Manuals Aid
Manuals Aid seems to be a browser extension and a potentially unwanted program. The application was placed in such a category because of its behavior. To be more precise, it was noticed that the application could gather information about a user’s browsing habits. It is understandable that some users might feel like it is unnecessary for an application that provides links to other websites and a search engine to track them. Plus, the data available on browsing history might be private to some users. ...

Decent Search
If you are looking for a decent search engine the extension called Decent Search might sound perfect. However, our specialists recommend learning more about this tool before deciding whether it is a good idea to get it. If you did not know this yet, the application falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs, which means that some of its functions could be annoying and undesirable.

Sealoid
Sealoid is not the program you might believe it to be. It is presented as a tool that optimizes search results, which might make you think that it can enhance your web browsing experience. It cannot do that. This extension was created for an entirely different purpose, it seems. Our researchers have analyzed this extension, and it looks like it was created to help gather user information, which could be used to present personalized ads. You should not see ads in a traditional sense. That means that you are unlikely to find banners or pop-ups. ...
SearchStreams
SearchStreams is meant to offer you a better search experience. This extension claims to “power” and “optimize” Yahoo Search results to help you access the search, images, videos, and news content you need. It does not offer anything else. This is surprising because it is unlikely that many people would be attracted to a tool that simply promises to, allegedly, find better content via Yahoo Search. On the other hand, people might truly believe that this extension is focused on finding the best search results. ...
Access Your Coupons
If you want to find real coupons to save money when shopping online, Access Your Coupons is not the extension you should install. It might make you think that you can use it to save money, but in reality, it is pretty much useless. All it can do is introduce you to Yahoo Search, as well as easy-access links to News (news.yahoo.com), Weather (wunderground.com), and Maps (google.com/maps) sites. It certainly cannot help you save money when shopping online. If you have this strange extension installed on your browser, you must have realized how useless it is. ...

GalaxySpin
If you want to be safe online, you have to stay away from programs such as GalaxySpin. It might seem to be harmless, but it is not as innocent as it might appear to be at first. According to our research team at 411-spyware.com, this extension is a potentially unwanted program (PUP), and the main reasons for that are that the extension is useless, that it hijacks the default search provider, that it collects user information, and that it presents sponsored search results by modifying Yahoo Search results. ...
SearchZilla
It is said that SearchZilla “lets you browse the web and get easy access to search, images, videos and news.” No doubt, making it possible to find various types of data on the Internet is the goal of every search engine. In fact, our specialists say that the extension’s search tool might use Yahoo search engine not only to gather but also to display results. Thus, users who notice such behavior might wonder why not go to search.yahoo.com directly and search the Internet through it instead. If you want to know what the difference could be, we invite you to read the rest of this article. ...
