RobustCleaner
RobustCleaner is not as useful as you think. This PC optimizer has joined the club of unreliable, fictitious optimizers that also includes such infamous programs as Super System Optimizer, Disk Optimizer Pro, and MPC Cleaner. Just like most fake optimizers, this one is classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP), and that already says a lot. PUPs are generally useless and unreliable, and no user should trust a PUP. The good news is you are reading this report, which means that soon you will know all that you need to know about this strange program. ...
FantastiGames
FantastiGames is a potentially unwanted program published by Exent Technologies Ltd. This program promises to help you play and download games, which is why it is generally identified as an online game manager; however, we classify it as a PUP due to several different reasons. First of all, this program is advertising-supported, and it is likely to show ads promoting third-party services whenever you interact with any games or visit the site they are represented at. ...
WeatherWizard
WeatherWizard is an application that is supposed to provide you with information about the weather, and it does that as you would expect. However, there is a downside to it, so we recommend that you remove this program because it is configured to show you bogus Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) windows. This error is supposed to trick you into calling a particular premium-rate telephone number that allegedly provides technical support. As you might have suspected, this is a scam program that is set to extort money from you. ...
Free Youtube Downloader
Free Youtube Downloader is a useless and rather suspicious application whose website has been blacklisted. Since the site and its content have not been declared as malicious yet, we have classified this application as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Reports and research show that this is a program without proper functioning. Its name is obviously rather misleading and tricks you into believing that you can download YouTube videos with it for free. But, unfortunately, it is not at all true. ...
FreeTheMedia Player
FreeTheMedia Player prides itself on being a cross-platform multimedia player that plays most multimedia files, DVSs, audio CDs, and so on. But, we recommend that you remove it as it offers nothing that the built-in Windows Media Player cannot provide. Thus, we have deemed it as a potentially unwanted program. On top of that, our research has shown that this application is a tool for distributing malicious adware-type programs that may potentially compromise your computer’s security. ...
FVP Image Viewer
FVP Image Viewer is an application for managing and viewing photos, as you may assume from its name; however, this program exhibits a few suspicious traits that make it potentially unreliable. Therefore, we have classified it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Although you may think that it is all right to keep such a program on board, we must warn you that there are certain risks if you decide so. This PUP may not be a beast of a malware infection, but it may still expose you to potentially unsafe web content indirectly. ...
Internet Cupom
Nowadays, ad-supported software plays a crucial role in popularizing websites. Internet Cupom is one such application and it is configured to promote a website called Internetcupom.com. Removing this program is something you should consider. It is not a malicious application, but will not improve your browsing experience in any way, because its only purpose is to promote this one website that you probably never heard of and are not interested in visiting. Still, it is distributed by using deceptive methods so you might install it accidentally. ...
Qip.ru
Qip.ru is a Russian search page as you may have guessed from the .ru domain; however, since it can appear in your browsers being set by software you download, we have labeled it as a potentially unwanted program, or PUP. Although many users do not consider this category a threat and do not even take the applications that belong here seriously, even PUPs might present you with indirect risks, which may result in serious infections and more security-related issues for your operating system. ...
WinRepair Pro
Even though WinRepair Pro looks like a decent PC optimization tool, we do not think that this piece of software is fully reliable, so we do not recommend keeping it installed. Hundreds of security specialists, including those that work at 411-spyware.com, classify this program as a potentially unwanted application (PUP). Of course, potentially unwanted programs are not as harmful as other infections, e.g. Trojans, so we cannot force you to remove WinRepair Pro; however, we are sure that the majority of users will decide to do that after they read through this article. ...
Wind Browser
Wind Browser is a recently released Chromium-based browser. After running our tests, we have come to the conclusion that it is a potentially unwanted program that you might want to remove. Our main problem with this browser is that it can display commercial advertisements of unknown origin. Therefore, this program is not very reliable. Nevertheless, we have observed a few other things this application should not do. Please read this full description and you will see that this browser is not worth keeping. ...
