PandaLabs has warned the Internet users of Browsezilla, a web browser that inserts malware on computers. The browser infects computers with the adware PicsPlace, according to PandaLabs.

Browsezilla appears like Mozilla browser, and uses a dinosaur as a logo. The malware installed by Browsezilla connects the web pages with adult content websites.

The browser also reduces the bandwidth as it contains hidden pornographic websites with it, according to PandaLabs.

Luis Corrons, Director of PandaLabs, said: “Today the prime objective of malware creators is to receive some kind of economic return through their action.A typical technique for distributing their creations is to offer some kind of free utility, in this case a Web browser, then exploit the trust of users and take some kind of malicious action from which they can profit”.
