Speedomizer
Speedomizer might be not the best tool to test the Internet speed considering it is thought to be a potentially unwanted program or PUP in short. This category is for applications that might work undesirably or could introduce users to potentially dangerous content, but it does not mean the extension is malicious. Nevertheless, we would not recommend using it if your goal is to keep the computer clean and secure. What may persuade you to find a more trustworthy tool to check your Internet speed is the fact the software could track you or in other words gather information about your browsing habits whenever you surf the Internet. ...

Do you see an error pop-up on your screen? Does the pop-up come with the Gdipfontcachev1.dat filename in it?

PdfBaron
PdfBaron might look like a handy tool if you have a need to convert PDF files into Microsoft Word documents or the other way around every day, but according to our specialists the application is unreliable, and it would be safer to look for a more reputable one. To be more precise, the tool was categorized as a potentially unwanted program or PUP since it may replace specific browser preferences or even show untrustworthy advertising content through its provided search engine.

Incognito Searches

However, your web searches can always be monitored by third parties, and this is where Incognito Searches comes forth. This browser extension says that it will protect your computer and your system from unwanted monitoring. And it would be all swell if it were not for one tiny detail: Incognito Searches is a potentially unwanted program as well. So rather than trusting this application, you have to remove Incognito Searches from your system. And you have opened the right page if you want to achieve that. ...

Pics4NewTab Chrome Extension
Pics4NewTab Chrome Extension offers you "amazing" free pictures as background every time you open a new tab as well as a questionable search engine. As a matter of fact, we believe that this tool is only used by its creators to generate revenue through promoting third parties. Due to some suspicious traits this Google Chrome browser extension has shown while we were testing it, we have labeled it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) although it also behaves like a browser hijacker setting its search engine as your new tab page. This PUP may expose you to potentially unreliable third-party ads, which is always a system security risk. ...
MyEasyLotto Toolbar

Without a doubt, it is most likely that this tool will interest those who participate in lottery frequently; otherwise, it is a nuisance because it takes over the New Tab and, on some browsers, the homepage, and it does not offer beneficial services otherwise. Due to this, it is classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). ...
Zip4NewTab Chrome Extension
Zip4NewTab Chrome Extension is promoted as powerful file compression software.

Some of them find the program beneficial, whereas others do not like these changes it applies to browsers and thus decide to replace it with another program. ...
Brality
Brality is a questionable browser extension that offers you "the greatest search experience available out there" just like most of the similar useless and potentially harmful search pages. We have categorized this tool as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) because you may install it without knowing or realizing, and it might pose an indirect threat to your system even if not the dangerous type. It is also possible that some malware researchers conclude that this is a browser hijacker since it can actually change your browser settings. This PUP only seems to effect your Google Chrome browser. ...
