About Update?

The Update software is designed to protect the SearchBowesing web browser toolbar from adware applications. SearchBowesing operates as a toolbar and web extension within the web browser, with the primary goal of controlling the user's browser to modify the search provider and redirect web searches to the search engine partner with whom the publisher has a revenue relationship. The toolbar is typically installed through bundled offers within third-party distributions and is known to perform various behaviors to increase user clicks on sponsored advertising through search. These behaviors include changing the browser's default home page, search provider, and built-in search box, as well as modifying the 'new tab' functionality to launch the modified search portal page. Additionally, it adds alternative error pages, DNS error and 'page not found' functionality, and incorporates additional features to protect the search and home page settings. The toolbar may also inject advertising in the form of context ads, links, and pop-ups. The Update software aims to protect the toolbar from these behaviors and attempts to maintain the integrity of the user's browsing experience.
