Music Remote

Music Remote is a browser add-on that is compatible with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. However, Google Chrome disables the browser add-on, and you have to click the Enable button to activate the program. Music Remote is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) because it is distributed alongside freeware, which means that it can be bundled with insecure programs, too. Even though the program offers quick access to online music, it is advisable to remove it from the browser. Extremely close attention should be paid to those instances when the program seems to have appeared out of the blue. If you do not remember installing Music Remote, the odds are that some other, most likely insecure, program is present on the computer. Read more »

Spyware Clear

You have to delete Spyware Clear from the system and leave all ideas about activating its full version behind. We advise the immediate removal of this application because it is a fake AV which will fool you about supposedly attacking infections just to get your money. Even though Spyware Clear is not as disruptive and powerful as other dangerous rogues we have reported in the past (e.g., Win 7 Antispyware 2014 or Vista Antivirus 2014), it may be just as misleading. If you do not remove Spyware Clear and instead trust the intimidating scanner reports, it is likely that you will be fooled into purchasing a completely worthless security tool which will only take up space on the system. What is more, if you leave your virtual security in the hands of this fake tool, it is possible that you will suffer real malware attacks. Read more »
