.
The activity of BrowserArmor highly depends on the web browsers installed on your PC. Anti-Spyware-101.com research shows that this program only targets Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer browsers. Luckily, the newer versions of Google Chrome are not affected by this adware. This is a perfect example of why you should always use only updated software; otherwise, the vulnerabilities potentially existing in older, outdated versions could be used against you. All in all, if you do witness online advertisements that appear after installing adware, the best thing to do is ignore them for the time being. Instead of focusing on potentially false offers, you should focus on the removal of malware and the protection of your PC.
How to delete BrowserArmor
In some cases, malicious and unreliable programs are presented by themselves using misleading websites and information provided via them. However, most users are likely to find BrowserArmor in software bundles. If you have downloaded this adware packaged with other programs, the wisest thing you can do is scan your operating system to find if malware was installed onto your PC. If it has, you might want to alter the removal plan accordingly. If there are not other threats, you should be able to delete adware manually, but if other threats have corrupted your operating system, our best recommendation for you is to install security software offering automated malware removal services.
