PasswordView is one more adware program coming from the Lyrics family. It should act like a password reminder tool. Just click on the image of the key generated by this application and it will display your password if you have earlier entered it on the website you currently visit. Even if it may look as a useful feature, you should not trust your passwords to this application. The reason is that this program collects information about your Web browsing tendencies and shares it with its business partners. Do not guess whether PasswordView could share your passwords with those partners or not. Remove the application from your PC thus preventing any possible negative consequences. Read more »

Advertisers keep coming up with new ways to promote their offers, and Hi-Lighter, for example, shows ads when you highlight the words on any web page. Although this is an original way to showcase links and advertisements, we have seen many programs using the same advertising method, including HighlightSearches, Search Highlighter, and WordWizard. Needless to say, all of these programs are introduced as the best browsing tools, but Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers classify them as unreliable. If you download any of these programs onto your operating system, you can expect annoying pop-ups and suspicious ads to show up whenever you browse the web. Unfortunately, these ads might be not only annoying but also misleading, and this is why you should remove Hi-Lighter. Read more »

Clicking on them can result in some unwanted results, so care about your online safety and delete DynamicWPaper from your computer. Read more »

Whatever Coupilation has promised, you can forget about it because this advertisement-supported program uses bogus benefits only to trick you into installing it onto your Windows operating system. According to our researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com, this adware is installed onto the PC and such popular web browsers as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. Once installed, this program can fulfill its true purpose, which is to showcase third-party ads. It is unknown whether this program was built by advertisers to alleviate their work or by parties who earn money by supporting advertisers, but it is obvious that they do not have your best interest in their minds. If you do not remove Coupilation from your operating system, you could become a victim of schemers, and this is something you have to prevent from happening. Read more »
