Demoney might promise you will “start making a lot of money in no time” if you install it, but in reality what you may receive is nothing more than irritating third-party advertisements.

GifsGalore Toolbar

Also, it has been categorized as a potentially unwanted program, or PUP, so the chances are high that it will perform undesirable activities on your computer. If you are reading this article because you have already discovered GifsGalore Toolbar installed on your computer, our only recommendation for you is to delete this browser plugin and then install a new trustworthy application having similar features instead of it.

Keylogger.Revealer

Posted by on October 11, 2017 No comments

Originally, Keylogger.Revealer is a free monitoring tool developed by Logifox. It can be downloaded from https://www.logixoft.com/en-us/index by anyone. It is not harmful until cyber criminals modify it and use it for malicious purposes. Unfortunately, as specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have observed, more and more cyber criminals discover this piece of software and use it to spy on users. It is not so easy to find out about the presence of Keylogger.Revealer on the system because this keylogger does not open any window. Instead, it works silently in the background. Consequently, it takes time to detect it. We know one trick that will help you to detect this infection if it has already been uploaded onto the computer by cyber criminals – you should be able to find a new process, e.g., rvlkl.exe in Task Manager. Also, Keylogger.Revealer drops an executable file on the affected machine, but since Keylogger.Revealer is already 9 years old, and cyber criminals have modified it a number of times during this time, the malicious file belonging to this keylogger might be placed in any folder, so you might not even notice it at first. Either way, you cannot keep Keylogger.Revealer active on your PC because its presence can only bring privacy-related problems to you. Read more »

Fictitious security warnings have been on the rise recently, and one of them is the misleading Google Security Warning.

For example, they could trick you into sharing personal information that might include full name, credit card information, home address, telephone number, and so on.

A piece of software that goes by the name Text From PC Toolbar is not exactly beneficial although some users might find it quite useful. We say so because it only changes web browsers’ settings when it is installed on users’ computers. Yes, it does not do anything else. Specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that it should only change homepages on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. The new page it sets (Search.htextfrompc.co) looks like an ordinary search provider at first glance, but it is not exactly what it looks like. There are several reasons why specialists do not call it a fully reliable search tool – you can find all those reasons listed in the next paragraph, so read it if you want to find out how it acts, or you simply cannot understand why a legitimate-looking search tool has to be removed.

Posted by on October 9, 2017 No comments

Syamit is an untrustworthy browser extension you might be forced to install from http://edentulatecontrol.com/bn.php?. Also, it used to be available at the Chrome Web Store, so you could have downloaded it directly from there if you see it on the add-ons list.

Specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have confirmed that this extension cannot do anything good to users, and they have even placed it under the potentially unwanted software category because of activities it performs on users’ computers. We would lie if we said that potentially unwanted programs are as harmful as real malicious applications; however, it does not mean that they do not perform any undesirable activities and can be kept active. It will become clear what Syamit is capable of if you read the rest of this report. We hope that the information provided in the paragraphs that follow will convince you to delete Syamit. Read more »
