SearchQuest is an ad-supported program that advertises itself as a very useful application. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com have checked its official website searchquestapp.com and noticed that this software promises to enable users to search and translate the information they find on the web easily. SearchQuest claims that it is very easy to use it; a user simply needs to highlight the text he/she comes across on the Internet. Even though this program wants to convince users that it is very beneficial, our specialists cannot confirm that it really acts as it promises. In addition, they say that this application might cause you other security-related problems if you decide to keep it installed. There is no doubt that other more trustworthy tools exist, so you should get rid of this advertising-supported application and install a similar but trustworthy application instead of it.

Ideal Deal is not so ideal if you look at how it acts. Even though this program is meant to provide you with shopping deals, it is most likely that these “shopping deals” will disguise completely useless offers. Unfortunately, many computer users are careless, and they interact with suspicious ads without even thinking about the security threats that could emerge.

In addition, this program sometimes tricks users by coming to computers unnoticed. All in all, it is up to you to decide whether to keep PiccShare or remove it, but we speak for the second option.

Blockeru is a program that is mainly aimed at people who have children. If you visit its official website, you will notice immediately that this program promises to “prevent your child from encountering unwanted adult content websites.” Unfortunately, you will not be able to download this program from its web page, which means that this program is distributed somehow differently. If you have detected Blockeru and cannot remember downloading it, it is very likely that it has entered your system together with other suspicious applications. It is advisable to erase programs that enter the system without permission immediately.

The deletion of Blockeru is the only way to stop them from appearing on your screen. Read more »
