Can't you block browsetosave from setting new cookies or do you have to delete them every time?
It's invasive! I already have images blocked on my fb but b2s always finds a way to squeeze into my pc.

Thank you so much! Since three days I am cleaning my computer and browsers from that Browse to Save adware. All was cleaned, except for Firefox (where I had reset/removed many malicious configurations already). Your FF suggestion did the trick!

Quoting Mick Adams:
Good day to you
I use Firefox and Browse to Save does not show in "Extensions" so can't be removed.
I also went to "Control Panel" and "Change or Uninstall" and the bloody thing doesn't show there either.
Kindest regards
Mick Adams

Hi Mick...trie to find it in the cookies of your Firefox. There I found mine.

I had Browse2safe on my Laptop. I didnt find it with tehe addons or in my software. I use Firefox and finally find out that it was hidden in a cookie on Firefox.
So go to tools-->options-->privacy-->remove individual cookies.
Look for the browse2safe cookie and delete it. Now you are clean again untill you download it again. But you know now how to delete it.

The people who created this deserves death penalty. I had big problems removing this since it's name was not browsetosave but "adobe something.." Had to remove all addons I wasn't familiar with and after that I finally got rid of this.
