Browser Guard

What is Browser Guard?

Browser Guard (50 On Red) is an web browser advertisement extension that delivers ads to the user's web browser. Ads are in the form of traditional banners as well as
context-hyper links. Ads delivered are injected on any web page the software decides to include it on and not just those affiliated with the software
or its affiliates. The ads are not affiliated nor endorsed by the underlying websites on which they appear. The program periodically connects with
its remote servers to download new ad feeds and will report back the domains and URLs the user visits as well as the links and advertisements the
user clicks on while browsing the web. This adware is mostly bundled with 3rd party download managers that include a number of additional offers,
all potentially unwanted programs. Browser Guard also has a self protection mechanism built in which prevents other web extensions from turing it off or modifying its settings.
