Wscanner

Wscanner

Wscanner is definitely not the best choice when it comes to PC optimization. In fact, this optimizer seems to be very similar to AllPCOptimizer, RapidFixer, and DrSpeedyPC, which are all well-known to our malware experts. Since this application exhibited questionable behavior while it was tested by our researchers, it has been categorized as a PUP, i.e., a potentially unwanted program. To be frank, most likely the majority of computer users have PUPs on their system, and most of them may not even know about it. It is, of course, only possible if your PC is not protected by an up-to-date malware removal tool that could filter out even potentially harmful applications such as this one. In all fairness, we cannot claim that this program is a huge risk or a dangerous beast. But we are still concerned about this PUP and its usefulness. We believe that you should delete Wscanner if you do not want to litter your hard drive with a messy and questionable application. As a matter of fact, this PUP may be the least of your worries if it managed to crawl onto your computer along with malware infections. Read more »

Seen On Screen is a suspicious potentially unwanted program that is very similar to Muzik Fury.

DeepBlue Games

DeepBlue Games

DeepBlue Games is an extension for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. It says that it can enable users to play DeepBlue games for free, which is why so many users download and install it on their systems. It has been observed that people usually get this program from deepblugames.com, play.deepblugames.com, play.deepblugames.com/mb/, and Chrome Web Store. Of course, we cannot guarantee that it is impossible to find it available for download on a third-party web page too.
