As you know, there are many unreliable programs that pretend to be extremely helpful and trustworthy. KeyStream is not the most dangerous threat that could take over, but it is a threat nonetheless. Of course, most users identify it as a beneficial shopping assistant that can deliver reliable discounts when visiting online shopping sites. Even though it is possible that this suspicious program will show real shopping deals, it is also possible that it will introduce you to fictitious deals and unreliable sponsored links. Needless to say, trusting this ad-supported program might be quite risky, which is why most users remove KeyStream. Those who keep this program on their operating systems usually do not understand the risks that are involved. If you want to learn more about this, please read this report. Read more »

Coupon Samurai
What do you expect from Coupon Samurai? Do you expect that this program will scan the World Wide Web and introduce you to the best deals based on what you are looking at? Well, sorry to disappoint you, but this program is unlikely to serve you in a beneficial manner. After all, it is just an advertisement-supported program that is used as a tool to deliver advertisements. Even if you see discounts, they are representing web stores or third-party sites, which means that these discounts are an advertising tool. This kind of promotion is not necessarily malicious, but we advise deleting Coupon Samurai because this program could be exploited. In the worst case, it could be used to exploit you, which is something we want to protect you from. Continue reading to learn more about this. Read more »
Saleslider
Saleslider is similar to a number of recently launched adware applications. We can name Ninja Savings and Majestic Coupons as almost identical programs, and all of them are owned and licensed by Engaging Apps. Names of these applications suggest that they present themselves as tools that should help you find discounts while you shop online. You may encounter various coupons if you keep using Saleslider, but the program is also involved in some suspicious activity as it monitors your browsing activity and sends the gathered information to its business partners. We think that safety of your information is very important, so you should remove the adware program. Read more »
Websearch.searchouse.info
Websearch.searchouse.info might replace your homepage and search engine one day. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com have found that this is usually done without a user’s permission. Of course, if your system is protected, browser hijackers will not be able to slither onto your computer; however, if you have already noticed the presence of Websearch.searchouse.info, it means that your system is completely unprotected. Of course, there is a possibility that you have a security tool installed, but it is useless. Either way, we suggest that you get rid of Websearch.searchouse.info as soon as possible because this search engine cannot be called “trustworthy”. In addition, there is a risk that it will put your system in danger. Read more »
Viceice.com
Your virtual security can be targeted by thousands of different threats, and Viceice.com might be the next one in line. Although this search tool is not recognized as a serious threat, it was found that it is unreliable. As a matter of fact, there is a possibility that this search tool will open up security backdoors that other unreliable parties could use. Unfortunately, there is no way of denying this possibility since the search tool does not provide any information about itself. In most cases, you can at least research a Privacy Policy, End User License Agreement, or some other document. In this case, you are provided with a contact form, but this is not enough. Removing Viceice.com might seem like a complicated or even an unnecessary task, but you might change your mind about this after reading our report. Read more »
Harvest Savings
Harvest Savings applies the “name says it all” trick to make you believe that with this application you will save money while shopping online – and that could not be further from the truth. Although this browser extension offers coupon alerts, instead of saving you money, it makes easy money for its developers through the third-party ads it floods your screen with. Of course, these ads are not without risk since clicking on them might take you to unsafe websites where you might be exposed to unreliable content. Based on its functionality and behavior, our malware researchers have categorized this application as an adware program. It is quite likely that you did not download it as a standalone app, which can only mean one thing – there may be other infections on your computer as well. You should remove Harvest Savings as soon as you can, because its presence might create chaos in your system security. Read more »
Ninja Savings
Ninja Savings is a soon-to-be-released adware program that will surely cause you a lot of inconvenience by bombarding your browser screen with loads of ads. Removing this application is indeed a wise move, because even its developers cannot vouch for the content that this program promotes. Ninja Savings only provides third-party advertisers with a platform to display ads, and its developers are not responsible for the content that actually appears on your screen. This is problematic, because certain ads can be misleading and you might end up downloading unreliable software. Whatever the case may be, you should not take this adware at face value, even though its promotional campaign may be somewhat appealing. Read more »
Surf Safer
If you would like to surf the web more safely, you might find Surf Safer to be a good solution for warning you before visiting unsafe websites; however, we would advise you not to download this application. As a matter of fact, you currently cannot even download it from its website. However, if you already have it on your computer, it is possible that you have been infected with it and you do not even know you have installed it. In that case, it is quite likely that there are other infections on-board as well. This application is, in fact, an adware program that can display a great variety of third-party advertisements on your computer screen. Are you bothered by pop-ups and other ads? Let us tell you that they are not simply annoying, they can also mean harm to your virtual security once you click on them. Even though it seems that this adware only “entertains” American users with its ads, no matter where you are located this adware can collect personally identifiable information about you. It is important that you delete Surf Safer if you intend to keep your computer safe. Read more »
TopShape.me
TopShape.me says it will help to keep your computer stable and secure, but you should not believe such promises. We think that it is unlikely that the program promoted as a software updater will do everything it says. In any case, the pros of this program would not outweigh its cons. TopShape.me is an adware program that shows you annoying commercial pop-ups. The program spies on you via cookies, and even connects to the Internet without your permission. This is probably done to transfer data this program has collected about you to third parties, so prevent the possible unwanted consequences and delete the application. Read more »
RotaryMasteRs
RotaryMasteRs is not the program which you should keep installed. There is one main reason why we do not recommend doing that – this program is an advertising-supported application. If you have ever encountered adware, especially the one based on the JustPlugIt engine, you will definitely know what to expect from it. Yes, all adware programs are rather annoying because they generate commercials continuously. Advertisements themselves are rather intrusive. Luckily, you can stop them from appearing on your screen by erasing the adware program that is responsible for their appearance. If you do not even know how to remove this program, you have to read through this article. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com are ready to help you eliminate all kinds of suspicious applications. Read more »
