Hi-Lighter

Advertisers keep coming up with new ways to promote their offers, and Hi-Lighter, for example, shows ads when you highlight the words on any web page. Although this is an original way to showcase links and advertisements, we have seen many programs using the same advertising method, including HighlightSearches, Search Highlighter, and WordWizard. Needless to say, all of these programs are introduced as the best browsing tools, but Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers classify them as unreliable. If you download any of these programs onto your operating system, you can expect annoying pop-ups and suspicious ads to show up whenever you browse the web. Unfortunately, these ads might be not only annoying but also misleading, and this is why you should remove Hi-Lighter. Read more »

FreeMaps Toolbar

FreeMaps Toolbar could be a beneficial tool if it were a reliable application. Unfortunately, our researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com have classified it as a bad toolbar due to the questionable behavior it may exhibit. This browser extension is not the “sliced bread” of toolbars in any way, in fact, it is just a newcomer from the seemingly endlessly creative Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. who is responsible for the development of lots of ad-supported free toolbars. FreeMaps Toolbar should not be trusted and kept on your computer because you might be exposed to unreliable third-party advertisements and web content. That is why we suggest that you remove FreeMaps Toolbar from your PC. If you are a security-minded person, you should not leave any potential threat on your computer. The longer you keep such an application on-board, the more chance it has to introduce you to harmful content. Please read our whole article to find out more about this infection and how you can solve the issues emerging from its presence. Read more »

Shade Ransomware

Your personal files are very vulnerable if you do not protect them using an authentic security tool. If you do not, programs like Shade Ransomware could slither in and encrypt your files without any warning. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have tested this infection and found that it can target MP3, WMV, JPG, and other files that usually cannot be replaced. This is the main reason why this devious threat encrypts these files over, for example, replaceable system files. Fortunately, many users use online file storage or keep their files on external hard drives, in which case, the malicious ransomware is not as scary. In either case, you need to remove Shade Ransomware, and this is not that easy. Read more »
