Term Coach

Term Coach is an adware program from the Vitruvian family. Like its clones, it is promoted as a tool that provides relevant content to the text you have highlighted.

The goal is reached by displaying ads and trying to make you click on them. Thus, we classify the program as an adware application and suggest you to remove it from your system. Read more »

Mystart.dealwifi.com

If you have opened your browser and noticed Mystart.dealwifi.com immediately, there is basically no doubt that it has replaced your homepage and New Tab page. This usually happens when users download a program called DEALWifi. In most cases, they download this product of RAFO TECHNOLOGY INC. from its official website, but there is basically no doubt that this software can enter without a user’s direct permission too.

DEALWifi is no exception; it claims on its official website that it will enable you to enjoy free Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, it seems that its primary aim is to set Mystart.dealwifi.com, so you should not expect much from it. Read more »

Trojan.Lockscreen

If your system is not protected from malware enough, you might notice one day that Trojan.Lockscreen, which is a serious computer infection, has entered your system. Yes, it might sound unlikely that it is possible to notice when Trojan enters the system, but it is true. Users who have already encountered Trojan.Lockscreen claim that the first thing which signals that Trojan.Lockscreen is on your computer is the screen-sized warning message. It will lock your screen and you will not be able to access any of your programs or documents. In addition, your Task Manager will be blocked too. This is mainly done in order to convince you that there is something wrong with your system and, of course, not allow users to get rid of Trojan.Lockscreen easily. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com know how to eliminate this threat from the system. They are ready to share their knowledge with you. Read more »

Adware programs that are created on the JustPlugIt engine are very prevalent nowadays. JoyNShop is one of them and users often complain that it has entered their systems without their permission. It might really seem that JoyNShop has slithered onto your computer without permission because it travels bundled with other programs and enters the system together with them. Of course, users still can download it from untrustworthy websites themselves. The first symptom that this suspicious program has managed to enter your system is the presence of advertisements labeled “Ads by JoyNShop”, “Provided by JoyNShop”, or simply “by JoyNShop”. Of course, these ads can have other labels as well. If you have already detected this program on your system, we can almost guarantee that you want to erase it. This is a really wise decision! All the main reasons why it is necessary to do that will be listed in this article. Read more »
