Search.searchlrom.com

People who find Search.searchlrom.com set on their browsers tend to believe that this website is a legitimate search provider. Consequently, they do not rush to eliminate it and set a new homepage and search tool. Specialists agree that Search.searchlrom.com looks just like any ordinary search engine; however, after looking deeper into it, they are sure that this website cannot be trusted despite the fact that it works as a search tool, i.e. shows Yahoo! search results. Actually, it has been created to work as a search engine consciously; however, it is clear that it is used by its author for monetization purposes, i.e. it promotes third-party websites and the developer gets money for that.

WinterWaldo

WinterWaldo

If you download WinterWaldo onto your Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser, you will see some changes. The extension modifies the New Tab to represent home.winterwaldo.com, and homepage and default search provider settings could be modified as well. Although the interface of the search engine looks completely normal, you should not classify it as a trustworthy search tool. Anti-Spyware-101.com malware researchers warn that interacting with this engine is not only useless but potentially risky as well. You probably have downloaded the extension because it promised access to online games. While it does that by displaying quick-access links to play.winterwaldo.com games, it also represents a suspicious search tool. Moreover, it silently collects information to help third-party advertisers to deliver more attractive offers. In fact, the suspicious add-on is classified as an advertising-supported program because it has been found injecting third-party ads. If you do not understand why this is a reason for deleting WinterWaldo, you should continue reading. We have also included a removal guide. Read more »

Addonsmash Ads

Addonsmash Ads are quite irritating commercial advertisements shown by software using the Addonsmash monetization tool. It is stated on an official website (addonsmash.com) of this tool that it is the “best monetization for browser extension, addons and toolbars,” so it is very likely that programs having browser extensions or toolbars are the main types of software that might use the service of this tool to generate revenue. This observation also suggests that there might be an untrustworthy application installed on your computer if advertisements having the Addonsmash Ads label keep appearing on the screen. There is a slight possibility that you might find ads shown by Addonsmash on third-party websites too, but it is still more likely that there is some kind of application installed on your computer if Addonsmash Ads are visible every day. It might not be easy to stop the flow of irritating advertisements because it is unclear what program is responsible for showing them on the screen. Even though it might be impossible to detect and remove the application displaying Addonsmash Ads manually, we know a method that might work in this case. Read this article to find out what we have in mind here. Read more »

SaferSearchResults.com

SaferSearchResults.com

SaferSearchResults.com is an official website of a browser extension Safer Search Results users tend to find in the list of extensions on Google Chrome. Also, SaferSearchResults.com might be found set as homepage and the New Tab page after the installation of this browser add-on. It can be downloaded from two different sources: SaferSearchResults.com and the Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/safer-search-results/begnofcbcefcedmomgdlmgcpmjafablp?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog). Even though it appears on the Chrome Web Store, it does not mean that this piece of software is a product associated with this browser or its creator. Unfortunately, many people do not know that, and they believe that the SaferSearchResults.com extension is beneficial and safe to use. To be frank, it is not exactly true. Yes, it promises to “protect your computer from harmful search results” by placing the green check mark next to good search results and the red one next to those that are not safe; however, it does not mean that this browser extension cannot act in an undesirable way itself. Continue reading this article and come up to a decision to keep it or not installed on PC yourself.

Thedon78@mail.com Ransomware

Thedon78@mail.com Ransomware

If you find all files, except those having the .exe filename extension, encrypted on your computer, it means that Thedon78@mail.com Ransomware is inside the system. It is 100% true if these files which you cannot open have received a filename extension .Thedon78@mail.com. Some people call this ransomware infection FenixLocker, but specialists have decided to call it Thedon78@mail.com Ransomware due to the email address it uses and the extension it appends to files it encrypts. Even though this infection has a new name, it does not differ from older similar ransomware infections, e.g. Centrumfr@india.com Ransomware at all because it has also been created to lock users’ files and obtain money from them. If you are one of those users who have found all files locked, you should not worry too much because the decryption tool which can be freely downloaded from the web has been recently developed by specialists. Go to download it from the web but do not forget that the decryption of files will only be effective if you fully remove Thedon78@mail.com Ransomware. If you do not do that, you might accidentally launch the malicious file and thus get your files all encrypted one more time. We are sure you do not wish this to happen again, so we have asked our specialists to help you get rid of this threat.

SystemKeeperPro

SystemKeeperPro

SystemKeeperPro is not an ideal PC optimization tool even though it is promoted as an “ultimate tool” that can automatically fix system errors, clean PC, and optimize system settings on its official website. Researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com have tested this application thoroughly and found that it is definitely not a harmful malicious application, but they have still decided to classify it as a potentially unwanted program because several disturbing findings have been made. The major drawback and, probably, the main reason why it has been put into this category is its unfair distribution. It has been found that this program might enter systems bundled with different applications, so it is not necessary to download and install it on the computer to have it. Many users also get disappointed when they find out that the free version of this application is not very useful. If you are one of many too, go to uninstall SystemKeeperPro from your computer. Luckily, this will be an easy task because it does not make any changes on the computer that would be impossible to undo by uninstalling it through Control Panel. Read more »
