UpAurora Browser

UpAurora Browser is promoted as a fast and light tool for surfing the Internet. Despite its pleasant appearance, the application cannot be trusted. Those who installed the browser should know that it falls under the category of potentially unwanted programs (PUP). Apparently, the application has a few undesirable qualities. For instance, it can show you modified search results that could have additional third-party offers. Also, the application’s End User License Agreement states that the software might be insecure, which means that it could put your computer at risk. It seems to us that there are safer browsers for you to use and the application does not appear to be worth taking any risks. If you think alike, you should have no second thoughts about the PUP’s removal. You can get rid of the browser quite easily, just slide below and take a look at the provided instructions.

Guntony

If you notice Guntony on your computer, you should be careful running your Google Chrome browser. As a matter of fact, this program was based on the Chromium engine; therefore, it can easily be mixed up with the real thing. Why is that a problem? Well, this application might redirect you to potentially risky websites and also introduce you to unreliable third-party ads. Since this software was built on a legitimate platform, our researchers at anti-spyware-101.com have classified it as a potentially unwanted program, i.e., a PUP. The applications that belong to this category do not usually mean great threat to your computer, but they can still cause certain security-related issues indirectly. This PUP, for instance, can sneak onto your computer together with malicious software installers. That is why its presence can indicate multiple system threats. Even if this infection cannot cause as much damage as a ransomware would, we recommend that you remove Guntony from your computer. Please let us tell you more about this PUP so that you understand our arguments with regard to the potential risks. Read more »

Rts dsrlte

Rts dsrlte is a possibly inactive browser hijacker that can emerge in your browsers without your noticing it; at least, until you launch your browsers again or run a web search. This hijacker is capable of changing certain browser settings to promote a potentially unreliable search engine (Rts.dsrlte.com). The pure presence of this infection could mean that your privacy has been breached, which is an illegal act. Therefore, if you happen to find this browser hijacker in your Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome browsers, you should know that your system security may be in danger. Partly, due to exposure to unsafe third-party web content and cyber criminals, and partly, because of the other malicious threats this hijacker can bring on board. Since its presence can indicate multiple threats, we advise you to remove Rts dsrlte right away. Read more »

System Care

System Care is a PC optimization tool promoted on two websites: uspcworks.com and globalpcworks.com. It is known that it might also enter systems with the help of additional free applications available for download on file-sharing websites.

Potentially unwanted programs are applications that look good and promise to act beneficially but still have the potential of causing harm to the user’s computer or simply acting in an undesirable way. In most cases, users do not even know that. We are sure that you do not know much about the risks associated with keeping System Care installed either. Therefore, we are going to tell you more about System Care and how it acts in this report. Read more »
