If you are looking for a program that could help you create a free Wi-Fi hotspot, you might choose EnjoyWiFi. Since this suspicious application does not have an official installer, it is unclear how exactly users would be introduced to it, but we fear that third-party installers might be employed to do this. If you have downloaded the PUP (potentially unwanted program) using an unfamiliar installer, think which other programs were installed along with it. If you did not notice anything, quickly perform a full system scan to determine whether or not additional threats are active. You can click the Download link below to install a free malware scanner that will let you know if you need to delete EnjoyWiFi along with other infections. Needless to say, if malware has been found, you probably should remove it from your operating system as soon as possible, but you must not ignore the PUP either. Although it does work as promised, it is extremely suspicious, and you might put yourself at risk by trusting it. Read more »

Have you downloaded Incognito Start Button after researching it and its services, or were you careless? Considering that this Google Chrome extension does not offer beneficial services – it simply adds a button to help access Incognito mode – it is unlikely that users would choose to install it. Instead, they are most likely to find this suspicious add-on offered along with other programs. If you are one who does not miss on freeware, you have to be cautious because many software bundles – even those offering seemingly legitimate and well-known programs – could be used to expose users to malware. Is the suspicious extension malicious as well? Unfortunately, that is not entirely clear, and that is why Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers are worried. Since there is no legal information supporting the add-on, there is a great possibility that it acts in highly undesirable ways. If you have no idea what we are talking about, you need to continue reading this report. If you do, you will also learn how to delete Incognito Start Button, and our research team strongly recommends getting rid of this strange PUP (short for “potentially unwanted program”). Read more »

Movie-Quest is described as a plugin that can provide a search tool with which the user could be able to look for movies and “all things Hollywood.” However, our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com tested the provided search engine themselves and did not find anything unique about it except annoying third-party advertising content that could be injected into the displayed results. To make matters worse, there is a chance some of the search engine’s advertising content might be malicious. Accordingly, the application was classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). If Movie-Quest does not work how you expected it to, we urge you not to waste any time with it and erase it before anything goes wrong. For manual deletion, you should have a look at the instructions located below this report, but if you wish to know other details about the PUP, we would recommend reading the rest of the text first.

If you find that your web searches go faster and with the first result loading immediately while using your Google Chrome browser, you may have SoLucky, a questionable browser extension, on your system. Our malware specialists tested this application and concluded that it is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) because of certain traits it may show. For example, this PUP may collect information about you and even share it with third parties. You might also be exposed to potentially unreliable third-party advertisements while having this tool active in your affected browser. What’s more, this extension might come on board in a free software bundle that could contain malicious software installers as well. All in all, we consider this PUP undesirable on your system. Although you have the last say in this, we recommend that you remove SoLucky from your computer. Read more »
