Oh My Coupons

Oh My Coupons

Would you rather pay the full price for a product or apply a coupon to save money? Most people hunt for discounts and coupons, which is why programs like Oh My Coupons keep emerging. This program is published by EPOP INC, but, according to Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, it could be distributed by different parties. The official page promoting this adware (advertisement-supported software) is ohmycoupons.com/index.html, but we know that this site does not provide users with an installer. Instead, you are more likely to download this program packaged with other programs. We have found that cloudfront.net is one of the domains that can host the installer of this adware. Do you want to learn more about the distribution and the activity of this adware? More importantly, do you want to learn how to remove Oh My Coupons? If you do, keep reading this report. Read more »

Guardbox

Guardbox

If you care about your virtual security, you will not download Guardbox. Although this program claims to work as a security tool, it is highly unlikely that it will work as well as you hope. Even if it does block access to some malicious websites and protect you from cyber attacks, this program can show online ads, which is the reason we do not recommend trusting it. What is more, this program has the power to change browser search settings, which is another reason it does not have the best reputation. Luckily, this suspicious program is no browser hijacker, and it is unlikely to take over your browsers without your permission. However, when installing this program, you might have to check a box indicating that you want to “revert to original search settings,” which is why you need to be cautious. Despite this, some users still choose to remove Guardbox. Read more »

Our malware researchers have analyzed this infection and proposed a manual removal guide that we have included at the end of this article. However, we suggest that you take a few minutes to familiarize with Egystart.com in order to avoid similar infections in the future. Read more »

TorqueShip

Do you install software based on the promises it makes rather than the third-party reviews? If you do, you might install TorqueShip without realizing that this advertisement-supported program is unreliable. Regardless of what kind of services this program might promise, you will be assured that they are beneficial and trustworthy, but the thing is that programs like this one can promise anything just to trick you into installing them. We know that bogus promises were employed by the clones of this adware as well. Some of these clones include GraphiteCommand, Dealsy, and MicroChallenger. Although we have created reports analyzing these programs individually, you can learn everything about them by reading this report. After all, these ad-supported programs are identical, and, if you learn how to remove TorqueShip, we are sure that you will be ready to face its clones. Read more »

Content Defender

Content Defender

What do you call a program that promises one service and, in reality, produces something completely different? Content Defender is that kind of program, and we do not identify it as harmless. You must have been made to believe that this application can protect your operating system against malicious content, but this is just bait that the developer of this program uses to attract more users. Would you install a program whose only intention was to replace the ads you see on the websites you visit? Of course you would not, which is why Yunitekh Soft and Artex Management S.A. have decided to promote this ad-supported program in a completely misleading way. Doesn’t this make you want to remove Content Defender? If you need more information before you can make any decisions, you can read this article. Read more »

Disturbicons

Disturbicons

Do you know that some unreliable programs are created using a template that was already used hundreds of times before? Disturbicons is one of these programs, and we have found that it works just like Web Shield, Sexy Tube Mode, and hundreds of similar programs. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have found that Big Water Applications LLC is listed as the publisher of many of them, which is why we believe that they are controlled by the same party. It is not surprising that one company creates more than one product, but it is quite suspicious when it creates almost identical, poorly working applications. If you want to learn more about this and acquire knowledge about the removal of Disturbicons, we strongly advise reading this report. Read more »
