UpVoice and Ads Feed may have found their way into your browser without you knowing, so it's a good time to make sure. Having run through my dad's laptop recently, and having seen a plethora of extensions he wasn't aware were there, I need to tell you to not assume you know what's on your system. What you should doįirst, anyone running Chrome, Brave, Opera, the new version of Microsoft Edge and any other browser based on the Chromium framework should check to see if either extension is installed.

The extensions, UpVoice (installed by more than 5,000 users) and Ads Feed (installed by more than 10,000 users) may still be installed in your browsers. Specifically, UpVoice promised that you'd get store gift cards (for outlets such as Nike, AMC, Visa and Walmart) in exchange for having the extension installed while browsing Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Amazon and Twitter.Īds Feed told users they'd join 'a panel member of an elite community group that impacts the advertising decisions of multi-billion dollar corporations!'īut just because they were kicked out doesn't mean you're able to move on.
