DislikeOnFb

While Facebook users keep demanding an official “Dislike” button, programs like DislikeOnFb keep offering fake services. This application is meant to add a function enabling you to dislike posts, photos, and other content posted on Facebook; however, this program works in a completely unexpected manner. Instead of adding the function it promises, this program spies on users to introduce them to the most attractive offers and advertisements. As you can guess, we identify this suspicious browser add-on as an advertisement-supported program. At the moment, this add-on can be installed on Chrome and Firefox browsers, but our Anti-Spyware-101.com analysts believe that this adware could cross over to other platforms as well. Whichever browser was infected with this adware, you must remove DislikeOnFb, and our report will show you how. Read more »

www-homepage.com

If you find www-homepage.com as your home page when you launch your browser, it is possible that your computer has been infected with a browser hijacker. This hijacker seems to be most popular in Belgium, but that does not mean you cannot get infected with it anywhere else in the world, mostly because it may be distributed in freeware bundles that are most commonly hosted on freeware and torrent websites. These sites can normally be accessed from all over the world. The moment your browsers get hijacked is, in fact, a breach of your privacy since browser settings get changed without your permission. Why would you keep a tool on your computer that does not respect your will or privacy? What else can such a hijacker do? Removing www-homepage.com from your computer is the only way to avoid the exposure to potentially unsafe third-party content this hijacker might present to you. Please read on to find out more about this infection to understand the risks you might be up against. Read more »

Faster Web

Faster Web is an extremely intrusive adware application that we recommend removing right away. It is more irritating than most adware, because it will open a new tab every time you click any kind of link.

It goes without saying that the ads come from various third parties of unknown origin. You should not trust this annoying adware, and we suggest getting rid of it as soon as possible. Cyber security is very important and can be easily compromised by programs such as Faster Web. Read more »

If BuyTheApp were not a free application, we could tell you not to buy the app. But, instead, we tell you not to keep the app on your computer if it has infiltrated your system, because it is a potentially harmful adware program. Our research team at Anti-Spyware-101.com has found that this adware is based on the JustPlugIt engine and thus belongs to the Multiplug family of worthless adware applications. The banner and pop-up advertisements this adware displays may be potentially unreliable. If you keep it on your system, you may expose your computer and your privacy to possible malware attacks. Removing BuyTheApp is essential in order to restore order on your PC. Read more »

Gaming New Tab

Many computer users play online games, and many computer programs offer services associated with these games. Gaming New Tab is a program that supposedly can provide access to your favorite gaming sites, and it is available at lp.inmind-games.com. Needless to say, instead of providing links to the gaming sites you actually visit, this program will provide links to online games that it was set up to promote. ConvertBox Toolbar, WorldNews New Tab, and other InMind, Inc., programs have the same flaws, which is why they do not have a good reputation. You should not use programs that are not beneficial and cannot meet your expectations. Unfortunately, there are a few other reasons to delete Gaming New Tab from your operating system. Read more »

WebSearcher.eu

WebSearcher.eu is not your typical search engine. It is, in fact, regarded as a browser hijacker that you will definitely want to remove, because it automatically changes your browser’s homepage to WebSearcher.eu. This hijacker works only on Mozilla Firefox and comes as either a browser extension or an executable application. If your computer becomes infected with the executable version, then, chances are, that it will display commercial advertisements. Needless to say that commercial ads are unwelcome and can even pose a threat to your computer’s security as their content is unreliable. We have more detailed information regarding this particular browser hijacker, so if you have it on your computer and you want to get rid of it, then we invite you to read the full article.

TerasGames

TerasGames is supposed to be a game downloader or manager, but our security experts categorize it as a potentially unwanted application.

Delete TerasGames from your computer and then make sure your system is safeguarded against other uninvited guests. Read more »
