What is SafeMonitor?
Safe Monitor bundles additional potentially unwanted toolbars on the user's PC during installation: "In some cases, we may display product offers during your installation process. Of course, you will have the ability to accept or pass on these offers. We try our very best to make sure any product offering follows best practices and actually provides something of value to you. For example, you may be given the option to install a search toolbar during installation. Safe Monitor is entirely free to use. In order to keep Safe Monitor free, we've partnered with high-quality ad providers and you may see additional ads when Safe Monitor is installed. We do not allow any really annoying ads, sexual content, or intrusive media; we've only partnered with high-quality ad providers to deliver the best user experience possible, while also trying to help with some of our costs to keep Safe Monitor free."
