Is superfish.com Safe?

"Site owner holds a TRUSTe® Trusted Download Seal" TRUSTe, are you stupid and blinded?????? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When you buy an official brand products, the manufacturer put in play you a dirty trick to scam you with viruses, adware, spyware, trojans, software bloat, crapwares, shovelwares, badwares, etc. etc. and the forced sale. After the computers with Windows preinstalled, and with preinstalled useless softwares and scandals of tattoos prohibiting install Linux, now there are these crapwares and those trojans! Remember that, in a capitalist world, companies become multinational in swallowing or destroying smaller companies, for their avarie without heart, kidnap your products and even your life to make you a slave. Time of products that belonged to us once bought and paid of our own money is gone, we are docile pigeons made to spend at all costs and buy permanently!

I have nothing to add that other users haven't already said. Do not trust the "good site" rating this somehow gets here on WOT. This is an excellent example of why people should read the reviews, not just trust the rating. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the people who made this cr4p are giving fake reviews here and on extension/add-on rating sites. So be careful of what extentions/add-ons you enable on your browser. This one in particular seems to come with FVD products, so make sure not to install anything by them.

*updated at 2013, Oct 28 "Scroll to Top Button" add-on for Chrome has updated (v 6.2.8 , 2013 Oct 26) and added two options in configurations: >Product Search (powered by Superfish): on / OFF (default config: on) >Disable advertising: ON / off (default config: off). However, the developer has no any reply to users who complained (at Google Play, in "Comments" tab) about it. And default settings for ads options is not cool. As for my posting and ratings for this superfish.com, I KEEP these because there are reports of several other add-ons (for Chrome and Firefox browsers) with the same problem (SUPERFISH.COM "ad-scripts" embedded in these add-ons) and many of the users of these another add-ons even know the existence of superfish.com "ad-scripts" within them. My previous post (2013, Oct 26): This website has some kind of (obscure?) involvement / relationship with add-ons developers for web browsers - an add-on installed called "Scroll to Top Button" (I use the Chrome web browser) has a malicious script that does intrusive and annoying advertisements appearing on any webpages through "superfish.com" cookies and scripts. The developer of this add-on "Scroll to Top Button" didn't say anything about it until now (2013, Oct 26). See more complaints about this in Google Play for this add-on (go to "Comments", click the "Recent" button and select "All Languages" to see most recent comments): ***** ------------------------------------------------ *atualizado em 28 de outubro de 2013 O add-on "Scroll to Top Button" foi atualizado (v 6.2.8 - 26 de outubro de 2013) e agora possui mais duas opções de configuração: >Buscar por produto (via Superfish): ligado / DESLIGADO >Desabilitar propagandas: LIGADO / desligado. Porém, o desenvolvedor desse complemento ainda não respondeu às queixas dos usuários sobre a questão no site do Google Play (na página de comentários), além de as configurações padrão para exibição de ads não serem nada agradáveis (estão pré-configurados para exibir ads). E quanto às minhas postagem e avaliações sobre esse tal superfish.com, elas serão MANTIDAS de minha parte porque existem relatos de muitos usuários de vários outros add-ons (para Chrome e Firefox) com este mesmo problema de "ad-scripts" SUPERFISH.COM incorporados neles sendo que muitos sequer sabem de tal fato. Minha postagem anterior (26 de outubro de 2013): Este site tem algum tipo de envolvimento obscuro com desenvolvedores de add-ons para navegadores - em um add-on chamado "Scroll to Top Button" (eu uso o navegador Chrome), existe um script malicioso que faz abrir propagandas intrusivas e aborrecedoras seja qual for a página da web em que se estiver navegando e, dentro dessas páginas, existem os cookies e scripts desse tal "superfish.com". O desenvolvedor deste add-on (Scroll to Top Button) nada disse a respeito até o presente momento, 26 de outubro de 2013, o que é algo no mínimo antiético e rasteiro. Veja mais reclamações sobre o assunto na página dela do Google Play (vá em "Comentários", clique no botão "Recente" e escolha "Todos os Idiomas" para ver os comentários mais recentes): *****

Found a list of various browser plugins this bullshit is bundled with. Maybe someone sees a pattern here (using the same plugin). Surf Canyon, FastestFox, Conduit, Converter, Calculator, IETab Plus, Fox Lingo, FB-Timer, SmartSuggestor, Special Savings, Awesome ScreenShot, Similar Web And lastly, the shitty plugin that caused it for me: FVD Video Downloader. Those retards added the superfish bullshit in a recent update without user consent or any warning, and just now (after all the 1 star ratings rolling in in the chrome web store), they've added a little text blurb at the bottom of the plugin description. Pathetic. I've uninstalled the plugin completely. If the plugin devs pull off this sneaky scammy bullshit once, they'll do it again. Avoid. *****
