In case the application is already running on the PC, you certainly should think about having PassWizard removed.

App Bud

App Bud

App Bud is one of the newest products of Super Web LLC; thus, if your system has ever been infected by Adanak, Gooternet, Webporpoise or other similar application, you will definitely know that it is not worth expecting anything beneficial from App Bud either. The security experts of anti-spyware-101.com have carried out a research and found out that App Bud is just an advertising-supported application, which means that its main aim is to advertise various products and drive traffic to particular websites. As you can see, App Bud is not going to act in a useful way even though it claims to be able to enhance your browsing experience by providing tools for searching the web, finding the best prices, and the like.

Due to this characteristic, Neurowise is regarded as adware and can be removed from the computer by certain anti-malware programs. Neurowise may seem to be a reliable program because it is promoted on its official website, which is neurowise.info; however, the fact that it is promoted in this way does not mean that the program is safe to use.

TermTutor

TermTutor

TermTutor auto starts with Windows, connects to the Internet without permission, and presents disruptive and potentially unreliable online advertisements. If every user running this application would know this, we have no doubt that the application would not be active for much longer. Unfortunately, some computer users download the application and trust it to present authentic services. Even though there are plenty of reasons to remove TermTutor from the operating system, many forget about the intrusive adware altogether due to other suspicious applications running at the same time.

Buy4Less

Buy4Less

If you are looking into installing extensions which are meant to help you shop online, we recommend researching them thoroughly beforehand. Buy4Less and other similar applications may promise you incredible services; however, trusting them blindly is not smart at all. The application presented via falkors.com, download.infodatacloud.com, and the Chrome Web Store actually has been developed using the Crossrider engine. To say that the software linked to this engine does not have a good reputation may be an understatement. As Anti-Spyware-101.com adware researchers have discovered, the application essentially published by Falkors Ltd. may be just another tool in the hands of schemers. Read more »
