Middle Rush

Middle Rush

Middle Rush is not a unique program because it is a clone of a bunch of other programs, including Glass Bottle, On Stage, and Deals Avenue. This program is based on the Injekt engine and it belongs to the family of adware that is very similar to SuperWeb. Injekt-based adware programs are very similar to SuperWeb adware in a sense that there are a number of them published, their websites are based on the same template, and it is impossible to download them from their official websites. Finally, all these programs show commercial advertisements. Unfortunately, Middle Rush is not going to do anything else because it is known to be adware. It, of course, tries to convince users that it is going to do something else by saying that it will “put you in the fast lane”; however, we do not think that it is worth trusting and keeping Middle Rush installed.

Linux.Encoder.1 Assails Linux Web Servers

Instead of denying ads, pop-ups, and various coupons, it will present you with a large amount of them; thus, making your online experience an annoying and frustrating one. Unfortunately, a rather vast amount of users are tricked by the misleading marketing strategies into downloading and installing this worthless piece of software. Make sure to stay away from this ad-supported program at all times since it holds no valuable features whatsoever. Read more »

TranslateAsYouGo

TranslateAsYouGo

If you are browsing websites represented in foreign languages, TranslateAsYouGo might seem like a great tool. This Firefox extension is supposed to help you translate any word you are interested in, as well as provide you with a synonym for it. The problem is that this is not the only service that this program provides. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com research, this program also shows advertisements, which is why we classify it as an advertisement-supported program. Needless to say, a program as clandestine as this one is likely to be employed by suspicious advertisers, which is the first point of concern.

Targetop

Targetop

Targetop might seem to be a really useful application because it claims that it will inform users about sales and best deals available at online stores. Its slogan is “Get the best prices every day!”; however, our specialists do not think that it is as beneficial as it claims to be. The main reason why this program cannot be trusted fully is the fact that it is an advertising-supported application (adware). Yes, it is responsible for all these ads you see on your screen every day. Specialists have noticed that it shows ads with the help of extensions. These ads usually appear at different online stores like eBay, Amazon, BestBuy, and others. Some of these ads might seem decent because they advertise different products and services but, of course, this does not change the fact that you have to fully erase Targetop. Read more »
