FileHunter Removal Guide

It might seem that FileHunter is really capable of helping users download different media files. After you install and open this program, you will notice a search box that will allow you to find music files, videos, games, and software. Research has shown that this program will search for different torrents on torrentz.eu website. Unfortunately, FileHunter does not work the way it should. Specialists at 411-spyware.com have noticed that it shows errors most of the time. This is one reason why FileHunter falls into the category of potentially unwanted applications. If you want to find out more information about FileHunter and why it is better to erase it, you should continue reading this article. After doing that, feel free to use the instructions which you will find below this article.

FileHunter is classified as a PUP not only because it does not work most of the time, but also because it might show advertisements. These ads might be visible on all the major browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. In most cases, these advertisements are very annoying. In addition, they can redirect you to untrustworthy websites. Do not forget that you might find malware on such web pages and end up badly infecting your system. The removal of FileHunter will help you prevent this from happening. It is a must that you remove it completely because it will still start with Windows every day and might act behind your back even though you do not use it. We are sure that you will find another application to use in its place, but do not forget to be really careful because such programs will not protect your system from harm, which means that you might download malicious software from the torrent web pages they use.

Researchers have noticed that FileHunter tends to travel bundled with other applications, so it is not surprising that it does not have an official website and it is not so easy to download it from the web. We suspect that FileHunter travels in a bundle with freeware and shareware like other suspicious programs, so, if you have downloaded and installed a video streamer, PDF converter, or another free program recently, there is no doubt that FileHunter has entered your system together with one of them. Unfortunately, there are many other programs that act like this; thus, we recommend being more cautious in the future. To be more specific, you have to install new applications very carefully; i.e., read all the information in the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use Agreement, and never skip the installation steps. It would also be wise to install SpyHunter.

As FileHunter is not a real threat, it can be deleted from your system via Control Panel. If you are one of those users who have never tried deleting a program, we suggest that you use our manual removal instructions (see below).
