Match Pal

Match Pal

You should delete Match Pal from your computer if it enters your system without your permission. It is very important to do that because this program is not useful at all and it will just show various advertisements on your screen. As can be seen, the program will not help you with your searching needs as it promises because its main aim is to get money from pay-per-click websites. There is no doubt that Match Pal will show ads on Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers. The newer versions of Google Chrome block it; however, if you still use an older version, there is a huge possibility that you will see ads generated by Match Pal on your screen as well. The only way to stop them from appearing is to delete Match Pal from the system, so we think that you should not wait any longer. Read more »

Webzoom

Webzoom

Webzoom is a browser extension we recommend to remove as it functions in the same fashion as other adware applications like ZoomifyApp and ZoomPic, passing as online image zoom tools. If for some reason you still found it beneficial enough to install it on your machine, have in mind that Webzoom will work to provide you with as much commercial content during your browsing session as possible, making your Internet browsing experience more erratic and disorganized in the process. However, this is not the only reason users choose to delete Webzoom: The application might also pave the way for Internet-based threats to your PC. Read more »

Search Vortex

Search Vortex is another browsing experience enhancing browser tool you should remove as it comes from SuperWeb LLC, the same developer responsible for many random Internet browser extensions under different names sharing the same functionality (Box Rock, Brown Bark, SearchAdence, and others). Like all the mentioned similar applications, Search Vortex has the same drawback: it might put your computer at risk through promoted third-party content, irritate you by spamming and redirecting you to websites you do not want to see, and also slow down your machine.
