Safe Browse App

Safe Browse App

Safe Browse App sounds like an application that protects your virtual security while you are surfing the web, and that is also what it claims to do; however, the truth seems to be very far from that. This is, in fact, a useless ad-supported application that can actually harm your computer’s security by displaying potentially unreliable advertisements. The risk in clicking on ads that have corrupted embedded links is that you might land on unsafe websites. Most probably, you already have several security issues, because this adware may sneak onto your computer in the company of other malware programs. Understanding the potential problems this infection may cause to your Windows operating system -- or even your privacy -- can help you step up and act before more issues emerge because of its presence.

Our malware researchers took a close look at this program and suggest that you remove it, because it has been set to display annoying commercial advertisements that come from unreliable sources.

Search.MyTelevisionXp.com

Search.MyTelevisionXp.com

If you ever notice that Search.MyTelevisionXp.com has replaced your homepage, default search engine, and New Tab page, there is basically no doubt that you have downloaded software My Email XP, which promises to enable you to “login to your email quicker than ever before”. In such a case, users agree with the changes themselves; however, it does not mean that Search.MyTelevisionXp.com cannot make the changes without permission too. Therefore, some researchers classify this search engine as a browser hijacker. Unfortunately, we cannot say that Search.MyTelevisionXp.com is very trustworthy, so we do not recommend keeping it in the place of your homepage, search engine, and New Tab page. In order to start using another reliable search provider, you should get rid of Search.MyTelevisionXp.com first. If you have installed My Email XP software yourself and then noticed the presence of Search.MyTelevisionXp.com, you will have to delete the software via Control Panel first and then remove this unwanted search engine. We will explain you how to do that in a greater detail further in this article. Read more »

TinyMediaPlayer

TinyMediaPlayer

TinyMediaPlayer claims to be a video and audio player like no other with regard to hard disk usage, which is allegedly so “tiny” in its case, but, unfortunately, our malware researchers have categorized it as a PUP, i.e., a potentially unwanted program. While PUPs does not count as infections and they are not considered dangerous threats either, they can still show traits of unreliability. This PUP, for example, did not strike us as a decent media player for starters. But the fact that it may start showing annoying third-party advertisements is definitely not a good sign. Our overall verdict is that you are better off removing TinyMediaPlayer. For the details, please continue reading our report. Read more »

MovieJunkies New Tab

MovieJunkies New Tab

MovieJunkies New Tab is a potentially unwanted application and users caring about their online security should delete it without any hesitation. The program targets people who like to watch movies. It offers the recent gossips, teasers, and reviews. But in reality, the program comes with the Ask.com search provider and modifies settings of your Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome browsers. Both the creators and developers of MovieJunkies New Tab have strong ties with Ask.com, and the program is probably just another try to promote the search engine. Therefore, there are no benefits to continue keeping it. Read more »

Search.realcoolmoviessearch.com

Search.realcoolmoviessearch.com

If your regular default search provider was replaced with Search.realcoolmoviessearch.com, it is most likely that you have accepted this option when installing third-party software from unreliable sites. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com malware experts, you might have been offered this search tool when downloading software from filewon.com, filewin.com, and similar sites. Fortunately, you cannot be forced or tricked into installing this search provider and the Chrome and Firefox extensions that come with it. Instead, you are likely to be provided with a pop-up recommending that you install this software. Of course, you should not follow this recommendation. Instead, you should refuse the offer, and rethink installing the software promoting this strange search tool. It is possible that this software is unreliable, and your virtual security could be jeopardized by it. In fact, we recommend removing Search.realcoolmoviessearch.com because it could put your virtual security at risk as well. Read more »

Chedot

Chedot

Chedot is a browser “built for speed, simplicity, and security.” It claims on its official website that it will help you to “download everything you need fast and safely.” As it makes so many promises, it is not surprising that users download and install this browser. In fact, not all computer users who notice the presence of Chedot have downloaded it themselves. Our specialists claim that Chedot also travels bundled with other programs. There are many Russian and Egyptian users’ complaints that this browser has appeared on their systems out of nowhere, so we can suggest that it is aimed at people living there mainly. Of course, other users might notice the presence of Chedot too, especially if they use Russian or Egyptian IP address. It does not really matter whether this program has entered your system without your permission or you have downloaded it yourself because this still does not change the fact that it is a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

JustCloud

JustCloud

JustCloud seems to be a very useful program at first sight, so many users who want to have a backup of their photos, videos, documents, music, and other files install it on their systems. In most cases, they get it from its official website justcloud.com, but some users also detect JustCloud on their systems and cannot remember downloading this program, which suggests that it can enter the system without permission too. It really seems that JustCloud is going to act as it promises on its official website, but we still do not think that it can be trusted 100%. Our specialists have found several suspicious facts about this program, so they have placed it into the category of potentially unwanted programs. If you want to find out what is wrong with this application, you should continue reading this article. You will be able to decide very easily whether to keep this program or not after doing that.
