CouponGiant is an advertising-supported application (adware) that belongs to the MultiPlug family. It is known that this program can randomize its name, so if you ever detect a program with a similar name, there is basically no doubt that it is the same CouponGiant. This program might really seem to be beneficial at first sight, but it is, actually, not, so we recommend deleting it soon after you have detected it on your computer. Read more »

This tool – which is identical to the infamous Exciterewards.com – currently does not work as a search provider, but that does not stop it from performing in a potentially malicious manner.

“Videos without a browser!” is the promotional slogan you first see when you go to NowUSeeIt Player's website. It is supposed to play online videos on your desktop, but it does not. Therefore, you should remove it, as it features none of the promised functions. In fact, this program is incomplete. NowUSeeIt Player’s website does not state this, but rather enforces the myth that this program is actually useful. Read more »

RayDownload is one of those potentially unwanted programs that users install on their systems themselves. Of course, we do not say that this program cannot enter systems without a user’s direct permission too. Actually, we understand why users often download RayDownload themselves. If you visit the official website of this software (raydownload.com), you will notice immediately that it claims to be a very useful download manager. Even though this program seems to be really beneficial, we do not recommend keeping it installed if you have downloaded it from some kind of third-party website or if it has entered your system without permission. Actually, the version available on its official website is not perfect too. If you ever notice something really suspicious about RayDownload, or you just simply do not like it, you can eliminate it from the system. It is not a big problem if you do not know how to do that because we will provide you with the necessary information. Read more »

At first glance, you might not know what Top-That actually is. It is claimed that this program can provide you with a more comfortable way to browse the web. But we suggest removing Top-That, because it does not have anything useful to offer. It is a simple adware program that will show you commercial advertisements and make money for its developers. Programs that display third-party advertisements should be viewed with suspicion and this particular program is no exception. You just cannot be certain that the promoted content is reliable.
