Eco Search

Eco Search

Eco Search could make changes to your browser, such as replace its homepage if you let it settle in. Also, our researchers say that it might encourage users to search the Internet via a specific search tool that may redirect to a modified Bing search engine. This could result in seeing injected third-party content among your search results. Such behavior is partly why the extension was classified as a potentially unwanted program, a tool that might have undesirable qualities. If you want to get to know it better, you should have a look at the rest of our article. On the other hand, if you came here to learn how to eliminate Eco Search, we advise checking the instructions placed below the text or getting a reliable antimalware tool. Read more »

Searchsio

Searchsio

How you browse the web determines how well you find the information or content you want. Searchsio is an extension that promises to offer the “best way to search,” but our researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com warn that it is not as innocent as it might appear to be at first. For one, it does not actually offer a reliable search service, and since that is the only service that is should provide, it loses its credibility. Our researchers have classified the extension as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) for this very reason. The chances are that you already know why you want to delete Searchsio from your browser because you have found this removal guide, but if you are still searching for information about the PUP, you should continue reading the report. If you want to discuss anything in more detail, post your questions the comments area, and we will get back to you with answers as soon as possible. Read more »

Speed Test Guide

Speed Test Guide

Did you download Speed Test Guide? If you did, you might have not researched it enough, and you might not know that it is identified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program). A PUP is a program or an add-on that does not offer greatly beneficial services and that works in a suspicious way. The most suspicious thing about this particular extension is the search service it provides, and we are discussing this further in the report. If you are already ready to delete Speed Test Guide, check out the guide below, but if you are not yet sure if you want or even should remove this PUP from your Google Chrome browser, you might want to continue reading the report. Before you commence, we advise scanning your system with a trusted malware scanner to make sure that there are no other threats to worry about. Also, as always, Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers are ready to answer your questions about the PUP and its elimination, and you can post them in the comments section below. Read more »

Rxx Ransomware

Rxx Ransomware

Rxx Ransomware opens a window called back_data@foxmail.com as soon as it enciphers all targeted files. Our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com say that the malicious application might be after photos, various documents, and other data that could be precious and irreplaceable. The mentioned window should show a message that says you can restore all files if you contact the malware’s creators. Unfortunately, it is doubtful that they will not want anything in exchange for providing you with special decryption tools. In most cases, hackers ask to pay a particular sum of Bitcoins. Putting up with such demands is dangerous because there is always a possibility that hackers could scam you. If you want to learn more about what may happen if you receive Rxx Ransomware and how to avoid it, we advise reading our full article. Read more »

My Video Converter

My Video Converter

If you want to convert video files, you need to find a reliable and legitimate tool or online service. You should not trust My Video Converter to help you out. While this free Google Chrome extension can definitely seem useful, Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have found it to be quite problematic. At this point, the recommendation is to remove it from the browser, and if you do not understand why that might be necessary, we welcome you to read our full report. You will learn why this add-on is identified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program), how it spreads, what it does in the background, and also how to get rid of it. If you are one of those users who have already decided to delete My Video Converter, you will be glad to find a comprehensive guide. If you are going to follow the instructions below without reading further, let us advise you to scan your system using a trusted malware scanner as well. The last thing you want is to allow any hidden threats to remain active. Read more »

Access

Access is an extension that is meant to provide you with “access” to more search results on Google Search. Do you find that this search engine does not offer enough search results? That is unlikely to be the case, and so it is highly unlikely that you would find the extension useful. This is one of the reasons why it is classified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program). If you have installed it by accident or carelessly, we are sure that you want to delete it from your Google Chrome browser immediately. At the time of research, this was the only web browser that the PUP was compatible with. On the other hand, if you installed the extension on purpose, hoping that it could assist you greatly, you might assume that it is harmless. That is not what researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com believe in. It was discovered that the search results injected by the PUP can present ads, and interacting with those could be risky. This might be the main reason to remove Access from Chrome. Read more »

Access Gov Docs Tab

Access Gov Docs Tab

Access Gov Docs Tab is a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Potentially unwanted programs are not immediate system security threats, but they still raise various issues. Therefore, it is important to run regular system scans so you could detect these unwanted applications and remove them as soon as possible. You can terminate Access Gov Docs Tab by restoring your browser’s settings to default, and the instructions for that can be found at the bottom of this description. To learn more about this annoying extension, please continue reading below. Read more »

Oniria

Oniria

Google Chrome users can download Oniria to enhance Google Search results. That is what this extension is meant to offer. However, the reality is that the extension modifies the results of a popular and widely used search engine to introduce people to sponsored content. Whether or not interacting with this content is dangerous – which is something we discuss in this report – the extension cannot be considered useful, and that is likely to be the biggest reason to remove it from Google Chrome. However, it is important to understand that the extension could introduce you to links and ads that cannot be trusted. This is a risk that you need to weigh carefully, and if you decide that the service offered is not worth taking risks over, it might be best to delete Oniria without delay. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have analyzed the extension, and the conclusion is that it works as a potentially unwanted program, also known as PUP. Read more »

Anwapfile.club

Anwapfile.club

Pop-ups introduced to you via Anwapfile.club cannot be ignored. Interacting with them is NOT something you should do, but you also cannot ignore the fact that you have been exposed to them. That means that you must have visited unreliable websites or that adware exists on your operating system. If that is the case – although it is unlikely to be – a trusted malware scanner will inform you about it immediately. It might detect adware, adware helpers, PUPs, and other kinds of threats, and they all deserve removal. In this report, however, we want to focus on deleting Anwapfile.club-related notifications. If they are enabled on your browser, a legitimate malware scanner might identify them as adware helpers. While you can get rid of them automatically, you also can take a few simple steps to disable them yourself. If you continue reading this report, you will learn all about the suspicious notifications and why you need to disable them to protect yourself. Read more »
