Search.searchdirex.com
If you think that Search.searchdirex.com is a reliable search engine, then you are in for a surprise and an unpleasant one at that. We have classified it as a browser hijacker and recommend that you remove it from your computer as soon as possible. It falls into the category of browser hijackers because its developers have decided to distribute it using deceptive tactics that involve installing it on your browser without your permission. Furthermore, we think that this hijacker should show modified search results featuring promotional links. The problem is, however, that its promotional campaign can subject you to unreliable websites, so you should refrain from using Search.searchdirex.com’s search box. ...

PC Reg Boost
If you got PC Reg Boost on your PC and you have had enough of its annoying pop-up messages, then you should remove it and be done with it. We have tested it and have come to the conclusion that it is rather useless. We classified it as a potentially unwanted application because it does not do anything particularly useful and it is more of a promotional tool because its pop-ups were configured to promote a certain tech support phone number. This program is similar to the likes of Zolta Registry Cleaner, Win Tune Pro, and Clean PC Master in that it performs a minor action for which you are expected to buy it even though its performance leaves much to be desired. ...
Privacy Search Plus
Why did you install Privacy Search Plus? Were you intrigued by the services of this potentially unwanted program (PUP)? The official download page does not tell much about the app (“You should feel confident knowing that what you are searching for is NOT being tracked”), and so it is unlikely that many users will rush to acquire it. However, a third-party installer might propose a more attractive description. If you have no clue where this PUP has come from, do not rush to accuse it of illegal entrance. Maybe you accepted its installation without even realizing it when interacting with a bundled installer? ...
Fastoplayer Ads
Fastoplayer Ads is not a program that you can trust entirely. While on its official website it is advertised as a video player that provide useful features such as the ability to download video files, you must know that in reality it has been dubbed as an adware program. Our researchers highly advise you to avoid this program if you ever happen to encounter it because it is known to act in an extremely intrusive manner. Like other adware applications that are active nowadays, it is fully capable of ruining your online experience with large quantities of unwanted third-party web content. ...
Salsa Ransomware
Salsa Ransomware is a malicious program that can slither onto your system without your knowledge and make irrevocable damage to your files by encrypting them. This new threat seems to be linked to last year's Razy Ransomware, which was also a major hit to victims. This particular ransomware could be a new record breaker since it tries its best to make itself understood with virtually anyone around the world; its ransom note is available in a mind-blowing 40 languages. Obviously, this severe threat is trying to target the computer users of the whole planet if the creators thought of such a spectrum. ...
Dimakadima.com
Dimakadima.com might be not the best choice for your default search provider if you are looking for a reliable tool you could trust. The reason our researchers believe it to be untrustworthy is the fact it collects results with altered yahoo.com variant. Because of this, the application might be able to place more content among the results that would not normally be there if you were using the original Yahoo search engine. The material we are talking about could be third-party pop-ups, sponsored links, banners, and other advertisements. Such ads might be clickable, and some of them may lead the user to malicious web pages. ...
File Security Protected Ransomware
If your operating system is vulnerable, File Security Protected Ransomware might slither into your operating system without your notice. When this infection slithers in, it encrypts files using the AES-256 encryption algorithm. If it does that successfully, a ransom note is introduced to you demanding a payment of 0.02 Bitcoins. Although this ransom fee is not that big – if you compare it with infections that demand hundreds and even thousands of US Dollars – paying it is still risky. Our research team warns that you might lose money for nothing in return when you pay the ransom, and that is something to think about when deciding what to do. ...
Yoga New Tab
If you are thinking about obtaining a program entitled Yoga New Tab, you should know that it has been classified as one more potentially unwanted program that you should avoid. Such classification has been made after a careful examination which revealed invasive functionality. As it turns out this application can change your web browser's default settings without any authorization or notification. It could also prove to be the main reason behind an unusual amount of third-party web content presented to you while you are surfing the web. It goes without saying that all of this will make browsing the web an annoying and bothersome experience. ...
SearchesSpace.com
SearchesSpace.com is a search tool that can change your homepage on Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer web browsers. Since it can modify the settings on your browser, we classify it as a browser hijacker. Do not be fooled by the interface of this threat because it is quite deceiving. Just by glancing at this program, you might think that it offers regular search services. In reality, it only serves as a redirector and an advertising tool. When you enter keywords into the search dialog box, you will not be shown original search results as you might expect. ...
