OnTargetYoga Extension
OnTargetYoga Extension was classified as a potentially unwanted program, so if you were thinking about using it on your browser, we would advise you to reconsider it. The plugin was created by an unreliable developer known as Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. Our specialists consider it to be untrustworthy because the company has developed many other potentially unwanted programs and software alike. Moreover, users should know the application might introduce them to possibly malicious advertising content and because of this keeping it installed could be unsafe for the system. ...
PresidentialBuzz Toolbar
PresidentialBuzz Toolbar was created by Mindspark Interactive Network to introduce users to the MySearch search engine, as well as to place data-tracking tools – such as web cookies – to record data about them and their activity. Although that is the real purpose behind the toolbar, which we identify as a potentially unwanted program, users are introduced to it as a beneficial tool that allegedly can help access useful information. As the name of the toolbar reveals, it is focused on presidential news, and it is meant to help users access data about the president of the United States. ...
TaxCenterNow Toolbar
Keeping up with all new tax reforms can be very confusing, but there are some tools that promise to make it all easier. TaxCenterNow Toolbar is one of them, and our research team warns that it is just another potentially unwanted program, or “PUP.” If you install this toolbar, you will be wasting valuable space on your computer that could be used up by actually beneficial and trustworthy programs. What if the toolbar’s inefficiency does not bother you? Even if you decide to ignore all of the shortcomings of this PUP, you should not keep it around because it can silently track your activity, and that is undesirable, to say the least. ...
Loadingdata.site
Loadingdata.site is an irritating potentially unwanted program (PUP) that has qualities of adware and browser hijackers. It is important to mention that so far it seems to be working only on MAC computers. Most of the users who report about it are saying the application is disturbing their browsing while using Safari. Nonetheless, just to be safe, at the end of this article, we will add our recommended removal instructions explaining how to reset Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome too. As you see resetting the browser should eliminate Loadingdata.site. ...
OnTargetYoga Toolbar
OnTargetYoga Toolbar is meant to offer great services, but it is unlikely to live up to anyone’s expectations. The interface of the extension – which is represented via a search engine-like page – displays numerous easy-access links to websites were yoga-related content is stored. The extension itself does not produce any original content, and that is why it can be classified as a useless piece of junk. Our research team identifies the extension as a potentially unwanted program (PUP), and that is because it is incapable of serving anyone in a truly beneficial manner. ...
TV Guru
TV Guru seems to be a browser plugin categorized as a potentially unwanted program or a PUP in short. Therefore, if you ever come across it, we strongly advise being cautious with it. It is not a malicious tool, but our specialists report there is a chance the extension could show untrustworthy advertisements from various third parties. For more information about the PUP’s working manner and the risks you might be taking while using its features, you should continue reading this report as further in it we will explain more about the plugin. At the moment of writing, it can work only on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. ...
ShoppingDealsLive Toolbar
ShoppingDealsLive Toolbar is another Mindspark Toolbar that comes forth with the intention to make some easy money for its developers. Of course, the application cannot steal your money or personally identifiable information. But the longer it remains on your computer, the bigger is the possibility that you will be exposed to potentially corrupted content. Thus, you should see to it that you remove ShoppingDealsLive Toolbar from your computer as soon as possible. While you are at it, please consider scanning your computer with a licensed antispyware application that will help you locate other potential threats and remove them immediately. ...
ImpaqSpeed
ImpaqSpeed is an application that can measure user’s Internet upload or download speed and ping. However, besides this, it seems the tool could also gather information about the user and show him third-party advertising content from unknown third parties. Plus, our researchers say the application is considered to be a potentially unwanted program. Given the software may show unreliable advertising content and it is not the only of its undesirable qualities, we do not find it surprising. If you want to know more about ImpaqSpeed you should keep reading our article as further in it, we will explain how the potentially unwanted program works and why it might be dangerous to keep it. ...
Ember Relax Background
Ember Relax Background is not 100% reliable software, so we cannot let you install it on your computer. It is presented as a “cosmic background” where users can control anything, including color, speed, and the size of elements on the background. Users can open and modify this background after installing Ember Relax Background, but this piece of software does not do anything else, so our researchers have some doubts about its usefulness too. Potentially unwanted programs are, technically, far from Trojans, ransomware, or other popular malicious applications threatening to enter users’ computers illegally, but they should still not be kept active on the system because they might perform undesirable activities. ...
GetPoliticalNews Toolbar
It seems like the notorious Mindspark Toolbar family is making a comeback because here we have GetPoliticalNews Toolbar, and our research team says that it is part of the group. If that is really the case, there is nothing much to worry about this application. While security websites may categorize this application in various ways, we say that it is a potentially unwanted program. It means that the toolbar is not a malicious infection, but it could cause a lot of trouble if it were exploited by malevolent third parties. Hence, it is necessary to remove GetPoliticalNews Toolbar from your computer as soon as possible. ...
