DigitalChallenge is a real challenge for your system’s security if your computer has been infected with this adware application. This program has no benefit for you; in fact, by keeping it on your computer and clicking on the ads it keeps displaying on your screen, you practically finance potential criminals. But you also need to understand the risk in clicking on ads that perhaps cannot be trusted at all. Obviously, the ads will not have large red letters saying, “Please do not click; this is a scam!”, at least that is not very likely. If you remove DigitalChallenge, you substantially reduce the risk of getting exposed to cyber criminals. It is also important to keep all your programs and drivers updated, which can substantially lower your system’s vulnerability. Read more »

Sexy Tube Mode
Although users usually have the option to view videos in full-screen mode, programs like Sexy Tube Mode keep suggesting ways to enhance the experience. This program cannot make the quality of the video you want to watch better, but it has the “Lights off” function that should create a cinema-like experience. Lightscinema, Hitthelights, and TV Time are other programs that supposedly provide the same services. Even though it is unlikely that these programs were created by the same people, none of them are identified as reliable. We are sure that you are reading this report because you are interested in the removal of Sexy Tube Mode. The first section of this report explains why you should eliminate this application, and the last section provides the tips and tricks that you can use to succeed. Read more »
FirstOffer
FirstOffer, as you may guess, is an application that displays you coupons with best deals when you go shopping online. But do not rush to download this annoying program because, as a matter of fact, it is just another useless ad-supported program that is mainly beneficial for its creators. The truth is that you can never really trust third-party advertisements 100%, no matter in what form they appear on your screen; may be pop-up ads, banners, or coupons, to name a few. The ads are served from remote adware servers and might redirect you to potentially malicious websites. If FirstOffer is on your computer, it is also likely that there are other infections present as well. All in all, we recommend that you remove FirstOffer as soon as you can. Keeping it on your computer may not save you money, but it may put your virtual security at risk instead. Read more »
ExportApplicati
ExportApplicati is a misleading silly name for an adware application, because it has nothing to do with exporting. But we suggest that you export this application to the recycling bin, with the help of our removal guide, because its only objective is to show unreliable advertisements. This obnoxious browser extension is set to flood your computer’s screen with unasked-for commercial content that you definitely do not want to see. The promoted content, merchandise, and services are likely supplied by unreliable advertisers, so you should not click the ads. Furthermore, this adware can also gather information about your browsing for various purposes that we are going to discuss. So stay tuned if you want to learn more. Read more »
Critical Security Patch for Internet Explorer
Microsoft has released its new and improved web browser, Microsoft Edge, on July 29, 2015, but this web browser is currently compatible only with Windows 10. According to the latest data, around 50 million devices are now running this version of Windows. The rest of Windows users are stuck with the good old Internet Explorer and all its vulnerabilities. The latest of these vulnerabilities is known as known by the code name “CVE-2015-2502.” This vulnerability affects the most recent versions of the browser, starting with Internet Explorer 7 and including the most recent, Internet Explorer 11. As researchers at Bromium Labs have found, IE was the most vulnerable browser of 2014, and it is unlikely that this year’s title will go to any other of the popular web browsers. Vulnerability CVE-2015-2502 is proving that to be the case. Read more »
