GoldenCoupon
You may assume that GoldenCoupon is an application that can provide you coupons and “golden” deals while you are shopping online, but, unfortunately, it is merely a new member of the Multiplug adware family. This application may sneak onto your system and start displaying annoying advertisements. Most people consider this rather disruptive and try to close at least those ads that appear in pop-up windows. However, you need to understand that this is no way to get rid of an ad-supported program. ...
PC Privacy Dock
PC Privacy Dock is a program that supposedly can remove files that are “clogging and crowding your hard drive.” Our malware researchers have found that this beneficial-looking tool is just another PUP (potentially unwanted program). On top of that, it functions in the same way that PC Cleaner Pro and Optimizer Pro do, which suggests that these programs might have been created by the same company. Unfortunately, these programs do not fulfill their promises, which is why our researchers also identify them as fictitious system optimization software. The creators of this software promise beneficial services to trick users into installing it; however, once installed, they push users to pay money and contact remote technicians. ...
RadPlayer
If you have noticed an unusual amount of unwanted third-party web content while browsing the web, it might be because an adware program known as RadPlayer is up and fully running on your operating system. In such a case, every security-conscious user should not hesitate and take immediate measure to remove this adware from their operating system. During the research, it has been found out that in quite a few cases this ad-supported program is promoted in a misleading way, to say the least. ...
Registry Helper
Today, we have applications for all kinds of things that make our computing experience better, and Registry Helper is supposedly one such application. However, we suggest that you remove it, because its developers have capitalized on the demand for various system utilities and made a application that looks useful but do not do much in real life. This is how we describe Registry Helper. It is said that this application scans the computer for various errors and fixes them. ...
SMSFromBrowser Toolbar
If you are looking for a way to send SMS messages for free and you are considering installing SMSFromBrowser Toolbar, then you are in for a big surprise, because our researchers have deemed it as a malicious toolbar that you must remove. The application is unreliable for several reasons that will be discussed in greater details throughout this article. In a nutshell, the application is a cluster of links to third-party websites that have nothing to do with this toolbar. ...
Coupcoup
Coupcoup is another advertising-supported application that might enter your system and start displaying commercial advertisements on your screen. The program itself is based on the JustPlugIt engine and it might seem really innocent at first sight. Unfortunately, this software does not differ from previously published programs created on the same engine. In other words, Coupcoup is not going to do anything beneficial for you because its primary aim is to show various commercial advertisements on your screen. ...
Sail Deals
If your screen gets littered by commercials and pop-up advertisements every time you launch your browser and start surfing, there is a chance that Sail Deals has infiltrated your system and activated itself. This application is a new member in the SuperWeb family of adware. It is not only useless and annoying, but it also has some potential to cause harm to your system. It mainly affects Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer since the new versions of Google Chrome already block this adware. ...
Shmehao Games
In this article we will discuss Shmehao Games, which is a flash game website that features potentially unwanted programs that you might want to remove from your computer. The website features free online games that include action, adventure, arcade, board, and classic games. They all work fine, but the problem is that unlike in other websites, the games must be downloaded from the website. The game installers may contain malicious software that is installed without the user’s knowledge. ...
WikiBrowser
WikiBrowser is a browser based on the Chromium. It says that it will open websites very quickly and secure your privacy. Finally, it claims that you will not see any suspicious toolbars added ever again. This browser seems to be very beneficial, so it is not surprising that many computer users download it and install it on their systems. We do not say that you cannot keep this program installed; however, it should be really better to eliminate WikiBrowser if you have downloaded it from some kind of third-party website. ...
