SystemBoosterPro
Have you downloaded SystemBoosterPro from its official website, otweak.com, or have you downloaded it using an unfamiliar installer? If you have used a third-party installer, the chances are that other unreliable programs are active on your operating system. If this potentially unwanted program was installed, we strongly encourage you to install a trustworthy malware scanner to quickly examine your operating system. If malicious or unreliable programs are found, do not ignore them. Although we advise deleting SystemBoosterPro, it probably can wait if more aggressive and unpredictable software was discovered. ...
AlphaShoppers
If you install AlphaShoppers, also known as Alpha Shoppers, you might face certain security issues. After researching this suspicious extension, it has become clear that it is just another marketing tool, but there is more to it. Apparently, it is capable of recording personal information, and you have to be extra cautious about that. After all, you do not want information about you collected and shared with unknown parties. As the Privacy Policy states, this kind of information could be recorded when you interact with the services of the PUP (potentially unwanted program), which might include subscribing to newsletters and placing orders. ...
SuperCouponPro Toolbar
SuperCouponPro Toolbar is another toolbar from the Mindspark family, and like most of other tools released by Mindspark Interactive Network Inc., it was also classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). The application might not be a huge threat to your computer’s security, but with the toolbar's help, you could encounter more dangerous software or perhaps even malware. Such a risk is entirely possible since the PUP might advertise third-party web pages or products that could be malicious. We will explain more about this advertising content further in the article. ...
Poonama
Poonama is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that functions as the Chrome browser extension. It means that users who use other browsers may not notice the application at all, but that does not mean this app or anything associated with it cannot enter your system. Of course, a PUP is not a ransomware infection, and it cannot steal your money, but such an application could still be associated with certain security issues one should not tolerate. So if you did not plan to install this program on your computer, and it is still there, perhaps it is about time to remove Poonama. ...
Winsnare Pup
In our practice, we have encountered quite a few programs like Winsnare Pup that are known to be affiliated with other security threats. This program in question is part of the Elex browser hijacker, so it is very likely that you have several unwanted programs on your computer. When you decide to remove Winsnare Pup (and the sooner you do that, the better), you will also have to scan your computer with a security tool that will help you determine the current state of your system’s safety. What we mean is that you will probably have to remove an entire bunch of unwanted apps. ...
Video Box
Video Box is an online video downloader promoted on video-box.org. It allows users to download all kinds of videos they like from a number of different popular websites, including YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, ARD, Bandcamp, BBC, Bloomberg, NBC, NBA, Tumblr, ZDFChannel, YouJizz, and others. This can be done in a very simple way. All users need to do is to copy the link of the video they wish to download, paste it in the download box on Video Box, and click Search. As can be seen, users can get videos they like quickly and quite easily, which explains why video downloaders, including Video Box, are so popular among computer users these days. ...
Chipopo
Chipopo is yet another potentially unwanted program that should not be allowed to remain on your computer. Of course, it is not a malicious virus that can destroy your system, but there is no need to tolerate an application you never wanted to have. If there is one desirable program installed on your PC, then the chances are that there is an entire list of unwanted apps on-board. Thus, when you remove Chipopo, do not forget to run a full system scan with a licensed antispyware tool that will help you terminate potential threats and will protect your PC from harm. ...
Sadooma
We have classified Sadooma as a potentially unwanted program because it was created for one task — to replace your browser’s homepage with Search.sadooma.com, a shady search engine that redirects to Google.com. We suggest that you remove this application and its search engine because they will not improve your computer’s security in any shape or form. The good news is that Search.sadooma.com has not been configured to modify its search results to show promoted links that can be malicious, so it does not pose a threat. However, you should not allow Sadooma’s developers have their way and dictate what search engine you can have. ...
DigiSmirkz Toolbar
You have to be every selective about the programs you install because you might end up installing malware or undesirable software. DigiSmirkz Toolbar is a potentially unwanted program that many users install thinking that it can offer beneficial services. In reality, all that it is good for is enabling access to popular websites, such as Instagram, Facebook, Gmail, Amazon, etc. These links are legitimate, and you can use them to reach these websites. On the other hand, is this service useful enough to justify the installation of this toolbar? If you are installing software, you have to be 100% sure that it is useful, transparent, and, most important, reliable. ...
Ghostify
If you ever encounter a program entitled Ghostify we highly advise you to avoid it at all times. It is important to note that this application is advertised as a useful tool that should help you access online content that is restricted in your geographical location. While it might sound like a handy program to have you should know that, in reality, it functions rather poorly. In fact, our research team has classified it as one more potentially unwanted program that you should remove if it is found active on your operating system. That is so because it exhibits quite a few questionable features. ...
