FamilyFurther

Although FamilyFurther provides some tips and articles on family topics, every user should be aware that it could also gather information about you and share it with any interested party. This means that your private information could be sold to third-party partners and used for marketing purposes. If you do not like this idea, we would advise you to remove the program from your computer as soon as possible. We doubt that any user would want to keep it in their system because it falls under the category of adware, meaning, it will show you ads on a regular basis. The good news is that the deletion part is not very complicated, and if you follow our recommended steps provided below the text, you should erase FamilyFurther with no difficulties. Read more »

Wallpapers Toolbar

Finding new wallpapers and personalizing your background might seem like a fun activity; however, we do not advise you using the recently created Wallpapers Toolbar. It has browser hijacker qualities as it forces you into using the ask.com search engine. Apparently, its main task is to promote ask.com, so it will not work as you would expect it. This application promises that you will be able to choose from a variety of free wallpapers, upload your own picture and make it as your wallpapers, check your local weather or email, too. However, do they not look like unnecessary tools to you? Obviously, you can make any picture of yours as a wallpaper if you right-click on it and select “set as a desktop background.” So why would anyone need to create or download some program for a simple task that can be easily done without it? This is not the only reason this toolbar looks suspicious. Read more »

Search.wowmusix.com

Search.wowmusix.com is a search engine which will replace your homepage and search engine on the Google Chrome browser after you install the extension called Search by WowMusix from the Chrome Web Store. The extension can be downloaded from its official website wowmusix.com as well. Unfortunately, many users believe that this extension is a really trustworthy one and install it on their browsers. The reason why so many users decide to do that is simple – it convinces gullible users that they will be able to play albums of all the favorite artists for free. We are in doubt that WowMusix will give you unlimited access to music; however, we are 100% sure that all the users who decide to add this extension will notice the presence of Search.wowmusix.com in the place of their default homepages and search engines.
