Wallet Protector Extension
If you often shop online, you might find Wallet Protector Extension quite a beneficial piece of software. Specialists say that this extension was developed in Germany. Of course, it can be downloaded by anyone from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wallet-protector/. Yes, it is the only source users can download it from voluntarily because it is compatible with Mozilla Firefox only. If you have already installed this browser extension, you need to know that it has all the typical features of a potentially unwanted program (PUP). ...
HolidayPhotoEdit Toolbar
HolidayPhotoEdit Toolbar is meant to offer a free photo editor that allows cropping photos, creating collages, and then sharing your creations with friends. Additionally, this seemingly beneficial piece of software is meant to help convert files and even create GIFs. Without a doubt, if you only look at the information that the creator of this PUP (potentially unwanted program) has prepared, you might think that it is a useful and fun tool that you simply cannot pass up. Unfortunately, when you install this extension, it should not be hard for you to realize that it is not all that. ...
MoviesFriendly Search Toolbar
MoviesFriendly Search Toolbar is not a malicious application, but we could not say it is extremely useful either. Accordingly, it falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs or PUPs. Even though the extension does not show any signs it might do anything harmful to the system, this still does not mean it is entirely safe to leave it on the computer. Since there are more reliable search tools you could replace MoviesFriendly Search Toolbar with and we doubt a lot of users would miss it, we recommend eliminating the PUP with the steps prepared by our specialists or with a trustworthy security tool. ...
Pracember
If you want to join the "world full of amazing search results" whatever that may mean, Pracember could be your choice but you would be wrong. This Google Chrome browser extension seems to be totally worthless as it simply redirects your searches to Google. So why on earth would anyone install such a useless app? Well, it is quite possible that you do not install it knowingly. How is this possible? Very easily when you install a free program that you downloaded from a questionable website. While you are focusing on installing your new "toy," potentially unwanted programs (PUPS) like this one and even malware infections may sneak onto your system if you are not cautious enough. ...
GifaPalooza Toolbar
GifaPalooza Toolbar ensures that it can help you view and share gifs, which is the main attraction that is likely to lure users in. At this moment, the toolbar can be downloaded as an extension onto Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox web browsers or installed as an application for Internet Explorer users. The toolbar is free, and the installation is simple, but you need to think if letting it in is the right move. If you install it, you will have to let in a highly suspicious search tool as well. MyWay search engine might seem harmless, but the fact that you are forced to install it is quite unnerving. ...
Identity Protector
Some users find Identity Protector quite a useful application and install it on their computers. Actually, we are not surprised at all that there are many users who download it from its official website http://identityprotector.co/ willingly because it is promoted as a beneficial tool. Specifically speaking, it should help users to secure their personal information, e.g., saved passwords, credit card details, profiles, telephone numbers, and social security numbers. Also, users could secure passwords their browsers are set to remember. ...
MyHomePage.pro
MyHomePage.pro is the name of a browser extension for Google Chrome that can get onto your browser by stealth and replace its homepage and new tab page with the MyHomePage.pro URL that redirects all entered search queries to an unmodified Duckduckgo.com search engine. While this extension is not malicious, we recommend that you remove it because its creators employ deceptive distribution methods to replace your search-related browser settings. The bottom line is that this extension offers nothing of value, so there is no reason to keep it. If you want to find out more about it, we invite you to read this whole description. ...
Webstart.me
Webstart.me is a relatively new home page, new tab, and default search engine page for your browsers that may appear silently, behind your back even though it is possible to download and install this browser extension via official channels. This tool may seem to be innocent and useful, but we have found certain traits exhibited that made us doubt its reliability. Thus, we have labeled this tool as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) but it is also possible that other researchers categorize it as a browser hijacker because of its capability to make changes to your browser settings. ...
Movies Tab Plus
Movies Tab Plus is an application that should provide you with access to various movies right within your web browser. It might seem like a program worthy of having due to these statements; however, you must know that your researchers have classified this piece of software as a potentially unwanted program. Thus, it should not be surprising that we urge you to delete it if it is ever found active on your PC. The classification has been assigned due to the invasive functionality of this application. Another major reason is this program's questionable distribution. ...
ArcadeApp Search
Have you downloaded ArcadeApp Search hoping that it will offer various online games for free? Though the service is truly free, you should not expect this potentially unwanted program (PUP) to offer you a great variety of games. All games promoted via this tool can be found on cantstopplaying.com. Once the extension is installed, a button is added to the browser, and you can click it to open a search field that looks for games on cantstopplaying.com. Although you might find this useful, you must realize that the extension is created to promote this website and not serve you. ...
