HD Streaming Movies
The excess of online video streaming sites sometimes gives one an illusion that you are able to stream almost any copyrighted content without any difficulty. What’s more, programs like HD Streaming Movies try to use this misconception by coming forward and offering their services. However, this potentially unwanted program is very far from being a useful video streaming tool. If this application happens to be on your PC, it probably means that it got there accidentally. We believe that users do not install such programs consciously. Luckily, it is not hard to remove HD Streaming Movies, so you should not panic when this application pops up into you screen. ...
Searchie
Searchie is one more program that exhibits quite a few suspicious features; thus, it is not surprising that malware researchers have labeled it as a potentially unwanted program. Unfortunately, quite a few unsuspecting Internet users are simply tricked into obtaining this devious piece of software because its creators tend to use misleading and manipulative marketing techniques. On its official website, this program is advertised as a helpful tool that should improve your ability to search the web. It should allow you to choose the best search engine which would provide the most relevant results in regards to your queries. ...
FreeGovernmentForms New Tab
FreeGovernmentForms New Tab is unfortunately a newcomer potential threat source from the infamous Mindspark family. Although this new tab seems like a useful browser extension, you should know that we have labeled it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) due to certain suspicious traits it showed during testing. This means that this PUP is definitely not the most dangerous threat you can encounter on the web today, but it is still possible that its simple presence may cause security-related issues for you. ...
FetchSports
FetchSports is targeted at sports fanatics who want to have a constant stream of sports-related news. Well, this program cannot provide this service, and this is the first reason we advise removing it from your operating system. We classify this suspicious app as a potentially unwanted program, but this PUP also has some characteristics of adware (advertising-supported software). As soon as you let it into your PC, it will introduce you to suspicious offers, some of which are likely to be part of a bigger scam. Hopefully, you will realize that you need to delete FetchSports from your Windows operating system before you get yourself into trouble. ...
JokeVault New Tab
According to the JokeVault New Tab’s End User License Agreement, the extension should change your homepage or new tab page with its search engine. At first, JokeVault New Tab’s search engine looks normal compared to the others, but the fact that it displays modified search results does not make it seem reliable. On the contrary, you should be aware that the additional advertisements provided in the search results could come from potentially harmful third-party web pages. Naturally, we would recommend you to get rid of the extension before you land on a site that might infect your computer. ...
Win Tune Pro
When users find that their computers process things at a slower pace, they might be willing to look for system optimizers that delete junk files and improve overall system performance. Win Tune Pro seems to be one of such programs, but we do not think you should keep it on your computer. This application will cause more issues than do any good. In fact, it would be for the best if you removed Win Tune Pro at once. When you have to deal with programs you did not want to have, removal is the best option. For more detailed instructions, scroll down to the bottom of this article. ...
DownTango
DownTango is an annoying and questionable application that may appear on your computer after you visit suspicious file-sharing websites. In fact, we have labeled this program as a potentially unwanted program or PUP because of the traits it showed us while we were testing it. It is not enough that this may well be a totally useless application, it may also bring along a bunch of malware threats that can introduce you to unsafe third-party web content. Most users possibly have a few PUPs on their systems, and most of them may not even know about them. It is quite possible because these programs tend to crawl onto computers through questionable distribution methods. ...
MediaNewPage
MediaNewPage is a questionable piece of software, to say the least. Even though, it is marketed as a tool that should assist you with streaming full episodes of various TV shows and movies within your web browser for free, its operations cannot be trusted entirely. Malware researchers working at our internal labs have categorized this suspicious application as a potentially unwanted program due to its rather questionable functionality and suspicious means of distribution. Having this program fully active on your PC is not recommended; in fact, we advise you to remove it, if it is found running on your operating system as it does not provide any substantially valuable features. ...
FiziPop
FiziPop is an application that shows text link, pop-up, commercial, and other advertisements on your browser while playing games on the software’s website. Reviewing ads for free games might seem like a fair trade for you, but we have to warn you that the application is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) because of particular undesirable behavior. For starters, it is important to know that the ads might come from questionable third-party web pages. Also, the application might come bundled with other doubtful applications. These are the main reasons we recommend you to delete the application if you do not want to risk harming your computer. Thus, you should keep reading the article and learn more about the PUP. ...
DatingShot
DatingShot is a potentially unwanted program that promises one thing but ends up working in an unexpected manner. This PUP was tested in our internal lab, and we have found that it is a clone of ByteMovie, FitnessLance, MakeMoneyStar, and many other PUPs that are sometimes identified as advertising-supported programs as well. Although these programs provide the content they are supposed to, they also open a security backdoor for third-party advertisers, which is why you can classify them as adware as well. In either case, these programs are unreliable, and it is in your best interest to remove them from your operating system. ...
