What is File Opener Pro?

File Opener Pro is an application that should allow you to choose software that can open the file extension you need. However, the program usually comes in software bundles or is received when people click on various advertisements. Therefore, we have to classify this program as a potentially unwanted application. There is something more suspicious related to this program: Its creator is responsible for adware applications, and File Opener Pro shows advertisements itself. Some of them may lead to the installation of additional, possibly unwanted, programs. You can prevent such a turn of events by removing the unreliable program from your computer.

Where does File Opener Pro come from?

There is an official site dedicated to this application located at fileopenerpro.com. It contains some useful documents related to the program and names Optimum Installer as a creator of this program but lacks a working download button. However, the Anti-spyware-101.com malware research team has discovered the presence of another webpage closely associated with this application. The website located at getdownloadpep.com even allows you to download File Opener Pro. But the second site names File Gorilla as a developer of the suspicious application and Pattern Canal as its publisher. This information is a little too contradictory to consider File Opener Pro a legitimate application.

Our researchers have also found that the potentially unwanted application can be placed in packages with other free programs. You should be aware that developers of harmful programs also tend to put them in software bundles, as it is quite an easy method to trick inexperienced users and make them receive those programs. So, if you are in need of some application from a free software download website, never go for the standard installation mode, as you will be unable to reject all the additionally offered programs. test test test

Sometimes people receive the potentially unwanted application when they click on advertisements that adware programs display. Those clicks may lead to the installation of various applications, including this potentially unwanted one. So, if you do not remember willingly installing this program, it is likely that some more suspicious applications are already present on your PC. You surely need to check your system and find them all. It is better to do this with a reliable antimalware scanner that will not only find all the possibly infectious applications but also eliminate them one by one.

How does File Opener Pro act?

You should enter the particular extension, and then this application would recommend to you a program that can open files with that extension. However, according to our security researchers, some of the recommended applications are quite unreliable. You should do a little research on each of the programs that File Opener Pro offers. You may also encounter various commercial advertisements by using the program any further. Optimum Installer is involved in the creation of adware programs, and maybe the actual purpose of File Opener Pro is to show you ads and promote the third-party services and products. Please note that clicking on some of the ads may result in the installation of some more potentially unwanted applications, such as ILivid Toolbar.

In any case, the useful features of File Opener Pro are limited to providing you with information on which tool you must choose to open one or another file extension. Do not keep the program any longer and remove it using the instructions you will find below.
