Hey, I just found out my default search engine is assignet to search.adstopper.com. So, I want to ask you guys whether I can use this app or not. I saw that it also has an app you can download to deal with the internet ads. It’s like a browser in-built ad blocker. I suppose that would be usefull, when you think about all the annoying ads on the internet. The only thing that is giving me some doubts is the way this website suddenly appeared in my browser… Should I be concerned? May it be a virus?
Thanks for the advice
