Mystart.myoivu.com is a search engine which will replace your homepage if you install OIVU, which is known to be an image viewer. Many users download and install this program because it claims that it can open images very quickly, it supports 67 formats, and it is very user-friendly. Even though the program itself seems to be very useful, we do not think that Mystart.myoivu.com, which will be set as your homepage, can be fully trusted. In addition, you will not be able to change your homepage unless you remove OIVU. Actually, we suggest doing that as soon as possible because this search engine is not fully reliable and it might expose you to potential threats. You will know how to remove OIVU and get rid of Mystart.myoivu.com after reading this article, so make sure that you read it from beginning to end. Read more »

Phrase Professor is an advertising-supported application even if it claims that it can make searching and translating information you find online easy. According to the information our specialists have found on its official website phraseprofessor.com, Phrase Professor is free but it will show advertisements while you surf the Internet in order to enable the publisher to pay for servers and other expenses. It is unclear whether it is really the main reason why it displays advertisements; our specialists say that there is a possibility that the publisher of Phrase Professor simply wants to earn money. Unfortunately, Phrase Professor does not seem to be a fully trustworthy program, so we suggest that you remove it from your system. All the details regarding the removal of this program will be provided in this article, so make sure that you read through it. Read more »

If your system is not protected from malware enough, you might notice one day that Trojan.Lockscreen, which is a serious computer infection, has entered your system. Yes, it might sound unlikely that it is possible to notice when Trojan enters the system, but it is true. Users who have already encountered Trojan.Lockscreen claim that the first thing which signals that Trojan.Lockscreen is on your computer is the screen-sized warning message. It will lock your screen and you will not be able to access any of your programs or documents. In addition, your Task Manager will be blocked too. This is mainly done in order to convince you that there is something wrong with your system and, of course, not allow users to get rid of Trojan.Lockscreen easily. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com know how to eliminate this threat from the system. They are ready to share their knowledge with you. Read more »

Happy Cloud is a very cute name, which gives the impression that it is a professionally-made and innovative product by an up and coming software developer. You might think that this application provides cloud storage services, but it does not, because it is actually an adware program that you should remove. Our main arguments for getting rid of this application are that the ads are intrusive and very irritating and that they are apt to promote potentially unreliable third-party content.

Since this application is deceptive in nature, it would be appropriate to get rid of it as soon as the opportunity arises. But, before we get to that, you should get to know more about this program.

Adware programs that are created on the JustPlugIt engine are very prevalent nowadays. JoyNShop is one of them and users often complain that it has entered their systems without their permission. It might really seem that JoyNShop has slithered onto your computer without permission because it travels bundled with other programs and enters the system together with them. Of course, users still can download it from untrustworthy websites themselves. The first symptom that this suspicious program has managed to enter your system is the presence of advertisements labeled “Ads by JoyNShop”, “Provided by JoyNShop”, or simply “by JoyNShop”. Of course, these ads can have other labels as well. If you have already detected this program on your system, we can almost guarantee that you want to erase it. This is a really wise decision! All the main reasons why it is necessary to do that will be listed in this article. Read more »
