TwistTinker is an adware program and as such it displays commercial advertisements. Some users may think that these ads can provide them with useful information and even help them purchase something at a lower price. Unfortunately, third-party ads promoted by adware programs are often embedded with outgoing links that lead to dangerous websites and further adware infections. Therefore, to protect your computer from potential harm, you should remove TwistTinker immediately. This program is not hard to terminate on your own; you simply need to uninstall it via Control Panel. However, keeping in mind that there might be more undesirable applications on-board, you should seriously consider scanning your PC with a licensed antispyware tool. Read more »

BrowserShield says on its official website that it is 100% free and always up to date. On top of that, it says that it will not allow users to download malicious software. It is unclear whether it is really going to do that, but there is no doubt that this application is going to show commercial advertisements. BrowserShield does not try to hide the fact that it displays ads because it declares on its official web page that it is "ad-supported." You are the one who can decide whether to keep such a program installed on the system or not, but you should know that there are risks related to the ads it shows. There is also no doubt that all these commercials which it generates are very intrusive and annoying. On top of that, they can disrupt whatever activities you do on the web, e.g. shop online. If you do not want this to happen, you have to erase BrowserShield immediately. We hope that we will answer all your questions regarding the removal of this adware in this article.

FutureGames could be an application that provides you with the latest online games, but, instead, this is just a simple, useless, ad-supported program.

Web Monitor is the newest addition to an immerging lineage of adware applications that deceive people into thinking that they are unique and legitimate. It is suggested that you remove this particular program, because its proclaimed functions are non-existent. The murky software developers that published Web Monitor had only one thing in mind — use it to display commercial advertisements. Adware programs are indeed a cost-effective way to make money, since unreliable website owners and software developers use adware to promote their products and services. We believe that this particular application may advertise unreliable content, so it would be best if you get rid of it. Read more »

The creators of malicious programs usually put in some effort to make their products more appealing. The creators of Treasure Track have not done a good job at making this unreliable advertisement-supported program attractive. The official website, treasuretrack.net, does not explain how this program works and does not list any benefits. This is why it is surprising that computer users install this program at all. In fact, the website representing this adware was set up only to provide the End User License and Privacy Policy documents because an installer does not exist. It appears that the distribution of this ad-supported program was assigned to third-party software distributors, and this is not good news. Unfortunately, this means that you might have to delete Treasure Track-related malware. Read more »

Not a single deal presented by TilDeal should be considered reliable. Even if this despicable ad-supported program throws a few harmless ads into the mix, you are more likely to encounter misleading offers, malware installers, and other unreliable advertisements. Unfortunately, these ads and deals might be concealed using deceptive information, which is why computer users are often tricked into interacting with unreliable deals and offers. Experienced users, who know how schemers work and what kind of tricks they might employ, are unlikely to interact with suspicious online offers, regardless of how attractive they might appear to be. Unfortunately, most users who install this adware are inexperienced, which is why they might have trouble identifying and removing TilDeal as a serious computer threat. Read more »

WhiteWindow is a totally useless application without any function at all; as a matter of fact, it has been categorized as an adware program by our malware specialists at Anti-Spyware-101.com. This application is only beneficial for its creators, who can make easy money by spreading their product and trying to make people click on the third-party ads it keeps displaying. These ads can be rather annoying and distracting, but that is not the biggest problem; they might also pose a threat to your system’s security. This adware is most likely to come in freeware bundles, which also hold certain dangers for your computer. All in all, our verdict is the same as in the case of all other adware applications: If you want to keep your PC clean, you should remove WhiteWindow right now. Read more »
