AccelerateTab is a Google Chrome browser extension users can install directly from the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/acceleratetab/jgjafhkemfjfgdmjcmhofijphjmaanak). If you have not done that yet, you should not install it on your computer. Yes, it is presented as a beneficial piece of software that lists all favorite websites in one place and enables users to access the Google search engine “without opening a new tab,” but it does not mean that it can be trusted fully, so we highly recommend that you install another browser extension instead. If you have already found AccelerateTab next to other active add-ons, disable it mercilessly because it has turned out that it is a potentially unwanted program, or PUP. This means that researchers have found something suspicious about it. On top of that, it might act in an undesirable way. The majority of users do not like that AccelerateTab changes their browsers’ settings. Specifically speaking, it sets a new homepage and New Tab. Luckily, this piece of software is not dangerous malware, so modifications it applies can be undone quite easily. Continue reading to find out how you can do that. Read more »

SlikDealer New Tab is not a new browser extension; in fact, it does not even seem to be active yet. Yet, our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com say that finding it in your Google Chrome browser could be a sign of other, more serious malware threats hiding on board. Since this search page tool does not mean direct threat to you or to your system, we have categorized it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Strangely enough, this PUP is not available for download on its own official webpage. You should know that it was created by First Offer (firstofferz.com), which seems to be a group specializing in online monetization. This obviously means that this search page is not really designed for your benefit but to promote third parties, who may not always be trustworthy. Although this Chrome browser extension features all kinds of coupons and links to coupon-related pages, it may expose you to unreliable third-party advertisements and links. It seems that this PUP targets the US market mainly. We recommend that you remove SlikDealer New Tab as soon as possible since it is a useless tool that may well be risky to use, too. Read more »

Potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) find their ways to the computer unnoticed. The filmsNet Search extension is yet another PUP, which you have most likely installed by accident, and, if you are wondering what to do next, continue reading to find our recommendations.

The filmsNet Search extension enables you to access free content which, in most cases, would be available at a certain price.

Such changes on the browser are usually not accepted by computer users, and, if you are also unsatisfied with this potentially unwanted program, do not hesitate to remove it from the browser.

If you ever find Win An Iphone X Advertisement claiming that you have a chance to get a brand new iPhone X “for your loyalty to our internet provider,” ignore it completely and dismiss it right away because it is nothing more than a fake advertisement. Specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that it is displayed to users seeking to get some personal details about them, so if you ever encounter it, close it without further consideration. If you see it just because you have opened http://polar.phonesecuritypro.com/ or got redirected to this domain against your will, you should be able to get rid of Win An Iphone X Advertisement by simply closing your web browser. Do not let it restore previously-visited websites! If you cannot get rid of this advertisement so easily, i.e. it reappears on your screen after some time, the reason you see this fake advertisement might be the successful entrance of malicious software. Specialists say that it might be some kind of untrustworthy program, e.g. adware that installs extensions on users’ web browsers. If Win An Iphone X Advertisement is displayed to you from time to time when you surf the Internet and you cannot get rid of it, you should go to reset the web browser you use to default. You will eliminate an untrustworthy browser extension if it has affected your browser by doing that. On top of that, it would be smart to check all installed programs. If you can locate suspicious/unknown applications, delete them all mercilessly. Read more »

Universal PC Mechanic might look like a useful computer optimization tool, but our security researchers claim that this is a potentially unwanted program that should be removed from your computer. It does not mean that the program is a direct security threat. In fact, it is far from a malicious infection. However, it is very unlikely that the application will live up to its promises because such programs often enter computers with the intention to make easy money. They want to gather your payments, and they do not care about the features the program is supposed to have. Read more »

Rescroller Extension is a suspicious browser extension categorized as a potentially unwanted program, or PUP. Users usually get it from http://jinlun007.com/cixv/?&from=media, which might appear as a pop-up.
