EverydayLookup Toolbar may seem useful for you if you want to look up phone numbers, addresses, and zip codes with the click of a button, but we must disappoint you – this is just another useless and potentially harmful toolbar coming from Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. This toolbar uses third-party services in order to provide you with the promised functionality; however, these may not be reliable at all times. There are several issues about this toolbar that make its presence on your computer undesirable. We do not think it is worth the risk to have this browser extension only to be exposed to potentially unsafe third-party websites. Removing EverydayLookup Toolbar is a must if you would like to keep your computer safe. For the whys and hows, please continue reading our article. Read more »

Search Armor
Search Armor is one of those programs which users install on their systems because they believe that it is very useful. Search Armor advertisers itself as a “browsing guardian”, so it is not surprising at all that many users download it and keep it on their systems. At first sight, this program really seems rather decent because it has a web page. Users can find some information about Search Armor on this website too. If we believe the information provided there, this application can protect Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox from unauthorized changes. In other words, it says that it will not allow unreliable software to change your homepage and search provider. In other words, it saves your preferred browser’s settings. It is unclear whether it really acts as it promises; however, there is no doubt that this program is going to show ads after you install it. As many users notice ads on their screens, Search Armor is classified as an advertising-supported application. Read more »
search.oursafesearch.com
search.oursafesearch.com is a search engine that might replace your homepage and search engine. In some cases, users agree with those changes themselves, but there are also many users’ complaints saying that all the changes have been made without a user’s permission. As this search engine installs itself silently in most cases and then replaces homepages and search engines without a user’s consent, it is often classified as a browser hijacker by many researchers. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com also consider search.oursafesearch.com a hijacker. They also think that you should not keep it and use it to find the necessary information. There is one simple reason for that - search.oursafesearch.com is not trustworthy and you might even cause harm to your system if you decide not to eliminate it. Read more »
Web Security App
Web Security App is promoted as a program that will guarantee your safety when you surf the Web. Each time you open a suspicious website, the program should inform you about it. But in reality, the program attacks you with advertisements each time you browse the Internet and, therefore, is classified as an adware application. Those ads are eating your system resources, and some of them may redirect you to unreliable websites. Therefore, removal of the adware program is the most rational decision. Read more »

CantMissCoupons
Remove CantMissCoupons as soon as you can if you have already detected this program on your system because it is known to be an advertising-supported application (adware). In other words, it shows various commercial advertisements (e.g. pop-ups, interstitial ads, video-targeted ads, etc.) only even if it promises to help you to save money at such online stores as Expedia, Walmart, Best Buy, eBay, Amazon, and others. Well, you might really notice that CantMissCoupons provides you with coupons and promotional codes. Some of them might work, but it is still very risky to click on them. The main reason why we do not recommend doing that is the fact that they can redirect you to untrustworthy websites. You might also end up on the website that looks like a decent online store, but you will never receive your item after you pay money. Do not forget that it is possible to click on advertisements accidentally, which means that it is not enough to simply ignore them. According to the researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com, it would be best if you eliminate CantMissCoupons. It is the only way to stop ads from appearing. Read more »
Oasis Space
If you begin to see more and more advertisements labeled "Ads by Oasis Space" or "Provided by Oasis Space", there is a good chance your computer has been infected with Oasis Space. This application pretends to be a real tool that helps you “navigate through the web,” but according to our researchers it is simply a new SuperWeb-type adware program. This infection has no other function but to help its publisher gain easy money through the third-party advertising it spams your computer screen with. Having an ad-supported program, such as this, on your system may expose you to unwanted and unsafe website content. You should avoid clicking on any of the ads displayed by this adware at all costs, if you want to feel safe in your virtual realm. It is very important to know what you are up against if your PC has been infiltrated by such a useless but potentially unreliable application. You will see shortly that you will have no choice but to remove Oasis Space as soon as possible. Read more »
TwistTinker
TwistTinker is an adware program and as such it displays commercial advertisements. Some users may think that these ads can provide them with useful information and even help them purchase something at a lower price. Unfortunately, third-party ads promoted by adware programs are often embedded with outgoing links that lead to dangerous websites and further adware infections. Therefore, to protect your computer from potential harm, you should remove TwistTinker immediately. This program is not hard to terminate on your own; you simply need to uninstall it via Control Panel. However, keeping in mind that there might be more undesirable applications on-board, you should seriously consider scanning your PC with a licensed antispyware tool. Read more »
BrowserShield
BrowserShield says on its official website that it is 100% free and always up to date. On top of that, it says that it will not allow users to download malicious software. It is unclear whether it is really going to do that, but there is no doubt that this application is going to show commercial advertisements. BrowserShield does not try to hide the fact that it displays ads because it declares on its official web page that it is "ad-supported." You are the one who can decide whether to keep such a program installed on the system or not, but you should know that there are risks related to the ads it shows. There is also no doubt that all these commercials which it generates are very intrusive and annoying. On top of that, they can disrupt whatever activities you do on the web, e.g. shop online. If you do not want this to happen, you have to erase BrowserShield immediately. We hope that we will answer all your questions regarding the removal of this adware in this article. If not, feel free to contact us via the comment box placed below this article. Read more »
FutureGames
FutureGames could be an application that provides you with the latest online games, but, instead, this is just a simple, useless, ad-supported program. Although our malware specialists have noticed some relevance to games in the form of gaming website advertisements, this adware is bad news for you and your computer. It is very likely that you did not even install it, but it infiltrated your system in a freeware bundle. Therefore, it is quite possible that you already have several infections on your PC, attacking your system as you are reading these lines. If you fail to act in time, you might have to face even more security issues. Removing FutureGames is a good start if you want to restore the health of your Windows operating system. Read more »
