Do you want to browse recipes and also find advertisements? Most likely, you do not, but that is exactly what Damn Good Recipe Promos offers. This Google Chrome extension is meant to track your browsing activity and then provide you with relevant ads based on that. The problem is that the creator of the extension is not responsible for creating these ads. Instead, we are dealing with third-party advertisers. What is the big deal here? Well, unfortunately, we know very little about these third-party advertisers, and so it is very hard to say whether the advertisements shown by them can be trusted. This might be the main reason why Chrome users will choose to remove Damn Good Recipe Promos from their browsers. Do you want to delete this extension? If you do, we are prepared to show you the way. If you are not yet sure if that is the move you want to make, continue reading to learn more about this add-on, and then you will be able to make up your mind. Read more »

We have been seeing the term “single purpose extension” in the descriptions of many recent potentially unwanted programs, Rolling Search being one of them. This PUP belongs to the webcoapps family, along with Twisted Search, SearchZilla, Vista Search, Searchsio, and other “single purpose extensions.” What does that mean? That means that they were created for the sole purpose of providing Google Chrome users with a web search service. Unfortunately, although the creator had one job, it did not develop a search service that could aid anyone. Every single tool created by webcoapps redirects to Yahoo Search, where the results are modified to include sponsored links from third-party advertisers. This is why they are identified as PUPs and why we strongly advocate for deleting them. In this report, we focus on explaining how to delete Rolling Search, and so if that is what you are interested in, continue reading. Also, note that you can ask us questions in the comments section below. Our experienced Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers will get back to you ASAP. Read more »

So, you search the web. That is one the most basic actions one can take online. Although it is basic, tools like Get Search Plus keep suggesting that people can do it better. This suspicious extension is found at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-search-plus/eoccimmcpieheioihnpeedkkfonjojgi (Chrome Web Store) and hsearchplus.co, and it promises to help you “manage how you search” via your Google Chrome browser. This extension is meant to offer “quicklinks” to shopping and social networking websites as well as provide you with a “convenient” search service “powered by Yahoo.” If you are not familiar with search tools and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), the extension might sound pretty great. However, if you have some knowledge, the information that describes the extension should sound like a bunch of nonsense. Our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team can smile a PUP from a mile away, and we can assure you that that is what you are dealing with as well. As you might have gathered already, we suggest removing Get Search Plus. Read more »

Did you download Shipment Trackers onto your Google Chrome browser purposefully? If you did, you must have expected beneficial services. If you have no idea where this extension has come from, perhaps you recently downloaded something else, and the potentially unwanted program (PUP) came bundled with it? Of course, the extension works the same regardless of how you download it, but if you have let it in along with other unfamiliar pieces of software, it is crucial that you examine your operating system. We recommend doing that with the help of a trusted and a legitimate malware scanner. At the end of the day, even if you downloaded the PUP from shipmentrackers.com and the Chrome web store (the installer can be found at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/shipment-trackers/capblhlnijkiglhdacnlboimeikjnnig/), it is very odd. Do you know why you should delete Shipment Trackers? Continue reading, and you will find out. Read more »

Although it would seem that LiveStreamNewsToday Promos is a tool that delivers both live news and promotional offers, according to Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, this potentially unwanted program (PUP) is all about advertising. Of course, if you visit livestreamnewstoday.com, this source offers news. However, if you download the extension, you are introduced to advertisements from third parties. So, did you download this extension on purpose or by accident? In either case, it is meant to introduce you to third-party ads, and that is the main reason we recommend deleting LiveStreamNewsToday Promos. Why is that so? While online ads are not inherently dangerous or malicious, you have to be very selective about whose ads you interact with because some of them can be extremely misleading. We are not making any claims in regard to the potentially unwanted program discussed in this report, but if you are not enjoying anything else offered by the extension, there is no reason to keep it installed. We suggest removing it. Read more »

SearchZilla might be presented as a beneficial tool but it is just a potentially unwanted program. What does that mean? That means that this extension does not actually work in the most beneficial manner. According to our researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com, it cannot even be trusted with the most basic function, which is a web search. Although the PUP (potentially unwanted program) is introduced as a beneficial search tool, all it can do is show modified search results. Do not have the illusion that these results are somehow better. They are modified to show sponsored links and advertisements, for which the PUP’s developer is likely to earn money. Without a doubt, our recommendation is that you delete SearchZilla from your Google Chrome web browser, but if you have doubts about the removal, continue reading. We explain how the extension works and what kinds of issues you might face if you install and use it. Read more »
