'Outdated Browser Detected' is a misleading pop-up ad, which is used to make people install adware or other potentially unwanted programs. In most of the cases, this pop-up ad shows up when using Mozilla Firefox web browser but it can also appear on other browsers as well. It typically claims that you use the old browser's version and offer to download the latest version on computer. However, those you will fall for clicking the 'Recommended Download' button won't download the update for their browser. They will download some kind of adware on their computers. This program can cause the appearance of Babylon Toolbar, Delta Search, Yontoo, DealPly and similar programs.
