VirusIt

VirusIt is a suspicious program to say the least. On its official website, this program is promoted as a tool that should improve your virtual security since it should allow you to scan your PC for various virtual threats right from your web browser.

MapsWorldSearch

MapsWorldSearch claims to be “a free application that lets you search maps.” Many users, especially those who travel a lot, think that this program is very trustworthy and beneficial; however, the only thing it will do is place a search.mapsworldsearch.com search engine shortcut on your desktop.

Is it worth keeping programs that do not do anything really beneficial and even might cause harm? We believe not, but it is up to you what to do with MapsWorldSearch. If you decide to get rid of it, read through this article and then use our manual removal instructions in order to do that. Read more »
