Catered to You is an adware program that is based on the Injekt engine. Such applications as Magical Find, Gravity Space, and Sale Charger that are also based on the same engine were already examined by the research team of Anti-Spyware-101.com. All Injekt products are created solely for the purpose of meeting advertisement goals of the clients of that company. The same goes for Catered to You as the program will bring no benefits to you no matter how enticing its promises may look. The best you can do regarding this program is to remove it on the spot.

A potentially unwanted program, or PUP, is the kind of program that does not fulfill its promises. The suspicious search tool PlusNetwork.com is the reason we identify Video Search Tools Plus as a potentially unwanted program as well. Although this Chrome add-on should enhance your browsing experience by showing more video search results, it is not very beneficial, and it can install a suspicious search tool that we do not recommend trusting. This search tool can spy on you, record your browsing history, and inject advertisements. These are the main reasons we recommend deleting PlusNetwork.com and the suspicious browser extension associated with it. Luckily, one step is all that it takes to get rid of this undesirable software. Read more »

If Mozilla Firefox is your default browser, you might be affected by the Funfeedr adware extension sooner or later. This application is promoted as a useful Firefox that can improve your browser’s functionality and enhance your web browsing experience, but there is no proof that the application does that. In fact, this extension may expose you to unreliable third-party content, and that would eventually lead to various computer security problems. Thus, before any of that happens, you have to remove Funfeedr from your browser and then make sure you never install similar applications again. If you are not sure whether your computer is absolutely safe, get yourself a licensed antispyware tool and run a full system scan with it. Read more »

EverydayLookup Toolbar may seem useful for you if you want to look up phone numbers, addresses, and zip codes with the click of a button, but we must disappoint you – this is just another useless and potentially harmful toolbar coming from Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. This toolbar uses third-party services in order to provide you with the promised functionality; however, these may not be reliable at all times. There are several issues about this toolbar that make its presence on your computer undesirable. We do not think it is worth the risk to have this browser extension only to be exposed to potentially unsafe third-party websites. Removing EverydayLookup Toolbar is a must if you would like to keep your computer safe. For the whys and hows, please continue reading our article. Read more »

Search Armor is one of those programs which users install on their systems because they believe that it is very useful. Search Armor advertisers itself as a “browsing guardian”, so it is not surprising at all that many users download it and keep it on their systems. At first sight, this program really seems rather decent because it has a web page. Users can find some information about Search Armor on this website too. If we believe the information provided there, this application can protect Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox from unauthorized changes. In other words, it says that it will not allow unreliable software to change your homepage and search provider. In other words, it saves your preferred browser’s settings. It is unclear whether it really acts as it promises; however, there is no doubt that this program is going to show ads after you install it. As many users notice ads on their screens, Search Armor is classified as an advertising-supported application. Read more »

search.oursafesearch.com is a search engine that might replace your homepage and search engine. In some cases, users agree with those changes themselves, but there are also many users’ complaints saying that all the changes have been made without a user’s permission. As this search engine installs itself silently in most cases and then replaces homepages and search engines without a user’s consent, it is often classified as a browser hijacker by many researchers. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com also consider search.oursafesearch.com a hijacker. They also think that you should not keep it and use it to find the necessary information. There is one simple reason for that - search.oursafesearch.com is not trustworthy and you might even cause harm to your system if you decide not to eliminate it. Read more »

But in reality, the program attacks you with advertisements each time you browse the Internet and, therefore, is classified as an adware application. Those ads are eating your system resources, and some of them may redirect you to unreliable websites. Therefore, removal of the adware program is the most rational decision. Read more »

A lot of users experience that their computers keep slowing down with time and they start to search for applications, such as FixCleanRepair, in order to improve performance and protect their PC at the same time. However, our researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com have categorized this software as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This decision was due to certain factors regarding the behavior of this PUP. First, the free version can only report back errors, but for the fix you need to buy the full version. Second, the scan does not really reveal anything dangerous, that is, it seems that it only scans certain areas of your system that you could mostly perform using the built-in tools, such as the disk defragmenter. Third, this software can also start showing third-party ads, and, last but not least, it can also bring on-board a couple of malware infections. In order to get more details and find out why we suggest that you remove FixCleanRepair, please read on. Read more »

There are hundreds of tools which claim that they can convert files. SimpleMediaConverter is one of them. The program says that it can convert different audio and video files. Information provided on its official website says that SimpleMediaConverter can convert files into .flac, .mp2, .wma, .wav, .m4a, and .mp3 formats. On top of that, it enables users to manage their files more easily. Finally, the publisher tries to convince users that it is very easy to use SimpleMediaConverter. As can be seen, SimpleMediaConverter is a powerful and beneficial program, so it is nothing surprising at all that many users download and install this application from its official website simplemediaconverter.com. Unfortunately, the free version of this program is rather annoying, so if you have downloaded and installed this particular version, it is likely that you will delete it from your system very soon.
