Note-Up
Note-Up is the newest application developed by QUAHOG LIMITED. At first glance, this program seems to be really beneficial because it claims to be a “free event reminder”, which explains why it is so popular among the residents of the United States, France, Australia, United Kingdom, and Germany. Unfortunately, the majority of users who install Note-Up on their systems decide to remove Note-Up really soon or simply do not use it at all because it is not as useful as it claims to be. ...
Free Ride Games
Free Ride Games are annoying free game applications you can download from freeridegames.com. Once you install these programs, they will not stop bugging you with advertisements that are mostly about trying to make you buy the ad-free version of the games. It is also possible that some of these free games show third-party advertisements as well. Visiting the promotional website may hold certain virtual security risks since it hosts a number of potentially unreliable third-party advertisements. ...
Muzik Fury
Muzik Fury is a program that is promoted on muzikfury.thewhizmarketing.com. If you open this website, you will notice that this program promises to enable users to play trending playlists, search songs and artists, and explore music by genre. It also says that it will grant the access to the “unlimited free music.” Therefore, it is not surprising that so many users download and install this program on their computers themselves. We do not say that they cannot do that; however, they also have to know that Muzik Fury is not as good as it claims to be. ...
Zolta Registry Cleaner
If you are a user of Zolta Registry Cleaner, then we have some bad news for you. Like many online security websites, we have classified it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) because it does a pretty lousy job of cleaning your operating system’s registry. Moreover, it is configured to show you a fictitious Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) error to compel you to dial a premium toll number to get in contact with “technical support.” Therefore, we recommend that you remove this program from your PC as soon as the opportunity arises. ...
One10 PC Cleaner
Although One10 PC Cleaner might be represented to you in a very attractive manner, we can assure you that this program does not deserve your attention or time. Our tests have shown that while this program is able to delete temporary files, it is not trustworthy at all. If you install it, it will soon begin to show misleading security warnings and alerts that are designed to intimidate you and to convince you to purchase useless software. ...
SafeSearch by Raaz
SafeSearch by Raaz is a recently created browser extension that changes your homepage, new tab page, and search engine without any permission. Although it might seem like a browser hijacker, this application is classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP), as users download it themselves. In many cases, it happens because they skip through the setup wizard’s steps, and then install suggested programs without noticing. The PUP might display sponsored links in search results that could lead to downloading more unwanted software. ...
TotalSystemCare
TotalSystemCare, as its name suggests, is supposed to be a PC performance suite that brings about system stability and boosts up the performance of your computer; however, we have found that this software is rather questionable. As a matter of fact, we have classified it as a potentially unwanted program or PUP in short. This simply means that this application is not as reliable and useful as it may seem at first sight. In reality, this PUP might pose an indirect threat with regard to your system security. ...
Book Source
Book Source is an application that should enable users to download eBooks from different web pages free of charge. The program really seems to be beneficial. In addition, it works as it should, i.e. it allow users to download books; however, it is still not that trustworthy. Researchers working at 411-spyware.com have noticed that Book Source starts doing undesirable activities the moment it manages to enter the system. Therefore, many specialists classify this program as a potentially unwanted application. ...
You-boost
It is high time we talk about a new potentially unwanted program called You-boost. This awkwardly named application is supposed to increase file download speeds, but it does not, and it uses a dishonest clandestine method to show ads. Therefore, we recommend that you remove it from your PC. The fact of the matter is that this program will not increase your browser's download speeds even the slightest bit. In any case, in this article, we will focus on this program’s ad-displaying abilities as it uses a unique method to subject you to commercial content. ...
CaptureItPlus
Although CaptureItPlus is a legitimate program that offers authentic services, some people will regret installing it onto their computers. This open-source program was found to be infected with a malicious computer infection, and, if you download the PUP, this infection will be installed without your notice or permission. Unfortunately, because this threat is silent, some users will not understand being attacked by cyber criminals. To top it off, this malicious infection uses the name of a well known security tool, McAfee. ...
