Webpageing.com is a search engine that our malware analysts have classified as a browser hijacker. Therefore, they advocate for its removal. It is malicious since it is bundled with malicious installers that inject it into a web browser and modify its settings. Thus, it forces people to use it for performing searches online. Apart from the unauthorized modifications to the web browsers, Webpageing.com will also show you commercial advertisements of unknown origin. So it is quite likely that at least some of them will be fake and malicious. Furthermore, this hijacker might gather information about you and use it for marketing purposes. So the sooner you delete it the better. Read more »

Qip.ru is a search engine which is closely associated with another legitimate application QIP IM. QIP IM itself is a good program that is available on welcome.qip.ru/im. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same about Qip.ru. No, it is not a very bad search engine; however, specialists still classify it as a potentially unwanted program for several reasons. If you do not like something about Qip.ru too, or feel that it has appeared on your Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox without your permission, you should remove Qip.ru immediately and set another reliable homepage and search engine. Unfortunately, you will not get rid of Qip.ru via Control Panel. In fact, it is not easy to remove Qip.ru from browsers, for example, Internet Explorer users will have to modify the system registry in order not to see Qip.ru anymore. We know that there are many less experienced users among our readers, so we will talk about the Qip.ru removal in a greater detail further in this article. Read more »

You may be lead to believe that E-Buyer is a shopping assistant that will help you save money by showing the best available deals. This is untrue, however, and we suggest removing it because it is nothing more than a low-grade ad-supported application. Its job is not to improve your online shopping experience, but make money for whoever owns it. We think that it is safe to say that this application is unreliable because the content it advertises may not always be legitimate because we d not know where its advertising partners come from. In fact, in the worst case scenario, your computer can become severely infected with Trojan-type malware. Please continue reading if you want to know more. Read more »

Dealnj advertises itself as a “light-weight browser extension” that finds the best deals and shows them for users when they shop at online stores. The program claims that it does that for only one reason – to save money for you; however, we do not think that it is true because ad-supported programs are primarily created to drive traffic to different web pages and generate money for the publisher. Dealnj supports newer versions of Windows OS and even MAC OS X, Linux, and Chrome OS. Therefore, we are sure that it is targeted at thousands of computer users. As Dealnj claims to be an amazing shopping helper, there are many users who download and install this piece of software because they believe its promises blindly. Of course, Dealnj might enter systems without asking permission as well. Either way, it would be best to remove Dealnj from the system. Luckily, Dealnj will disappear from your PC after you find and eliminate all the extensions it adds to the browsers. Before you do that, read through this article. Read more »

Search.myrecipesxp.com is a questionable search engine that will be visible on all your browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox after you install the extension from myrecipesxp.com. Of course, this extension might be distributed in a different way as well. At first glance, Search.myrecipesxp.com does not seem to be a bad search engine. Actually, we cannot call it extremely harmful too; however, we still believe that there is a risk that Search.myrecipesxp.com will put your system into danger. Of course, this will happen only if you use this search engine to find the information on the web. Yes, Search.myrecipesxp.com will enable users to access different recipe websites and even allow them to check the weather forecast; however, in our opinion, it does not mean that it is a good idea to keep Search.myrecipesxp.com. As Search.myrecipesxp.com is closely associated with the My Recipes XP extension, the only way to get rid of it is to remove that extension completely. Read more »

Search.searchfmn.com is a search engine that is promoted by the Fast Maps Now extension, so users only notice its presence after they click on the Install button available on fastmapsnow.com. It is the Click to Install-type button, and it will download and install the extension for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Google Chrome users usually get the Fast Maps Now extension from the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fast-maps-now/loacbfmngkflichcfamfmfjcaidijofb?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog). Either way, we are sure that the extension is installed if you see the presence of Search.searchfmn.com. Research carried out by the specialists at anti-spyware-101.com has shown that Search.searchfmn.com is very prevalent in the United States. Of course, it is spread in other countries as well, so there are no users who can be sure that Search.searchfmn.com will not replace their homepages and search engines one day. Read more »

As this program’s name suggests EasyHomeDecorating Toolbar is a toolbar, but not just any toolbar — it is a malicious one. For this reason, we highly recommend that you remove it from your computer. Its shady developer distributes it using rather deceptive methods taking advantage of the legal framework set for distributing bundled software. Furthermore, we must say that this application only exists for one purpose — advertising. Online advertising is a profitable business, and our researchers have found that it is indeed very unreliable because its ads come from unknown third-parties, and this spells trouble for its user base. Please continue reading if you want to learn more about EasyHomeDecorating. Read more »

Your IE, Chrome, or Firefox homepage can be modified by Search.myshoppingxp.com with and without your permission. This factor alone provides a lot of information about this strange search tool. Was it installed without your permission? If it was, you can call it a hijacker without any doubt. Well, should you classify it as a hijacker if you let it in yourself? According to our Anti-Spyware-101.com malware analysts, a search tool that can change browser settings when downloading third-party software can be identified as one. The thing is that most users do not desire to install this search tool, and they let it in by accident. If the hijacker has appeared after downloading software from myshoppingxp.com/Shopping?, it is most likely you did not realize that changes would be made to your browsers. All in all, regardless of how your browsers were hijacked, we can show you how to remove Search.myshoppingxp.com from your browsers. Read more »
