Note-Up Removal Guide

Note-Up is the newest application developed by QUAHOG LIMITED. At first glance, this program seems to be really beneficial because it claims to be a “free event reminder”, which explains why it is so popular among the residents of the United States, France, Australia, United Kingdom, and Germany. Unfortunately, the majority of users who install Note-Up on their systems decide to remove Note-Up really soon or simply do not use it at all because it is not as useful as it claims to be. Specialists, including those working at 411-spyware.com, even classify this application as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). There are several reasons why this program falls into the category and you will know them all if you read this article from beginning to end. We also promise to provide more information on the removal of this piece of software for you.

You might not even know that a potentially unwanted program (PUP) is installed on the system for some time because they do not do anything very annoying; however, we are sure that more attentive users will definitely notice that a new directory called Note-UP is created in %APPDATA%, %PROGRAMFILES%, and %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%. If you tend to pay a visit to the system registry, you will also notice that new registry keys are created, for example, HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Note-up, HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\Add event reminder, and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\Add event reminder. Finally, it will create a Value with a name Note-up in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run in order to run on each Windows boot. This also means that this application will run in the background all the time despite the fact that you close it.

Even though Note-Up applies so many changes, we cannot say that this program acts in a very useful way. It has been observed that it does not email a reminder even if a user provides a correct email address. On top of that, it is not so easy to notice a window that should remind users about a particular event. What’s more, specialists have managed to find out that this application might also gather personal information, e.g. name, address, email address, and telephone number. Also, it will gather various non-personally identifiable details, for instance, the number of page views, link clicks, login times, and other information. It is also written in Privacy Policy and EULA documents that Note-Up might also allow advertising companies to display advertisements for users. In case you start seeing them, make sure that you ignore them all and do not click on any of those ads even though they look quite decent. As can be seen, this potentially unwanted program might perform a bunch of untrustworthy activities, so it would be best that you remove it and find another similar program. Of course, you have the final word here.

Note-Up advertises itself as an event planner and reminder on its official website note-up.com, so many users tend to download this application from there. Unfortunately, there are people who cannot even explain how this potentially unwanted program has slithered onto their computers. Therefore, we are sure that this application is spread in malicious software installers too.
