Is this a threat?

Chromium Browser is an open source Google web browser, which Google Chrome is based on. These browsers can be obtained and customized by anyone and that means that someone could create one to show you advertisements or redirect you.

Chromium Browser

While the design for the logo of Chromium is similar to the one of Google Chrome, the colors are different, which means you will be able to quickly notice that you are not using what you think you are. If you do not recall downloading the browser yourself, it’s possible that it installed via free software bundles. This is a very common spread method when it comes to adware, browser hijacker and other kind of unwanted programs. It’s not a serious infection but because it will expose you to advertisements, it may indirectly lead you to something malicious. We suggest you delete Chromium Browser.

Why remove Chromium Browser?

First of all, it’s important to understand how you managed to obtain the infection in the first place. If you did not install it yourself, it was attached to freeware as an additional offer and you did not notice. Since they are hidden, it’s not surprising that you did not see. To be able to view all added offers, access Advanced or Custom settings during freeware installation, you will also be able to deselect everything. Make sure you uncheck all added offers because they do not belong on your computer. If you did not install it yourself, you need to uninstall Chromium Browser.

You can customize your own Chromium Browser, and that’s why if you installed it yourself, it’s perfectly safe to use it. However, if it appeared out of the blue, it’s probably made to display advertisements and redirect you to sponsored sites. The ads will appear on all sites you go, even when on completely legitimate web pages. And redirects might happen at random times, which is incredibly annoying. This will make browsing very difficult. You also need to be careful of those ads and redirects because they might not always be safe. You could end up clicking on something that could lead to something malicious, like a malware-ridden website. This could lead to a serious malware infection if you are not careful. This is why you ought to not engage with anything you are shown. And delete Chromium Browser.
