Recipes By inMind is a “new” invention from Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc., which means that this browser extension may be just as unreliable as all the other members of this family. Therefore, our researchers have labeled it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This is not even a new creation since we have already seen RecipeSearch Toolbar and 100sOfRecipes Toolbar, which belong to the same family. However, this “newcomer” can only affect Google Chrome. Although this PUP is definitely not as dangerous as a Trojan horse, it might still pose a threat to your virtual security. If you would like to know how, please read on.

NetRadio seems to be a very useful program because it enables users to search for their favorite artists and then listen to the music. It says that it checks thousands of online radio stations in order to show you what is playing. If we believe the information provided on the official website of NetRadio, users themselves can “search for artists, song tiles, station names, shows, genres, and more…” The program advertised on netradioplayer.com really seems to be perfect; however, we do not think that you can trust it if it has entered your system without your permission or you have downloaded it from some kind of third-party website.

If you do not know how NetRadio has managed to enter your system, you should erase it and install a similar reliable program instead of it. Read more »
