Sponsored Links Ads

GamerzLand Search Extension
GamerzLand Search Extension might look like a useful and a harmless search engine, but our specialists say it is a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

High PC Booster
Not every program that claims to be beneficial is that way, and High PC Booster proves that. It is not malicious, and you would not be putting your virtual security on the line by downloading it – at least it does not look like it right now – but it is NOT beneficial, and you would be wasting time and money by getting involved with it. This program – which is classified as a PUP, or “potentially unwanted program” – was created to make you believe that its services are worth 19.99 USD. It is not.
