| Description:
|
SmartBrowser is a browser hijacker controlled by smart-browser.com. It opens pop-up porn advertising from extremelybabes.com and extremelyamateurs.com, and redirects attempted use of other porn sites to these sites instead.
SmartBrowser also sends spam messages from your computer to Yahoo! Chat using automatically generated account names. Currently these messages are promoting the same two porn sites.

Adware - Adware is generally software that displays advertisements. Some advertisers may covertly install adware on your system and generate a stream of unsolicited advertisements that can clutter your desktop and affect your productivity. The advertisements may also contain pornographic or other material that you might find inappropriate. The extra processing required to track you or to display advertisements can tax your computer and hurt your system performance. |
