Site Matcher Pro is an adware program that you’ll find as an add-on or plug-in, mostly on Firefox; it’s also likely to have infected Chrome and Internet Explorer, even if you haven’t seen it on these browsers.
Site Matcher Pro gets installed on browsers when you download and install free software from the Internet. Like a good number of potentially unwanted programs, Site Matcher Pro tries to take advantage of the fact that users don’t pay careful attention, and that’s how it gets installed. For example, the screenshot below shows a program that’s going to install Flash if you don’t read what’s there or confirm it too hastily. The installation program will also put Site Matcher Pro into place. First of all, it is NOT Flash’s official installer; second of all, you must always take the time to read what is being offered when you install software on your computer.
Site Matcher Pro is supposed to offer you websites similar to the ones you visit. You’ll realize that your computer is infected by this software right away- it’s happy to just display advertisements through sponsored links as soon as it has the chance, slowing down your computer and compromising your privacy (since it could gain access to everything you do online).
