Protected-Browsing
Summary
Indeed, Protected-Browsing has been classified by cybersecurity experts as a browser hijacker and a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). When activated, Protected-Browsing will substitute the current homepage, new tab page, and default search engine of the browser with a sponsored address. Fake engines are commonly associated with browser hijackers because they are incapable of attracting any legitimate users. The source could a legitimate one, such as Bing in this case, or a dubious engine delivering low-quality results filled with advertisements. These annoying applications could spy on the users browsing activities, harvest numerous device details, or even extract sensitive data that has been saved as autofill information.
