It is sure nice when a program has a beautiful name, but, unfortunately, the name does not make the program. At least not in the StarConcept’s case. This application is an adware program that will intervene with your web browsing habits and slow down your browser. StarConcept will spam you with annoying pop-ups that will only expose you to unreliable third-party content. Such behavior can lead to dangerous computer security problems, and any user would want to avoid that. All you have to do is remove StarConcept from the system right now, and then acquire an antispyware tool that will protect your PC from similar intruders.

While you are at it, you should also run a full system scan and see what other unwanted programs you have on-board. You think that there is only StarConcept ruining your day? Unfortunately, such adware applications always come bundled with additional programs. In fact, you must have installed some freeware app bundled with StarConcept yourself. All the programs from the Multiplug family are known to be distributed in software packages, and since StarConcept is just the newest addition to the group, it definitely follows the footsteps of its predecessors.

There are many programs that come from the same family, so we can expect StarConcept to behave just like AutoTinker, LockerTerminal, MetroCleaner, and so on. These programs are all based on the JustPlugIt engine, and they want to make you think that they can provide you with some useful function. Some promise to improve your browser’s functionality, some say that they can enhance your web surfing experience or even help you save money when you shop online. Needless to say, all these promises are nothing but lies, devised to push you into clicking the ads these programs display.

Now, as far as the ads are concerned, neither StarConcept nor any other application in the group tries to infect you with malware on purpose. In fact, the only reason this application is there is to make money via the pay-per-click system. Each time you click any of the StarConcept ads, you get redirected to an affiliated websites, and you increase its traffic count. Subsequently, the people behind this application generate profit. The problem is that sometimes the links embedded in the ads might lead to adware or malware-related websites. The adware application does not check whether these links in the ads lead you to, and it basically washes its hands clean of any unwanted consequences. All programs from this group claim that they are not responsible for the third-party content security.

As a result, you are left entirely on your own to deal with potential security issues. It should not be too hard if you remove StarConcept at once. Open Control Panel and delete this application manually and then get rid of the extension from your browser.

Have you noticed more unfamiliar applications in the list of installed programs? The chances are you have to terminate them too. If you are not sure whether the program in question is a potential security threat, scan your PC with the SpyHunter free scanner, and you will have your answer. Do not hesitate to invest in a powerful antispyware application if need be.
