Clean Browse

Clean Browse

Creators of adware applications try different ways to promote their products, and developers of Clean Browse plays the card of online safety. The program offers you protection against the latest threats, and this will cost you nothing as the application is free to use. But the Anti-spyware.101.com research team has decided to take a closer look at the program and found that it is a duplicate of Web Security App. The latter application was recently reviewed, and we came up with a conclusion that it should be removed. The same applies to Clean Browse as well. Read more »

Awesome Shoppers

Awesome Shoppers

Most computer users would not pass up an opportunity to save money, and Awesome Shoppers is one of the many programs that promise to help. This program was recently analyzed in our Anti-Spyware-101.com internal lab, and we have found that it is yet another advertisement-supported program that does not deserve your trust. Even if this program shows attractive coupons, deals, or discounts, it is possible that you would find better offers if you researched them yourself. After all, advertisement-supported programs are usually created to promote specific sites, services, and products, and you should not expect them to provide you with the best offers. We believe this is the first reason why you should remove Awesome Shoppers from your operating system. Read more »

SaleSale

SaleSale is a newly released program, and, judging by its name, you can probably guess that it is one of those annoying programs that do nothing. We recommend that you remove this program, because it has been set to show you potentially unreliable — and definitely irritating — advertisements. Apart from that, the application will use up your computer’s resources, which can obviously be put to better use. There is no reason why you should keep SaleSale, because it does not do anything that could benefit your browsing experience. Therefore, you should get rid of it in a timely manner. Read more »

Catered to You

Catered to You

Catered to You is an adware program that is based on the Injekt engine. Such applications as Magical Find, Gravity Space, and Sale Charger that are also based on the same engine were already examined by the research team of Anti-Spyware-101.com. All Injekt products are created solely for the purpose of meeting advertisement goals of the clients of that company. The same goes for Catered to You as the program will bring no benefits to you no matter how enticing its promises may look. The best you can do regarding this program is to remove it on the spot.

Funfeedr

Funfeedr

If Mozilla Firefox is your default browser, you might be affected by the Funfeedr adware extension sooner or later. This application is promoted as a useful Firefox that can improve your browser’s functionality and enhance your web browsing experience, but there is no proof that the application does that. In fact, this extension may expose you to unreliable third-party content, and that would eventually lead to various computer security problems. Thus, before any of that happens, you have to remove Funfeedr from your browser and then make sure you never install similar applications again. If you are not sure whether your computer is absolutely safe, get yourself a licensed antispyware tool and run a full system scan with it. Read more »

Search Armor

Search Armor

Search Armor is one of those programs which users install on their systems because they believe that it is very useful. Search Armor advertisers itself as a “browsing guardian”, so it is not surprising at all that many users download it and keep it on their systems. At first sight, this program really seems rather decent because it has a web page. Users can find some information about Search Armor on this website too. If we believe the information provided there, this application can protect Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox from unauthorized changes. In other words, it says that it will not allow unreliable software to change your homepage and search provider. In other words, it saves your preferred browser’s settings. It is unclear whether it really acts as it promises; however, there is no doubt that this program is going to show ads after you install it. As many users notice ads on their screens, Search Armor is classified as an advertising-supported application. Read more »

Web Security App

Web Security App

Web Security App is promoted as a program that will guarantee your safety when you surf the Web. Each time you open a suspicious website, the program should inform you about it. But in reality, the program attacks you with advertisements each time you browse the Internet and, therefore, is classified as an adware application. Those ads are eating your system resources, and some of them may redirect you to unreliable websites. Therefore, removal of the adware program is the most rational decision. Read more »

FixCleanRepair

FixCleanRepair

A lot of users experience that their computers keep slowing down with time and they start to search for applications, such as FixCleanRepair, in order to improve performance and protect their PC at the same time. However, our researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com have categorized this software as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This decision was due to certain factors regarding the behavior of this PUP. First, the free version can only report back errors, but for the fix you need to buy the full version. Second, the scan does not really reveal anything dangerous, that is, it seems that it only scans certain areas of your system that you could mostly perform using the built-in tools, such as the disk defragmenter. Third, this software can also start showing third-party ads, and, last but not least, it can also bring on-board a couple of malware infections. In order to get more details and find out why we suggest that you remove FixCleanRepair, please read on. Read more »

Webalta.ru

Webalta.ru

What would you do if your browsers were modified without your permission? You probably would try to fix the problem. Unfortunately, removing Webalta.ru from the browsers and the operating system requires time, knowledge, and skills. The problem is that many computer users give up thinking that nothing can be done. What is worse, users start trusting this infection and using it as a regular search tool. This is about the worst thing that you can do because any browser hijacker is an infection that can put your virtual security at serious risk. Because most hijackers are created to mimic reputable search tools, users often see no harm in using them, but that is not the case. Do you want to learn what kinds of problems you will risk facing if you do not eliminate this hijacker? If you do, continue reading. Read more »

OnePCOptimizer

OnePCOptimizer

OnePCOptimizer is a program that usually indicates the existence of other infections because, as research shows, it can be installed by malicious Trojans. This potentially unwanted program could also be installed onto your operating system bundled with third-party infections hidden behind a fake file updater, or you could download it from onepcoptimizer.com. Whichever backdoor this PUP has used to enter your operating system, there is no doubt that trusting it is a mistake. The main objective that the creators (Isecure Software LLC) of this program have is to get your money. They can achieve this in two ways: using misleading information on the official website and a supposedly helpful “toll-free” helpline. Obviously, we recommend removing OnePCOptimizer, and if you want to learn more, continue reading. Read more »
