Discount Cow is a potentially unwanted application that we categorize as adware. This means that Discount Cow has been created with the intent to make easy money for its developers. Unlike rogue antispyware or ransomware applications, this adware program is not a malicious computer infection. Users agree to most of the things this program does, but they simply are not aware of that. It would be in your best interests to remove Discount Cow from your computer because you can never know what malicious third parties this application could be related to. Read more »

It is not difficult to find out if ShopForU has been installed onto your operating system. All you have to do is open the Control Panel, move to the “Uninstall a program” or “Add or Remove Programs” utilities, and find the entry for ShopForU. It should also be obvious that the program is active if you encounter suspicious banner advertisements shown with such tags as “By ShopForU” or “Powered by ShopForU.” You must delete the application from the computer because you do not want to see the online ads constantly interrupting your browsing, and you do not need the suspicious program assisting other unreliable programs that require removal as well. The truth is that even though the suspicious application works as an advertisement-supported program, it is primarily run as an adware helper. If you do not remove ShopForU, you will risk the integrity of your virtual security. Read more »

Most computer users will not know that they interact with Offers by Context when they click on ads presented alongside TornTV, Cinema-Plus, Matinooch, Lampy Lighty, Girafarri, and various other ad-supported programs (mostly from the SuperWeb family). The pop-ups and the banner advertisements that are provided via the remote adware server offers.bycontext.com are identified as Offers by Context. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com adware (advertisement-supported software) researchers, not all adware servers are trustworthy, because they assist a large number of third parties. Unfortunately, you may want to remove Offers by Context as well, because it is unclear which companies and parties use the services of offers.bycontext.com. If you do not delete adware linked to these offers, you could put your own virtual security at risk. Read more »

SuperWeb LLC is a company that publishes different kinds of adware programs; the newest application is called Web Tripp. Even though it promises to enhance browsing experience and even help you to save money and time at different online stores, you should not keep it, because this program will bombard your screen with various commercial advertisements instead of acting in a beneficial way. Advertisements themselves are very intrusive and annoying, so it is not surprising that they might disrupt your browsing. In addition, they might lead you to potential threats. Therefore, if you want to avoid this contact with malware, you should delete Web Tripp as soon as possible. Read more »

Advertising-supported applications are very sneaky and they might enter the system very quickly. If you have already detected GetTheDiscount on your system, there is basically no doubt that you do not have any security tool installed on the system or it is ineffective. Either way, you should delete GetTheDiscount as soon as possible because this program is completely unreliable and it does not even matter that it promises to help you save money and time at such online stores as ebay.com, amazon.com, walmart.com, and others. It has been found out that GetTheDiscount is just a simple advertising-supported application; thus, it will just flood your screen with various commercial advertisements. In case you want to protect your PC from malware, you should definitely stop them from appearing. In order to do that, you will have to delete GetTheDiscount from the system. Read more »

Video Dimmer is an adware application that promises to provide you with a relevant and useful service. It says that it can improve your online video streaming experience by “dimming out” the lights. One would think that it is a rather interesting and dynamic function, but let’s not forget that most of the online players have a full view function which renders Video Dimmer’s service obsolete. On top of that, this application is associated with a variety of potential computer security issues, and you definitely cannot overlook that. The bottom line is that you have to remove Video Dimmer from your computer immediately. Read more »
