About Safe Web?

Safe Web (Injekt) is an Internet adware toolbar/extension designed to deliver advertisements to the browser while visiting web pages unaffiliated with the ads or the extension. The ads may overlay existing ones or introduce new content to the site. These advertisements may prompt users to download potentially unwanted software or make purchases from affiliate partners. Clicking on offered coupons can lead to redirects that place affiliate cookies on the user's device and direct them to the advertiser's page. Additionally, the adware may establish connections with a remote server to track users' browsing habits, including visited domains, viewed pages, and interactions with ads. During installation, the software may bundle additional adware/PUPs and present product offers. Users have the option to accept or decline these offers. The software aims to ensure that any product offerings follow best practices and provide genuine value to the user.
