Video Box Ads

Video Box Ads

Video Box Ads are irritating commercial advertisements coming from an application VideoBox. It works as a tool for downloading videos from popular third-party websites, so users see these irritating ads only when they use the service it provides. Although the program displaying commercial advertisements on users’ Desktops works in a useful way, it, unfortunately, cannot be called a fully trustworthy application for downloading content from third-party pages. The presence of Video Box Ads should be blamed for this. It is not likely at all that it is going to change, so you will be forced to solve a real dilemma about whether to delete this piece of software from the system or not. Keeping it will allow you to easily download videos from the web, but, on the other hand, this means that Video Box Ads will show up on your computer’s screen every day. These ads should not be called malicious. Instead, specialists refer to them as “potentially dangerous.” As you could have understood, researchers have a negative opinion about ads Video Box displays. Read more »

Tlerauic

If you noticed an application called Tlerauic installed, it means your computer might be used for click fraud; a type of fraud that takes place on the Internet in an online advertising model known as pay-per-click. Typically, the website’s owner who promotes such advertising gets paid for each click made by a unique visitor, but programs like Tlerauic can simulate such actions and make it look like the ad was reviewed by the user when in fact the click is made by the application. Under such circumstances, our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com decided to classify the software as adware. If you do not want to allow this threat to continue using your computer for click fraud, we advise you to eliminate it without any hesitation. To guide you in this process we are adding instructions showing how to get rid of the adware at the end of the text. Read more »

Search Anonymo

Search Anonymo is a browser extension for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. As information on its official sources tells us, it should make it possible to perform web searches anonymously. While ordinary search providers often track personally-identifiable information and a user’s search history, Search Anonymo promises not to store a single detail about users. Judging from a number of users who have already downloaded this extension from the Chrome Web Store, it is not very popular yet, but the situation might quickly change, of course. Do not install it if you have not done that yet because Search Anonymo is not a piece of software that can be fully trusted. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com cannot confirm or deny whether it allows users to surf the web anonymously or not, but they are sure that Search Anonymo applies changes which many users might find unwanted, and it might even display commercial advertisements for users. These are two main reasons why this browser extension should be removed from the system. Read more »

Beansplayer

Beansplayer is a name of an application promoted as a beneficial media player. Like other media players, it should play media files users have on their computers, but, as many users find out after using it several times, it is far from those beneficial media players available on the market today. Its main drawback is that it does not work the way it should, so you will, without a doubt, not regret uninstalling this application from your computer. Since Beansplayer is far from trustworthy media players, specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have decided to put it into the category of potentially unwanted software. Potentially unwanted programs are, of course, not as harmful as other malicious programs, e.g. Trojans, ransomware, backdoors, etc., we get to analyze from time to time, but there is no point in keeping them installed too, especially, as in the case of Beansplayer, they do not act the way they should.
