Are you looking for a legitimate file compressor? ZipperFile might seem like a good choice, but this is not a program we recommend installing or trusting. This potentially unwanted program is just as unreliable as its counterparts, Z-Zip and VAFCompressor. Although these programs have separate websites and they are introduced in different ways, they are identical, considering that they were created to show advertisements. We do not claim that these suspicious programs will not compress your files, but you must not ignore the fact that they can inject unpredictable advertisements. If you interacted with these ads carelessly, you could become a victim of schemers. Please continue reading to learn how to avoid this and how to remove ZipperFile. Read more »

You might think that installing Z-Zip was a good idea, but have you noticed that it does not actually work? This is because it does not function as a file archiver. Its developers promote it as one, but has more to do with online advertising than actually compressing and decompressing files. Its website states that “Z-Zip is the best alternative for decompressing your files.” However, our research says otherwise. Currently, there is no working sample of this program, but, regardless, it might still display commercial ads, among other things, on your computer’s screen. If you need more information about this archiver, than we kindly suggest reading this full article. Read more »

Miul Downloads is obviously a download manager as its name suggests, but what its name does not tell you, we are here to share with you. According to our research team, this application does not itself pose a threat to your computer, but, unfortunately, it has a capability to download malware programs onto your machine. What’s more, most of the time you will not find Miul Downloads as a standalone program as it tends to come with malware infections on-board.

Understanding these potential risks can help you make the right decision and protect your computer. We believe that the best solution for you would be to delete Miul Downloads and every other program that can be associated with it or pose a threat. Read more »
