PSafe is another company that bundles their products (I've seen the PSafe Antivirus) in other program's setups by PUP tactics. Maybe that's why Emsisoft blocked it.
Well most things try to bundle everything.

No, you don't see Avast or AVG, etc, antivirus bundled inside an ImgBurn installer, or anything like that. At least I've never seen that. Making people install an antivirus just as if it were nothing on the system is potentially dangerous, especially because people may already have one installed, so that's two already, and then maybe you already got Baidu without asking for it, then you get PSafe too, and what if that is the third AV in your system? You see my point?

Antiviruses are supposed to rid the user of unwanted and malicious programs, not to be a nuisance themselves. But that's just my opinion.

Jaspion, thank you for the information on Psafe Browser. I am going to stay away from it period!
Both Emsisoft Anti-malware & Malwarebtyes Anti-malware block the links. Also,Cats-4_Owners-2,
how is Cyberfox and Palemoon going on your PC?

I still have the Browsers, below:
> Maxthon Browser
> Yandex Browser
> Internet Explorer Version 11


They are working well but, I am always looking to better my PC, without question.:)

I'm from Brazil, I know well that PSafe, and a somewhat dubious company has been growing lately, do not give me confidence, and as a company that makes a disclosure of their products in a very aggressive way, it scares the products of the impression of being associated with Adware. We have the best browsers on the market ..
