Mega Browse is an adware program that displays pop-up, banner and sponsored link advertisements on Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome. Unfortunately, certain free downloads found online don’t emphasize well enough that other software will also be installed during the installation process and you often find out that Mega Browse had been installed without your knowledge. Mega Browse is presented as a program that will offer you discounts on online selling sites that you visit such as Amazon, for example. Even if it seems like it could be a useful service, this adware is very intrusive and displays ads whether you want them or not.
The Mega Browse adware program is designed only to earn money for its designers. It generates web traffic on their pages, collects sales leads for other dubious websites, and displays sponsored links on your browser.
