If you ever notice that Youfoundit.net has replaced your homepage and default search engine, you should know that it is very likely that a browser hijacker has managed to slither onto your computer. Browser hijackers hijack browsers the moment they enter systems, so it is basically impossible not to notice their presence. At first sight, it might seem that they set reliable homepages and search providers. Youfoundit.net seems to be completely decent too; however, you should still not trust it completely because it might show modified search results that can take you to unreliable websites. Read more »

According to our reports, many users have their operating system infected with it mostly because this program is promoted to be a great helper while you are shopping online. It should present numerous discount deals, coupons, and promotional codes which should help you save a significant amount of money.

Although the traffic of SuperWeb adware has decreased significantly, we continue finding infections that belong to this family. Astro Find is the newest find, and, to no one’s surprise, it acts just like its clones. Travel Output, Snapsearch, Super Great, and hundreds of other ad-supported programs are identical to this adware, and neither of them can be trusted. Because this family involves so many products, its creators no longer have the imagination for attractive names. It appears that they use whatever name comes to mind, and, truth be told, the name does not matter all that much. Since adware from the SuperWeb family is spread by third-party installers, many users do not even realize installing it. In other cases, this adware is introduced in a highly attractive manner. In either case, you must remove Astro Find. Read more »

GetitHD is an advertisement-supported program that lures users in with the so-called “Auto HD” function that supposedly can help you watch youtube.com videos in higher quality. Needless to say, this program does not work beneficially, and its promises are only meant to lure you in. If you continue reading this report, you will learn how to recognize malware in the future. Most importantly, you will learn how to delete GetitHD and the unreliable programs that are likely to travel bundled with this ad-supported program. Read more »

LifeSaver

LifeSaver will definitely not save your life in any sense, but it is more likely that it causes you virtual “heart attack” by its annoying and potentially harmful third-party advertisements. This browser add-on claims to help you save money; however, in reality, it only makes money for its publishers based on the pay-per-click system. Therefore, our malware researchers have categorized it as an adware program. A lot of users do not understand the risk they put their computers at when they leave adware like LifeSaver on. Third-party commercials always hold certain risks as they are never guaranteed to be reviewed or controlled by the publishers. Thus, criminals might pose as third parties, too. Clicking on their corrupted ads may have unfortunate consequences. And that is not even everything. Please read on to find out more about this infection. By the time you reach the end, you will understand why we suggest that you remove LifeSaver immediately. Read more »
