FavGenius

FavGenius is a program that will allow you to put all your favorite links in one place. If you ever need them, you will be able to access them very quickly, which means that you will not forget the URLs of the most interesting websites ever again. As you can see, FavGenius promises to act in a very beneficial way; however, we do not think that it can be fully trusted. If you wonder why it is so, we just want to say that FavGenius is an advertising-supported application and it is going to display all kinds of ads on your screen. It might do other activities too.

LifeSaver

LifeSaver

LifeSaver will definitely not save your life in any sense, but it is more likely that it causes you virtual “heart attack” by its annoying and potentially harmful third-party advertisements. This browser add-on claims to help you save money; however, in reality, it only makes money for its publishers based on the pay-per-click system. Therefore, our malware researchers have categorized it as an adware program. A lot of users do not understand the risk they put their computers at when they leave adware like LifeSaver on. Third-party commercials always hold certain risks as they are never guaranteed to be reviewed or controlled by the publishers. Thus, criminals might pose as third parties, too. Clicking on their corrupted ads may have unfortunate consequences. And that is not even everything. Please read on to find out more about this infection. By the time you reach the end, you will understand why we suggest that you remove LifeSaver immediately. Read more »

MiniBar

Would you buy a car without checking it out first? Of course you would not. Then why would you treat MiniBar any differently? Some computer users install this program without looking into how it actually works, and these are the users that are trying to get rid of this suspicious program from their browsers. As a matter of fact, all problems associated with this potentially unwanted program stem from the lack of information regarding it. An official download page does not exist, and third parties responsible for its distribution are unlikely to provide you with important information either. This makes the PUP highly suspicious and unpredictable, and this is an important motive to remove MiniBar right away. Read more »

Searchonlinenow.net

Searchonlinenow.net

Searchonlinenow.net is a legitimate-looking search engine which users often find placed on their Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. People even decide to keep it in most cases because it does not differ much from other search providers and it allows them to search for the information in such categories as images, videos, news, and shopping. Even though it seems that it performs its main function (enable users to search for the information), we still cannot say that it is worth keeping this search provider. The main reason why we do not think it is completely safe is that this search engine provides users with the modified search results. In addition, it is often classified as a browser hijacker by many researchers. If you decide to set another homepage and search provider, you will have to delete Searchonlinenow.net browser hijacker completely. We suggest reading through this article if you do not know much about the Searchonlinenow.net removal. Read more »
