filmsNow Search
If you have filmsNow Search in your Google Chrome browser, it is possible that you are a movies fan and installed this questionable browser extension to be able to watch films online. However, it is also possible that you have no idea how this potentially unwanted program (PUP) slithered onto your system and ended up in your browser. As a matter of fact, this is not the first time we have seen such an extension. This PUP belongs to a growing family of equally useless and questionable tools, including MoviesNet Search, NetGaming Search, and FilmsNet Start. ...
netGamer Start
Not every extension is useful, and not every extension is trustworthy. Although netGamer Start is represented as a great add-on for your Google Chrome web browser, it is not all that great. First of all, it cannot serve you in a highly beneficial way. Second, one of its services is not trustworthy and should not be used at all. So, do you want a tool that is not useful and, on top of that, might be unreliable? We are sure that you do not, which must be the reason you are researching the removal of this PUP (stands for “potentially unwanted program”). ...
Gatmog Search Extension
Gatmog Search Extension cannot serve you in a beneficial manner. Although it is promoted as a tool that allegedly can enhance your browsing experience, in reality, its only function is to support the GATMOG Search Engine. When the extension is installed, the default search provider is changed to gatmog.com. This search tool is also represented via the New Tab page. Trusting this tool would be a huge mistake, and so we do not recommend it. If you do, your operating system could be soon beleaguered with malware, and malicious software could also be installed on your operating system. ...
FolderShare
FolderShare is a desktop application for sharing data across different computers connected to a single network. The application is available at no charge, but, unfortunately, with some additional components that inhibit users from using their computers as usual. To be more precise, the FolderShare application arrives at a computer bundled with some adware components that flood the user with various advertisements. Although FolderShare has not been found to possess any malicious script, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP), just because of the extra unwanted content delivered to your computer. ...
5finder.com
If you have just found that your Chrome browser is modified by 5finder.com, that means that your PC needs professional protection against browser hijackers and other PC threats available on the Internet. The search engine 5finder.com is identical to spicystart.com, which, like 5finder.com, is spread by a browser extension. The two browser extension are supposed to enhance your browsing experience by providing you with unique search results, but our advice is to ignore this frequently used catchy phrase and remove 5finder.com from your browsers. ...
Advanced Identity Protector
Advanced Identity Protector is promoted as a beneficial tool that can help to prevent identity theft by identifying all “identity traces” that can be stolen from users’ computers and then placing personal data in a safe place. Advanced Identity Protector has been developed by Systweak, it is a company that focuses on the development of potentially unwanted programs. Because of this, specialists working at 411-spyware.com have decided to inspect Advanced Identity Protector as well. Unfortunately, it has turned out that it is another potentially unwanted program (PUP). ...
PublicHotsp
If you believe that PublicHotsp is responsible for bombarding you with advertisements, you are wrong. This potentially unwanted program (PUP) is meant to help you create a WiFi hotspot, and it is the adware that comes bundled with it that is responsible for the annoying ads. The program is classified as a PUP because it leads to the infiltration of adware. Furthermore, its services are questionable, and it is recommended that you find a more beneficial and trustworthy tool to assist you with creating WiFi. It is unknown if the PUP comes packaged with adware in all cases. ...
EqualTab
EqualTab, also known as Equal Tab - New Tab, is a browser extension offering you access to Google and some other frequently websites. The browser extension sets equaltab.biz as the home page of the Google Chrome browser, which also results in the display of a weather forecast for the location of the user. New tabs also loads the website promoted by the EqualTan extension. If you find that the changes made on your browser do not satisfy you, do not hesitate to remove EqualTab. ...
Your Email Accounts Toolbar
If settings of your Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers have been altered, the chances are high that Your Email Accounts Toolbar has been installed on your computer. There are hundreds of programs that can apply changes to users’ web browsers; however, you can be sure that Your Email Accounts Toolbar is the one that is active on your system if you have started seeing http://search.hyouremailaccounts.com/ when you launch your web browser. This search tool is automatically opened to users because Your Email Accounts Toolbar sets it as a new homepage, search provider, and New Tab. ...
nJoyMovies Search Plus
nJoyMovies Search Plus seems to be a clone of other similar potentially unwanted programs that we recently reviewed, for example, nJoyMovies Now, nJoySport Search, nJoyFilm Now, etc. Same as the mentioned examples, the extension provides a particular search tool that is said to provide the user “with a better web search experience.” However, just like with other of its clones, we doubt the application can provide everything it promises. As a matter of fact, we believe it might display suspicious advertising content among its gathered search results. ...
