A step-by-step removal guide for affected devices. Follow the verified procedure below — most readers complete it in under 10 minutes.

'Browser Update Available' is a misleading notification, which is used to make people download a fake update. In reality, they may be tricked into installing PC Performer, which has already been announced on our site for its useless notifications that urge people to purchase its licensed version. Typically, 'Browser Update Available' shows up on the left corner of the screen when people browse on the Internet. At the time of writing, it uses a logo, which looks very similar to IE, so you should be especially careful if you use this browser when browsing on the Internet. If you see 'Browser Update Available', leave this site immediately because you may be tricked into installing a potentially unwanted program. If you were tricked into installing this 'update', scan your computer with updated anti-spyware immediately after that and stop unwanted changes on your system.

WHERE CAN I SEE 'Browser Update Available'?

'Browser Update Available' is capable to show up on any browser, but the biggest chance to see this warning when using Internet Explorer. Typically, this alert shows up on the left corner of the screen and claims:

Browser Update Available
Richer, more immersive user experiences
Experiment the web at its fullest
Beautiful HD video, faster graphics rendering and high performance

DOWNLOAD INSTALL

Please, ignore this alert because it is used for a different reason, not for installing the update of the browser. If you click the Download or Install button, you will download PC Performer on your computer, which tends to show misleading system scanners and offers installing licensed version for fixing invented system's errors.

HOW TO REMOVE 'BROWSER UPDATE AVAILABLE' ALERT?

If you see a notification saying 'Browser Update Available', you should simply leave the site that shows it to you. If you clicked the Download button, scan your PC with updated anti-spyware and remove malicious files from the system. In this case, we recommend using FortectIntego or SpyHunterCombo Cleaner. Finally, if you believe that you need to update your browser, go to its official website and download the update you really need.
