About UpdateSoftware?
SW Booster, also known as SK Enhancer, is a software extension that injects various types of advertising in the user's web browser. Additionally, it functions as a protector module designed to prevent the web browser extensions performing ad-injections from being removed by the user or other software. If the adware that it is safeguarding is removed, the SW Booster program will re-enable the removed software. It is typically installed with bundles signed by developer Sergey Petrov, who is associated with WebPick Internet Holdings. This software is distributed via the WebPick InstalleRex platform. SW Booster is also known by the aliases ws-enabler, sk.enhancer, ws-enabler, optimizerpro, and sw-booster.
