You may think that trovigo.com is a browser hijacker because it can take over the home page and the default search provider of the popular web browsers; however, in reality it is just another potentially undesirable program (PUP).

Computer users want to remove trovigo.com from their browsers because they think that this search tool can enter uninvited. In fact, the search tool is presented as an optional addition, and you can refuse its installation if you want to. Read more »

RightCoupon

Even though RightCoupon can be downloaded from right-coupon.com, in most cases this application enters the computer silently, without the knowledge of its owner. Regardless of how the extension is installed onto Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome browsers, as soon as it is activated, it will release various online offers known as ‘Ads by RightCoupon’. If you have not installed the plugin yourself, you should check the browsers for the add-on as soon as you discover these advertisements. In some cases you may be unable to locate and remove RightCoupon because advertisements using this tag could be related to other browser extensions, like TrustedShopper. Please continue reading to learn how to locate and delete undesirable, potentially intrusive applications. Read more »

Crimsolite is not a beneficial browser extension. Even though on crimsolite.co the program is represented as an irreplaceable tool which is meant to improve the web and enhance your browsing experience, there is no doubt that plugin is not all that.

Hyves Toolbar

Hyves Toolbar is a browser plug-in that is supposed to provide you with an instant access to Hyvesgames website.

Consequently, it is highly recommended to remove Hyves Toolbar from your computer, because it could display a wide range of commercial advertisements that promote unreliable content. The plug-in is not a computer infection, but it still poses some security concerns one should not ignore. Read more »
