Browsing Secure

Browsing Secure

Surely, virtual security is important to you. Unfortunately, there are unreliable programs, such as Browsing Secure, that promise bogus security services just to trick you into executing and trusting them. If you install this program onto your own Windows operating system, it will start showing advertisements. Do you think that this is how all security tools work?

DesktopClock

DesktopClock

It is high time we talk about a program that you should remove. It is called DesktopClock, and our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com have classified this program as adware, because apart from showing you time it will show ads as well. Both of these functions go hand in hand in the free version of this program. We do not see the point in using this program, because all windows operating systems have a built-in clock. Read more »

ZipperNew

You should not keep ZipperNew on your computer for a number of reasons.

File Opener Pro

File Opener Pro is an application that should allow you to choose software that can open the file extension you need. However, the program usually comes in software bundles or is received when people click on various advertisements. Therefore, we have to classify this program as a potentially unwanted application.

If we are talking about software packages here, it is important to mention that there might be several other unwanted applications running on your computer. Read more »

That is why we advise you to be careful with this toolbar, too. Like all the other members of this family, SmarterPassword Toolbar also looks all innocent and maybe even useful to some.

Palmodeal

Palmodeal might seem to be a perfect program for those people who shop online.
