New Tab Minimal
An extension that goes by the name New Tab Minimal might have been introduced to you along with a different program or extension. Have you installed it? If you have not, we suggest rejecting it without any hesitation. If you have installed it, our recommendation is to remove it. Our research team classifies this strange add-on as a potentially unwanted program because its services are not exactly beneficial for you. Although it is meant to assist you with web browsing, it also can spy on you, as well as expose you to third-party advertisements when you are browsing. Is this the kind of service you want? ...
Fileplus
Fileplus is a potentially unwanted program (PUP), which can get onto the computer alongside other programs as a bundled download or downloaded from its official website, fileplus.org. The name of the program already suggests that it deals with files. To be exact, Fileplus is a program that allows you to download multiple files, including games, movies, software and music. Despite the fact that the opportunities given by this PUP sound appealing, our team recommends that you remove Fileplus from the computer. The category to which the program belongs should signal to you that the Fileplus program should not be kept on your computer any longer. ...
Lishbos Registry Scanner
If you recently downloaded Lishbos Registry Scanner thinking that it will help you optimize your computer and fix any issues it might have, then think again because this program is nothing but a scam. We have classified it as a potentially unwanted program and suggest that you remove it from your PC at your earliest convenience because it has nothing valuable to offer to you. This program was created to make its developers money and its functionality is questionable at best. We have tested this program and found some bad things about it. So if you got this program on your PC, then you should consider uninstalling it and getting a better, free program that would perform even better than this one. ...
EZSearch
If you ever find the extension EZSearch with the unique ID ikmapcaeknfgfmjlibnhcbchfablckbp installed on your Google Chrome browser, you should immediately go to remove it because it is, undoubtedly, not a piece of software that can be trusted. Its main purpose is to promote the Yahoo! search engine, so it creates a shortcut on Desktop after the successful installation that opens search.yahoo.com/search?p={searchTerms}&xpubz=8z108mno&r=yy62f009mvb12&trk=b1v300. Since the shortcut it creates looks exactly like a legit shortcut of Google Chrome, users often click on it and are presented with the Google Chrome page with this search URL at the top. ...
Registry Scanner
Registry Scanner is a useless and potentially unreliable application that can sneak onto your computer silently, behind your back. In all fairness, we also need to mention that it does have an official site where it is available for download. Nevertheless, our tests and research indicate that this is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that has no benefit for you whatsoever; even though it claims to boost your PC's performance. As a matter of fact, there is no real proof that such registry cleaner software can enhance the speed or any other characteristic of your computer. ...
Adblocker For Youtube
We have recently tested an application called Adblocker For Youtube, a browser extension compatible with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. There are many adblockers for these browsers so you can mistake this particular browser extension for a decent adblocker. In truth, however, Adblocker For Youtube is a useless application that we have classified as a potentially unwanted program and recommend that you remove it. We have found that this program connects to shady servers and is added to Windows Defender’s scan exclusion list which might suggest that this program has something to hide. ...
Y2Go
If you encountered a suspicious program called Y2Go, we advise you to learn more about it as there is a possibility the application could violate your privacy. It looks like its working manner might allow the software to access your browsing history or even log in and other personal information alike transmitted via the Internet. Because of these undesirable qualities, the tool falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). To stop the application from gathering information that could be private, we would advise users to remove it immediately. Sadly, it does not have an uninstall file, so the tool cannot be erased via Control Panel. ...
PC Reg Boost
If you got PC Reg Boost on your PC and you have had enough of its annoying pop-up messages, then you should remove it and be done with it. We have tested it and have come to the conclusion that it is rather useless. We classified it as a potentially unwanted application because it does not do anything particularly useful and it is more of a promotional tool because its pop-ups were configured to promote a certain tech support phone number. This program is similar to the likes of Zolta Registry Cleaner, Win Tune Pro, and Clean PC Master in that it performs a minor action for which you are expected to buy it even though its performance leaves much to be desired. ...
Privacy Search Plus
Why did you install Privacy Search Plus? Were you intrigued by the services of this potentially unwanted program (PUP)? The official download page does not tell much about the app (“You should feel confident knowing that what you are searching for is NOT being tracked”), and so it is unlikely that many users will rush to acquire it. However, a third-party installer might propose a more attractive description. If you have no clue where this PUP has come from, do not rush to accuse it of illegal entrance. Maybe you accepted its installation without even realizing it when interacting with a bundled installer? ...
Fastoplayer Ads
Fastoplayer Ads is not a program that you can trust entirely. While on its official website it is advertised as a video player that provide useful features such as the ability to download video files, you must know that in reality it has been dubbed as an adware program. Our researchers highly advise you to avoid this program if you ever happen to encounter it because it is known to act in an extremely intrusive manner. Like other adware applications that are active nowadays, it is fully capable of ruining your online experience with large quantities of unwanted third-party web content. ...
