Hello there and welcome to the FreeFixer blog. Just a quick post on the BrowsersApp_Pro_v1.1 adware. This appears to be a variant of CrossRider that I’ve previously written about. If the BrowsersApp_Pro_v1.1 adware is installed on your computer, you will find ads labeled Ad by BrowsersApp_Pro_v1.1 while browsing the web, new add-ons added in your web browsers and new files, digitally signed by Numlock Apps, on the hard-drive. I’ll show how to remove BrowsersApp_Pro_v1.1 in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.

BrowsersApp_Pro_v1.1 is bundled with other software. Bundled means that it is included in another software’s installer.

Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as BrowsersApp_Pro_v1.1 by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer.

When I play around with some new bundled software I always upload it to VirusTotal to check if the anti-malware scanners there find anything suspicious. 6 of the 54 scanners detected the file. The BrowsersApp_Pro_v1.1 files are detected as PUP/Win32.CrossRider by AhnLab-V3, PUP.Optional.BrowserApp.A by Malwarebytes and Crossrider (fs) by VIPRE.

Since you probably want to remove BrowsersApp_Pro_v1.1, these are the files you should check for removal if you want to remove it with FreeFixer. A restart of your computer might be required to complete the removal.

Hope this helped you remove the BrowsersApp_Pro_v1.1 adware.

Update 2014-11-05: The BrowsersApp_Pro_v1.1 adware is still distributed through bundling. The files are now signed by Railroad Party Apps as you can see in the screenshot below. The Railroad Party Apps company appears to be located in Nicosia, Cyprus.
