Pc Opticlean appears to be a potentially unwanted program (PUP), so if you thought it to be a reliable piece of software, you should read our report and get to know it better. Our researchers say it has both annoying and suspicious qualities.

Search.flagbeg.com is an undesirable search tool that might affect all browsers on your MAC computer. If you are sure you have nothing to do with its appearance on your web browsers, the chances are high that some kind of untrustworthy program, for example, a potentially unwanted program or an ad-supported application has been installed on your computer without your knowledge. If it turns out that it is the exact reason Search.flagbeg.com opens for you when you launch your web browser, you need to find and delete that undesirable program from your computer right away to eliminate the search tool set.

We do not say that this tool is extremely harmful, but, unfortunately, we cannot confirm that it is fully trustworthy either, so if you still decide to use it as your default search provider, you should be careful with it.

PCEasyNow is yet another questionable PC optimizer software that could pose a threat to your system security instead of eliminating it. Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com are not convinced that this new tool is any use to you if your objective is to secure your computer and keep it healthy. Therefore, it has been labeled as a potentially unwanted program, or PUP in short. This PUP was created by Speedy HLDGS Limited Co., a Hong Kong based company. We have seen loads of similar optimizers and cleaners emerging in the past years, including Tweakerbit Registry Optimizer and Master Pc Cleaner. These programs usually use scare tactics in their free versions to push you to purchase the full version. This means that the scan results this PUP displays might be doctored and contain fake issues and errors just to trick you into believing that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of different level errors on your system to fix. We suggest that you should remove PCEasyNow right now. Read more »

Package Tracker Pro is a new questionable browser extension from the notorious Polarity family. This tool offers you the ability to "track all of your FedEx, UPS, and USPS packages" but our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this is just another potentially unwanted program (PUP) created by Polarity Technologies Ltd, which can also be labeled as a browser hijacker. In fact, this is not even a new tool since we have already seen its identical twin called Search.hfastpackagetracker.co. This family contains dozens of similar or identical clones. The main issue here is that this PUP promotes a questionable and potentially unreliable search engine that may expose you to potentially unreliable third-party ads and links through modified search results. We recommend that you remove Package Tracker Pro from your browsers to stop further infections from happening. Read more »
