Zeast PC Tuneup

Zeast PC Tuneup

Zeast PC Tuneup claims to be a really useful PC optimization tool, so users do not even think that they have a suspicious program installed on their systems. First of all, this tool promises to remove junk files, program and browser clutter, refresh registry, and delete unnecessary files from the disk. The only thing users have to do is to click on one icon. Even though Zeast PC Tuneup promises to work really beneficially, you should not keep it installed for one main reason - Zeast PC Tuneup is of a really low quality and we do not think that it will act in a beneficial way. We do not recommend keeping untrustworthy tools installed, so we suggest getting rid of Zeast PC Tuneup as soon as possible. We will explain you why you should do that in a more detailed way further in this article. Read more »

DownloaderPlus is a questionable program that may cause you some security issues indirectly.

But it does not mean that you can take its presence lightly; on the contrary, we advise you to make up your mind and remove DownloaderPlus from your PC because keeping such an unreliable application on-board might result in more malware infections, to say the least. There is also a chance to be exposed to unsafe websites by third-party advertisements, which might lead to your being scammed by cyber criminals as a worst case scenario. Read more »

ZipperFile

ZipperFile

Are you looking for a legitimate file compressor? ZipperFile might seem like a good choice, but this is not a program we recommend installing or trusting. This potentially unwanted program is just as unreliable as its counterparts, Z-Zip and VAFCompressor. Although these programs have separate websites and they are introduced in different ways, they are identical, considering that they were created to show advertisements. We do not claim that these suspicious programs will not compress your files, but you must not ignore the fact that they can inject unpredictable advertisements. If you interacted with these ads carelessly, you could become a victim of schemers. Please continue reading to learn how to avoid this and how to remove ZipperFile. Read more »

Z-Zip

Z-Zip

You might think that installing Z-Zip was a good idea, but have you noticed that it does not actually work? This is because it does not function as a file archiver. Its developers promote it as one, but has more to do with online advertising than actually compressing and decompressing files. Its website states that “Z-Zip is the best alternative for decompressing your files.” However, our research says otherwise. Currently, there is no working sample of this program, but, regardless, it might still display commercial ads, among other things, on your computer’s screen. If you need more information about this archiver, than we kindly suggest reading this full article. Read more »

Reeturn.com

Reeturn.com

If you see that your default homepage changed to Reeturn.com without you noticing, then this browser hijacker has managed to enter your system. As it is mostly distributed in software bundles, your PC may also be infected with other security threats. In any case, you should not allow the browser hijacker to stay on your device any longer. The official webpage of Reeturn.com says that this program is a “leading global provider of search-based advertising,” so you will encounter advertisement-supported results to your every search query by further using the unreliable search engine. Persons standing behind those ads may have unlawful goals in their minds, so remove the browser hijacker and prevent all the possible dangers. Read more »
