BetterMarkit is a browser extension that will most likely appeal to users who need to read a lot, do researches, or create projects based on original text. BetterMarkit is packed with a number of features, such as highlighting, magnifying the highlighted text, sharing it on social networks, lighting up selected text, and other. This functionality of the plug-in sounds rather useful, however, it is classified as adware which means that it would be better not to use it. BetterMarkit will display numerous ads that will expose you to potential security threats, and for this reason you should remove the plug-in from the browser right away.

How did I get infected with?

Although BetterMarkit is well promoted at bettermarkit.net with a detailed Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, the download button for the extension seems to be inactive. This is never a good sign because it suggests that the web page is only used as a disguise for an unreliable program. Still, you are seeing ads by BetterMarkit but you obviously did not download the plug-in. Then how it managed to get installed on your browser? The answer is simple – it was installed silently. It probably took place when you acquired some free program that was offered to you on an unknown file sharing website or by a flashy ad that appeared on your screen out of the blue. Stay away from such web pages and ads if you do not want plug-ins like BetterMarkit on your PC.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The reason why we do not recommend using the BetterMarkit plug-in is the tons of pop-up, in-text and banner ads that it will display. They will all advertise different products and services which are unreliable. This is due to the fact that BetterMarkit ads contain redirection links to third-party websites, so the advertised products and services belong to the individuals behind these websites. Unfortunately, no information about who these individuals are is disclosed by BetterMarkit, which means that they might as well be cyber criminals. This makes interacting with BetterMarkit ads a bad idea because you might end up infecting your system badly. Do not try closing each ad separately because this will not make them disappear. The only way to stop the flood of BetterMarkit ads is to remove the plug-in from the browser.
