OnlineWorkSuite Toolbar is an application/extension that was developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. If you are not familiar with this company, we can inform you that it has released hundreds of identical-looking toolbars that simply promote links to different websites. Some of these toolbars include DirectionsOnline Toolbar, LiveRadioSweeper Toolbar, and OnlineMapSearch Toolbar. You can guess what kinds of links these apps promote just by looking at their names. This new toolbar is a little different because it does not use a toolbar per se. Instead, it showcases different tools by ZOHO in the middle of its interface. The toolbar is represented via the New Tab, and you might acquire it via the official website (onlineworksuite.com), the Chrome web store (nibodimenmckijbclhebhjempfbfaphm is the app ID), or a third-party source. Whatever the case might be, you should consider deleting it. If you are not sure if that is what you should do as well, you need to read this report. Once you know all the facts, you can decide for yourself if you want to remove OnlineWorkSuite Toolbar. Read more »

ScreenUp is a suspicious program that is meant to help you capture screenshots. Although it works, that does not mean that trusting this program is a good idea. On the contrary, it is far too unpredictable and suspicious to trust, and Anti-Spyware-101.com research team strongly recommends considering its elimination. At the time of research, the official installer that should be represented at screenup.ru did not work; however, the program was spreading. What does that mean? That means that it is quite likely to be spread by third-party software distributors. Is that dangerous? It sure is, and you have to note that malicious distributors are often using attractive programs like this one to conceal or push users into installing much more unreliable and malicious infections. Though we advise removing ScreenUp, much more malicious threats might be active, and that is an important thing to consider. To learn more about why the app is classified as a PUP, and why you should delete it, please continue reading the report. Read more »
