Furniture Guru
Have you recently noticed a browser extension Furniture Guru on your browser? If so, then you might want to remove it because, apparently, it is a mostly useless application that many cyber security experts deemed as a potentially unwanted program (PUP.) Its creators present it as a useful extension that, allegedly, is dedicated to helping you purchase furniture. However, all it does is redirect to its affiliated websites that may or may not feature furniture. This program’s creators make money off promoting such websites, and the occasionally appearing ads can be annoying and intrusive. ...
Secure Surf
Secure Surf is a new browser extension that may not be as secure as its name suggests. This tool only works with your Google Chrome browser so if you prefer to use other browsers, it would not even make any sense to install it. However, it is quite possible that you did not even install it knowingly but more like the part of a software bundle. Although we have found that this extension does not mean any direct threat to you or to your system, it is still possible that the search results it shows you may be corrupted at times and contain questionable third-party ads and links. For this reason we have categorized it as a potentially unwanted program, or PUP. ...
Lacazette Trader
Lacazette Trader is a potentially unwanted program (PUP). It means that the application cannot cause a lot of damage to your system, and it does not mean it. However, it is very likely that it arrived at your computer without you even realizing it. And programs that were not installed willingly should not be tolerated. It is important that you remove Lacazette Trader from your system at once. And if you think that there might be more potential threats on-board, you should remove them all automatically with a reliable antispyware tool. For more information, do not hesitate to leave us a comment. ...
Videodrome Search
Videodrome Search is a useless browser extension that offers you web search for free unlimited movies,TV series, and more. This tool only works in Google Chrome. When you install it, it also changes your default search engine, which may expose you to potentially unreliable third-party ads and links. Since it is possible that you install this application in questionable ways, it is likely that you will find malware infections on your system as well. We cannot say that this extension presents a real and present danger to you or to your system but we cannot tolerate even the smallest possibility of indirect threats. ...
Takeitnow.club
Have you been routed to Takeitnow.club and offered an installer representing Fontfully, a potentially unwanted program that promises to change the fonts on any site? If you have, there are two main scenarios. You either have been rerouted to this domain via http://911docs.net after clicking a corrupted link, or a malicious infection has slithered in and is controlling the redirecting. In any case, you should refrain from installing the extension because it is too suspicious and unpredictable. For all you know, it could be set up to record and leak personal information. ...
ScenicHomepage Toolbar
ScenicHomepage Toolbar is yet another useless and potentially risky tool from the infamous Mindspark family of bad toolbars. This family has already given us dozens of similar and identical featured search pages, including OnlineWorkSuite Toolbar, InternetSpeedRadar Toolbar, and EasyDirectionsFinder Toolbar. Since these browser extensions do not mean severe danger and there is nothing malicious about them, we cannot call them malware infections. This is why we have put them all into the potentially unwanted program (PUP) category. Mind you, this does not mean that you can never get burnt by leaving this PUP in your browsers. ...
Photor
Photor is an add-on compatible with Google Chrome. Its description in the Chrome Web store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photor/jndegkabfmfeaiddoinfcmbdndcdaago?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog) tells users that it will enhance their browsing and searching experience by changing the background every 6 hours. You will really see beautiful pictures when you open your homepage or a New Tab page; however, your favorite pages will be gone. What Photor does not tell users is that it will not set beautiful pictures as backgrounds on their default pages. ...
Greatzip
Greatzip is an application that works as a file compression tool. The information provided on its official website greatzip.com tells users that it is a simple, but yet powerful file compressor. Research has shown that it is based on 7-zip, a well-known open source software working as a free file archiver, so it shares similarities with this tool too. Users are told that this application can easily zip and unzip files, enable users to secure files with the AES encryption, and, finally, zip large files for sending them via email. Since Greatzip is based on the engine of 7-zip, it also supports the following popular file types: .zip, .rar, .7z, .ace, .arj, .arc, .kgb, and others, which makes it quite a powerful tool. ...
Video Ads Blocker
Video Ads Blocker may show up in your browsers after you install questionable free software bundles. This browser extension seems to work in Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Unfortunately, this extension may pose a threat to your virtual security because it may start redirecting you to questionable promotional websites or show potentially unreliable third-party ads. Since we cannot claim that this application means direct and serious danger, we have categorized it as a potentially unwanted program, or PUP. Do not be mislead by this category though because there are risks involved that can indirectly cause more serious system security problems for you if you leave this PUP on board. ...
Fooriza
Fooriza is a dubious program that we advise you to bypass since it acts in a rather questionable manner. After its in-depth analysis, our malware experts have classified it as one more potentially unwanted program. As it turns out, it is capable of making unauthorized changes to your web browser's default settings. Unfortunately, those modifications are not in favor of the user as they will only make surfing the web a much more annoying and bothersome experience. Another major reason this application has been categorized as a potentially unwanted program is its questionable distribution. ...
