shpr.co - Burrowsye2save - BrowseToSave

Hi,

 

Recently I noticed my firefox browser kept connecting to "shpr.co" with every page load.  This slowed loading time a lot.  Googling shows others had it too.  I found a "Burrowsye2save" firefox extension installed without my knowledge.  It showed up in my start menu and under programs & features of control panel.  I had to remove the extension and uninstall it to get rid of connecting to shpr.co.

 

Dwelling into its folder, was a settings.ini, which stated it as "BrowseToSave".  Googling brought me to this community topic

which says it is ad malware.

 

Though I did not see any manifestation of the malware showing unwanted ads, connecting to a mysterious shpr.co and installing without my knowledge are alarming enough. 

 

Shouldn't Symantec already picked up this scent and prevent browsetosave from entering our computers?

 

Thanks for reading my little mumbling...
