DailyWiki

Malware developers craft numerous intrusive and suspicious programs on a daily basis. Our research team has recently come across a program known as DailyWiki which has been classified as adware mostly because of the suspicious way that it works. Our reports exhibit the fact that a rather vast number of Internet users already have it up and running on their operating system. As it turns out, this is so because of this adware application might be marketed as a tool that you should run if you are keen on improving your online searchers.

Astro Find

Although the traffic of SuperWeb adware has decreased significantly, we continue finding infections that belong to this family. Astro Find is the newest find, and, to no one’s surprise, it acts just like its clones. Travel Output, Snapsearch, Super Great, and hundreds of other ad-supported programs are identical to this adware, and neither of them can be trusted. Because this family involves so many products, its creators no longer have the imagination for attractive names. It appears that they use whatever name comes to mind, and, truth be told, the name does not matter all that much. Since adware from the SuperWeb family is spread by third-party installers, many users do not even realize installing it. In other cases, this adware is introduced in a highly attractive manner. In either case, you must remove Astro Find. Read more »
