BringStar is a potentially unwanted program that should not be allowed to stay on your computer. It is not a genuine computer infection, but computer experts label it as adware, which means that BringStar might lead to serious malware infection, if you do not practice safe Internet browsing. Luckily, it is easy to remove the application via Control Panel. However, you should take into consideration the fact that BringStar might have arrived bundled with freeware. Therefore, apart from manual removal, you should also run a full system scan with SpyHunter free scanner or a similar computer security application in order to determine whether your system is absolutely safe.

Vonteera is an adware program which you may be exposed to by bundled installers. If you pay no attention to the information that you are provided with when installing some free program, an additional program may also be installed. Vonteera is also regarded as a browser hijacker because the application changes the settings of the browsers. The vicious adware program changes the home page and the search provider of the browsers; hence, instead of Google or any other startup website you are forced to use arabyonline.com, which is a website for Arabic-speaking computer users. We recommend that you remove this adware from the system, and the sooner you do so, the sooner you can browse the Internet as usual. Read more »
