OKCashBackMall Threat Level: OKCashBackMall is a Threat

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

I’m sure OKCashBackMall is just trying to save me money and isn’t trying to steal my personal information or make money off redirecting my clicks.

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

Web-MediaPlayer Threat Level: Web-MediaPlayer is a Threat

Web-MediaPlayer screenshot Web-MediaPlayer is a media player that might drop a Trojan onto your system. You need to download Web-MediaPlayer like you need more spyware and adware on your computer.

Which is fitting, because that’s what Web-MediaPlayer does: if you download Web-MediaPlayer from Web-MediaPlayer.com, besides getting a visit from a backdoor Trojan, you may also get tons of Web-MediaPlayer popups.

ZangoSearch Threat Level: ZangoSearch is a minor threat

ZangoSearch is adware that watches your Internet Explorer windows. When ZangoSearch sees certain keywords in shopping pages or in your search, ZangoSearch launches its partner pages.

How thoughtful of ZangoSearch.

You’ll probably want to remove ZangoSearch, and be careful: ZangoSearch can repair itself if it’s only partially removed.

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.

And may popup its own Blubster Toolbar ads.

You can shut off Blubster Toolbar’s auto-updates with its drop-down menu. If you’re getting popup ads, I say send some hate e-mail to Blubster-Toolbar.com and remove Blubster Toolbar.
