ZenSearch

Even though ZenSearch does not look like a malicious program, Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers do not recommend trusting it. The application has been created to represent the associated search engine zensearch.com; however, it is far more intrusive than that. If you have downloaded the application onto your Google Chrome browser, you should be able to access the Permissions disclaimer. Open the extensions menu (chrome://extensions/), navigate to the suspicious extension, and click Permissions. The Current Permissions window will show up, and you will learn that ZenSearch not only can access your data on all websites, but also can manipulate privacy-related settings. Needless to say, this is the main reason why you need to remove ZenSearch from your operating system. It is also important to delete the search engine associated with this browser extension.

mySoftToday

MySoftToday has to be identified as an advertisement-supported program, not a helpful and reliable application.
