SiteRanker

SiteRanker

Despite being presented as a helpful tool, SiteRanker is just another undesirable adware helper which you will want to remove from the browsers. We have reported adware helpers many times in the past. Whether your operating system is affected by Wsys Control, BenchUpdater, Exerunner or any other disturbing application, you can expect the same activity. These applications are meant to collect information which reveals your browsing behavior and interaction with the associated software. Even though SiteRanker supposedly spies to gather more data about the sites you browse, we still recommend that you delete this adware. If you are already familiar with the program and you just want to remove SiteRanker – scroll down to the guides below. If you are interested in how the program works – continue reading. Read more »

Speedchecker

Speedchecker

Speedchecker, or TestSpeeder, is an irritating browser extension which promises to test your system’s speeds just so you would install it. Once activated, the program runs as an advertisement supported program and presents different online offers. If you do not remove Speedchecker, you will be introduced to a number of disturbing ads, and some of them may be highly misleading or simply disturbing. If you keep the suspicious application running, it is impossible to say what outcome you could face. It is possible that the displayed ads could redirect you to unreliable sites, push you to install intrusive or malicious software, and involve you in different scams. Due to this, we identify the removal of this adware as mandatory. Read more »

Mystartsearch.com Virus

Mystartsearch.com Virus

Mystartsearch.com Virus is considered to be a threat which may impact the users of Chrome, Firefox and IE browsers. Even though in most cases the search engine is presented as an optional offer you can refuse or accept, in other cases it can install seemingly without permission. In these cases we identify the search tool as a virus. Overall, it does not matter much how the search tool was installed onto the web browsers because you should remove Mystartsearch.com Virus in any case. This search engine is not a beneficial search tool, it runs suspicious web cookies, and presents disturbing easy-access links or advertisements. The services related to the search provider are not only useless – they could be risky as well. If you do not delete the virus, you could face the activity of unreliable parties as well. Read more »

System Speed Up

System Speed Up

System Speed Up is a system optimizer which we identify as a potentially unwanted program. First of all, this Systweak application is not beneficial. Even though it claims to detect and fix all registry issues or other kind of errors, our researchers have discovered that it cannot identify real problems. This indicates that the scanner associated to the program is either unfinished or misleading. Whichever the case, we recommend having System Speed Up removed from the Windows operating system. This program cannot guarantee a clean, optimized and error free PC, even though this is exactly what computer users are promised at systemspeedup.com. Have you purchased the upgraded version of the application already? You still should delete the PUP. Read more »

Dorrible Ribble

Dorrible Ribble

Dorrible Ribble is a suspicious browser extension which presents advertisements. Even though the app could be bundled with third-party applications, it is officially promoted at insuggestion.net. The information on the site reveals that Ribble is “an advertisement software” and so the intentions are clear. The transparency of the program does not change the fact that you should consider Dorrible Ribble removal. We recommend that you delete the program because the offers it will present are unlikely to be useful in any way. In fact, as Anti-Spyware-101.com indicate, the Dorrible Ribble ads are likely to be more disturbing than helpful. This article has been created after analyzing the suspicious application and its activity. Read it to learn more about the application and figure out the best removal plan. Read more »

Vanilla virus

Vanilla virus is a term that has been selected to dub one ransomware infection that enters the system surreptitiously and blocks your access to the system. This name is used because the infection displays a ransom warning according to which the victim, i.e. you, has to pay a fine using Vanilla Reload, Moneypak or Reloadit, all of which are money payment systems. The term MoneyPak has already been used to refer to specific ransomware infections, but it does not mean that the payment service is somehow related to the creation of the threat. In the present case, the term Vanilla virus is used because it is a unique example of one more ransomware infection. This threat should be removed from the computer once noticed on the computer, and this recommendation applies to every single malicious program. Read more »

LookThisUp

LookThisUp

LookThisUp is software that will help you to search for the information quickly and effectively. It even claims to be “the most useful application you will ever download”. Unfortunately, it is not as useful as it might seem at first. As the researchers of anti-spyware-101.com have found out, LookThisUp is a typical advertising-supported application. It means that it just simply seeks to drive traffic to particular websites. In order to do that it will provide you with various commercial advertisements. They will be placed on various websites and it does not even matter which browser you use. It is very likely that ads will disrupt your browsing session and even expose you to threats, which is why we recommend that you delete this product of Sea Bug, LLC. Our manual removal instructions will help you to erase LookThisUp without any difficulties. Read more »

Framed Display

Framed Display

Framed Display cannot fulfill the promises to enhance your browsing experience, as stated on the official website frameddisplay.com, because the advertisement-supported program will bombard you with random offers which cannot be trusted. If you want the browsers you run flooded with random banner and pop-up ads promoting highly questionable and possibly unreliable offers, you can install this add-on; however, it is not recommended. If the program has been activated already, you should remove Framed Display right away. If you do not get rid of the disturbing application, more and more suspicious offers will appear on the websites you visit. Of course, if you delete the advertisement-supported program Framed Display, the disturbing offers will be disabled. Read more »
