WebScan PRO
WebScan PRO could be a security tool that scans the web and defends you from malicious websites in a professional way, but let us hit you with the sad truth: This is just another useless adware application. As a matter of fact, it is a rather suspicious application since it does not even seem to have a promotional website. Yet it can turn up on your computer unexpectedly and start showing you best offers, coupons, and third-party pop-up advertisements depending on what site you are viewing. Many users think that these ads are totally innocent, but they could not be more wrong. ...
ForTheSchools
ForTheSchools has nothing to do with schools or education, although it is quite educational in a way as it teaches you to be more careful next time not to let a potentially harmful adware onto your operating system. This application has no other aim than to display third-party ads through coupons and pop-ups while you are trying to shop online. Your clicks are like crumbles of gold for the creators since they get paid after each click. Generating web traffic this way is not only specific to adware, browser hijackers usually do the same. As a matter of fact, all ad-supported programs have this same goal. ...
Canopus
Canopus is an ad-supported program that is quite difficult to remove. Unlike traditional adware programs that come as browser extensions or applications that run in the background, this one modifies DNS and Winsock settings to display the ads. It appears that this program’s developers had to resort to such measures because users are getting increasingly aware of the security threats that adware tends to pose and swiftly remove it. Canopus is no exception; its ads, too, can be unreliable and compromise your computer’s security. ...
PDFConverterHQ Toolbar

TheBrowser
After many years of browser wars, one browser has emerged victorious — it is called TheBrowser. TheBrowser is so good that it does not need an attractive name or so it seems. The reality is that this browser has been classified as a potentially unwanted program that you ought to remove. Like many browsers of its kind, this particular application is based on Google’s Chromium platform, so TheBrowser looks almost identical to Chrome. However, it is not reliable as Chrome. In fact, this browser is the opposite of reliable. It comes with an unreliable search engine that might subject you to potentially malicious content because it is unlikely that this program’s developers have any filters for that. Please read this description to find out more. ...
Allo-search.com
Allo-search.com is so much more than a search engine, but not in a good way. While researching this search engine we have found that it is nothing short of a browser hijacker, so removing it should be your top priority. It comes bundled with software developed by Development Media 73 and should automatically replace your browser’s homepage to its address while installing this company’s software.
