BrowserMaintainace

BrowserMaintainace may trick you by making you believe that this application has anything to do with the maintenance of your browsers – whatever that may mean. What it can possibly maintain is the flow of useless and potentially unreliable third-party advertisements on your screen while you are surfing the web. Most people would consider these ads rather annoying; however, that is not why we suggest that you should remove BrowserMaintainace. Since this is an unreliable adware program, there is no warranty that the ads it displays are all legitimate and trustworthy.

But if you do not know the name of this adware, you could never find info about it since it has no website that promotes it. It seems that it only spreads via freeware bundles.

We have found that BrowserMaintainace is identical to another adware called BRApp. This adware has no graphical user interface (GUI), so you will not even see the application itself, only the result of its operation, i.e, the ads. It does not install browser extensions; instead, it uses a service through which it can showcase the advertisements. This adware can display ads at the bottom of your browser window as well as pop-up ads. The real problem is not that these ads may disrupt your online experience, but the fact that they may not always be reliable. If you click on an ad whose link leads to a questionable website, you might be exposed to schemers this way. Therefore, we suggest that you delete BrowserMaintainace as soon as possible.

Finally, let us share some good news. You can easily eliminate this threat if you find its uninstaller in the installed programs list in Control Panel and run it.
