iFishPlayer

iFishPlayer seems like a useful, free media player, but if you look closely enough, you may realize that the presence of this application might have some undesirable consequences; especially, if it sneaked onto your computer without your noticing it. You might think that you are the “king of your jungle,” still it is possible for potentially unwanted programs (PUP) and malware infections to infiltrate your system without your knowledge. The sad thing is that it is usually the user who actually downloads and installs these, but pays no attention to the installation steps, and thus, allows a bunch of undesirable application on-board. In such a case, this PUP is the last thing you should worry about. Before long, you might be annoyed by potentially harmful third-party ads any time you launch your browsers and start your usual surfing routine. We do believe that you are safer if you remove iFishPlayer and make sure that there is no other threat endangering your operating system. However, it is all up to you; whatever you feel is right for your PC. Read more »

SpeedyMediaConverter

SpeedyMediaConverter is a undesirable media converter that our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com have classified as a potentially unwanted program. Removing this converter and getting a more reliable one is an option worth considering, because this converter only changes the file format, while real video converters recode and change variable bitrate/framerate, metadata, framing, synchronization, and so on. SpeedyMediaConverter does not seem to do this as it converts a file in a matter of a few minutes, while reliable converters take their time to do the job right. Apart from its poor converting function, this program can also display commercial advertisements and gather non-personal information about you for marketing and advertising purposes. So if you have this converter, we invite you to take a few minutes of your precious time to learn more about it. Read more »

Shoppr

Who would not like to save money while shopping online with a browser extension, such as Shoppr? But before you download and install this application, we must warn you that Shoppr is not what it seems.

Some users simply give up the fight against third-party ads and let them keep popping up. They do not know that most of the time they can easily remove them from their computers. As a matter of fact, unless you delete Shoppr, the flow of the ads will not cease to hit your screen. Since these ads may introduce you to unreliable web content, it is really important that you learn about this threat and what you can do to sort this infection out. Read more »
