What does Note-Up do?

At first, you may enjoy the features that Note-Up offers to you. It is quite user-friendly and compact and promises to email you about every planned meeting you have in case you have forgotten about it. But you should know that your information is not as safe as it was before, as this application uses cookies, log files, and web beacons to gather data on how you browse the Web. According to Note-Up, it uses the gathered information to customize the advertising you see. So, this program is also capable of showing you advertisements. If you provide any personally identifiable information about yourself, the event reminder will also use it for advertising purposes. What’s more, all the information that this application has on you could always by shared with various third parties. Note-Up’s privacy policy says that those parties may use this information for “their own independent policies,” so your data would not be protected from any possible misuse.

This application could also be involved in some other shady activity. From time to time it downloads additional adware programs to your computer. So, if you have started to encounter annoying advertisements during your Web browsing sessions, the event reminder could be the one to blame for this.

Where does Note-Up come from?

The program can be obtained from its official page located at note-up.com. But the antimalware researchers working at Anti-spyware-101.com have discovered that this program could also be distributed in software bundles. Users have the ability to decline Note-Up, but usually miss it, and this allows us to name the event reminder as a potentially unwanted application. You should be very cautious every time you decide to get some free program anywhere on the Web, especially if it is placed on the free software download websites. Some of the programs in the same package with the program you download may be malicious, and only attentive users are capable of deselecting them during the installation process.

If you have decided that the event planner is not a program you need, regardless of the cost, then you should not postpone its removal. It will not take a lot of your time, as you just need to locate the application on your program list and then get rid of it. Follow our guide below and the entire process will require only a couple of clicks from you. After Note-Up is gone from your system, consider scanning your PC for the presence of additional unwanted and even harmful applications. It is better to use a legitimate antispyware scanner that will leave no invaders unnoticed.
