The website jetbrowser.com has a browser called Jet Browser that contains Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP).

If you have already installed this browser, click here to use AdwCleaner to remove the Potentially Unwanted Programs that were installed. AdwCleaner is a very small program and doesn't require any installation.

You may also use Sophos free virus removal tool, click here to download.

I do not recommend downloading and installing the Jet Browser. Click here to learn more about Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP).

Yes, I found a lot of PuPs too. Extremely dangerous. But, if they will clean this program it will be one of the best browser...!

The piece of c**p software, jet browser, etc was force installed on my system when I selected "SmithMicroStuffitDeluxe2010_SoftangoDownloader.exe". I was able to reset my system before the install was completed and forced removed from my system.

The people that push this kind of garbage need to be, "dealt with".
