Popdown Steps is a suspicious application that pretends to make sure that no pop-up window will interfere with your surfing the Internet, but, instead, it may actually start displaying annoying third-party advertisements on your computer screen. These commercials are usually very distracting for most users, but they do not think these ads can also be harmful. Simply closing the pop-up ads will not stop the flow. The only thing you can do is to delete Popdown Steps from your computer if you want to avoid the potential risks. The presence of this adware application on your PC may also signal that there are other threats lurking around. ...
Recipes By inMind looks like a typical browser extension that offers a service, which is to provide you with food recipes. You might want to remove this extension, because it will not only provide you with food recipes, but also with third-party promotions of unknown nature. On top of that, this program will collect non-personal information about you in an effort to improve the software. It must be mentioned that this extension has been developed exclusively for Google Chrome, so users of other browsers can ignore this extension. ...
PCandMobileGames, as its name suggests, is an application that claims to recommend you the best games on your mobile and desktop, but the sad truth is that this is just a simple adware program trying to generate easy money for its publisher. It is quite possible that this adware simply appears on your computer and the only obvious sign will be that more and more third-party ads will fill your computer screen. These are not just very annoying, but they can also hold certain dangers for you and your virtual security. Since this application mostly travels with other malware infections, it is quite likely that your computer is already under attack by several threats. The more you wait to act, the more issues may emerge. ...
One could think that Best Online Deals is a program created to help you save money when they shop online. Alas, we have seen far too many similar applications to believe this trick. Please remove Best Online Deals from your computer, because the only reason this program enters your system is money. It will not help you save anything when you shop around. If anything, the application will only expose you to potential threats via third-party ad content, and then you will be forced to delete multiple dangerous programs from your computer. Prevent this from happening by dealing with this potential threat at once. ...
Online advertising is a lucrative business that is bound to attract shady elusive entities that are very irresponsible. For this reason we regard all ad-supported programs as malicious, and encourage users that they remove them. Zorable is a typical adware program that has been around for quite some time, but it managed to somehow stay under the radar. This program has been around as early as 2013, and we think that it might still be active. ...
As you might already have guessed from the name of this application, Free Video Downloader promises users that they will be able to download all of their favorite videos. The program claims to be supporting all the popular formats and should even allow users to preview every single video before downloading it. But it is highly unlikely that you will manage to download even a single video using this application. We must also say that it usually hides the way it comes into users’ devices. ...
Even though NowUSeeIt Player promises to help you find and watch online videos without a browser, this program does not work very well. This might have something to do with the fact that this application is new, but our researchers indicate that it is possible that this supposedly beneficial program was not created to be helpful at all. According to our research, the suspicious NowUSeeIt Player was created by Verti Technology Group, Inc., and this company admits working with third-party advertisers. ...
YourLocalLotto Toolbar is a browser extension from the Mindspark family that seems to have “gone into retirement” as the “late” official website informs the visitors. Still, it is possible that you may find this toolbar in your browsers. If you do not remember installing it, it is because YourLocalLotto Toolbar may have sneaked onto your computer together with other malware infections when you installed free software. Have you visited shareware or torrent websites recently? It is quite likely that this toolbar comes from such source. ...
We have recently stumbled upon a recently released program called Video Search Tools Plus. It is not the most reliable program so we suggest that you remove it after reading this short article. Video Search Tools Plus is not malicious and does not pose a threat to your computer’s security. However, the third-party website that is integrated in this program is unreliable, and we are going to talk about it a bit more in greater detail. The function proclaimed on this program’s website is not that impressive and we find it silly and useless. ...
Chimera Ransomware is another ransomware infection that usually enters systems without permission. If this ever happens to you too, there is no doubt that you will notice that because you will not be able to access any of your files. In addition, all your browsers will be opened and you will notice a message in English and German claiming that “You are victim of the Chimera malware. Your Private files are encrypted and can not be restored without a special key file.” Of course, Chimera Ransomware will ask you to pay money for that key, so it does not differ from previously published ransomware infections whose primary aim is to obtain money from users. ...
