BocaEdit

Sometimes adware might spread accompanied with assistant applications that help to prolong the existence of the main adware program on your computer. Remove BocaEdit, one of such “helpers,” because it was developed with only one objective in mind, that is, to extend the active period of adware for as much as possible.

Websearch.searchitup.info

Websearch.searchitup.info

Websearch.searchitup.info is a lousy search engine. It is so useless that our malware researchers have doubts if the search engine was ever intended to work as a beneficial tool. Considering that the engine has hundreds of clones, including Websearch.searchitwell.info and Websearch.searcholic.info, it is likely that our Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers are not far from the truth. All of these search tools, commonly known as Websearch Hijackers, are identical, which raises suspicion. If a search tool was reliable and useful, there would not be hundreds of different versions of it released into the web. Of course, this is not the main reason to remove Websearch.searchitup.info from your operating system. The reasons are far more pressing, which is why we recommend reading this article. Read more »
