CrossBrowse: another Chromium project

We found another Chromium based browser that installs itself as the default browser and delivers advertisements. The install and some of the connections the CrossBrowse browser tries to make are blocked by Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium. This family of browser hijackers will typically come from a bundle installer. As always: Save yourself the hassle and get protected. The installers are detected as PUP.Optional.CrossRider.com. The first site it opens is plusnetwork[dot]com, which is notorious for the active hijacks to that domain.”]
