WinSecurity Toolbar 2.1 Threat Level: WinSecurity Toolbar 2.1 is a Threat

WinSecurity Toolbar 2.1 is a Zlob.Trojan/Trojan Zlob toolbar that watches your web activity, sends this information back to its parent, and serves you popups and link ads. WinSecurity Toolbar 2.1 may also hijack your web pages, block your URL requests, and download more pests onto your computer. Signs of WinSecurity Toolbar 2.1 include wanting to throw your computer out of the window, a little yellow triangle with an exclamation mark (!) in the bottom right corner of your screen, and tons of bad porn downloaded onto your desktop.

Wait. There’s more.

During WinSecurity Toolbar 2.1’s limited-time offering, you’ll also have a difficult time manually removing WinSecurity Toolbar 2.1, as the adware toolbar will often regenerate.

OKCashBackMall is adware that might hijack your browser and redirect it to Jokcashbackmall.com or another related site.

Oh, yeah, I’m so sure. How considerate of OKCashBackMall to change my browser settings.

Celldorado Threat Level: Celldorado is a medium threat

Celldorado is a trojan that launches annoying popup ads on your computer and secretly download harmful files. Because Celldorado runs tons of popup ads, Celldorado really slows down your computer. Like Vundo, its father, Celldorado may secretly run on every Windows startup.

As much as I like Celldorado popups slowing down my system, I might just remove Celldorado.

NaviPromo Threat Level: NaviPromo is a Pest

NaviPromo is adware that tracks your browsing activity so it can drown you in NaviPromo popup and pop-under ads related to whatever you’re doing. NaviPromo installs itself with rootkit technology, making it hard to remove. I recommend you use an automatic NaviPromo remover (yeah, shameless plug, I know I am pimping one).

Or you could always throw your PC out the window.
