Smart Ones

Smart Ones might look like a very decent application because it promises to provide you with coupons, discounts, and sales for the items that you search for on commercial websites (e.g. ebay.com, amazon.com, and bestbuy.com). You might think that it will help you to save money and time while you shop online; however, the truth is that it will just flood your Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browsers with various annoying advertisements. They are not only very annoying, but might also interfere with your activities. Therefore, we recommend that you delete Smart Ones from your system as soon as possible in order to stop commercials from appearing. You are free to use our manual removal instructions for this matter. Read more »

PremierDownloadManager Toolbar

PremierDownloadManager Toolbar is a suspicious browser extension which is presented by Mindspark Interactive Network. Our malware researchers are familiar with this company because they have already reviewed TranslationBuddy Toolbar, HowToSimplified Toolbar, and other similar applications. Even though these browser extensions offer different services, they have more similarities than differences. First of all, all Mindspark toolbars are meant to promote links to third-party sites. The toolbar provides links to wunderground.com, facebook.com, vevo.com, and other popular sites. The extension also promotes the tools of the PremierDownloadManager. If you click the Download and Scheduler buttons, a download manager will pop up. Instead of interacting with the extension or the download manager, you should remove PremierDownloadManager Toolbar.

ArcadeParlor

If you want to play premium games at arcadeparlor.com, you will be requested to install a browser add-on named ArcadeParlor. The program is compatible with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox and is known to be bundled with other programs, including MyPCBackUp, YTDownloader, Media Player by VideoBuzz, and other freeware programs. In order to avoid unreliable programs, you should be very attentive during every single software installation process so that you can decline unwanted programs. However, not all setup files provide users with the installation wizard, which means that the user does not get information concerning the program and changes within the system; hence, it is also important to have a reliable spyware and malware removal program on the computer.
