Qword Browser
Qword Browser claims to be a very useful browser because it is faster, secure, and can help you to download programs more quickly. It is not surprising that users download Qword Browser themselves because they believe that they will be able to surf the web more efficiently. If you are one of those users, you should not keep this browser installed. We suggest that you do not use it for the sake of your system’s safety and your privacy. Qword Browser can be erased rather easily; however, if you have never tried erasing a potentially unwanted program yourself, you should continue reading this article to find out how to do that. ...
PC Accelerate Pro
Albeit some users think that PC Accelerate Pro could be a decent system optimization tool, we are here to inform you that the reality is quite the opposite. This application is very good at making the impression that it can help you fix a variety of system errors, but our security experts say that PC Accelerate Pro is a potentially unwanted program and, therefore, it should be removed from your computer. Potentially unwanted programs may not destroy your system or steal your personal information, but the programs exhibit particular features that should not be tolerated. Not to mention that there is always a possibility that the potentially unwanted program gets exploited by cyber criminals. ...
Downloadme
Do you download software frequently? If you do, are you looking into download managers? Downloadme might seem like a great tool because besides managing your downloads, this program also promises to provide antivirus protection and help you convert files. Although we do not claim that software capable of all these things does not exist, it is very likely that these features are offered together just to trick you into installing this potentially unwanted program. Why do we call Downloadme a potentially unwanted program? It is because it functions in a way that it should not. ...
EasyCalendar
EasyCalendar is a program that works on Google Chrome only and is available at the Chrome Web Store, so many users install it themselves. We cannot blame them for that because this program seems to be very beneficial. If you read its description at the Chrome Web Store, you will notice that it promises to enable users to find out the current date and time very easily and quickly. Unfortunately, it seems that EasyCalendar does not work as it should because there are many users’ complaints. Specialists also say that EasyCalendar is a potentially unwanted application (PUP). We believe that you should keep only 100% trustworthy programs installed, so, in our opinion, it would be best that you remove EasyCalendar as soon as possible. ...
1PrivacyProtection
1PrivacyProtection is one of those programs that promise to act very beneficially but do not do much unless you upgrade them. Of course, users do not know that when they download this application. We cannot blame them that they believe that 1PrivacyProtection is going to act in beneficial way because this program promises that it will erase computer and Internet browsing history and clean traces of various applications. In addition, it says that it is very easy to use it and you will even be able to schedule the cleaning process. Even though 1PrivacyProtection seems to be a really beneficial program that can prevent “privacy leaks”, we do not think that it can be fully trusted because it is known to be a potentially unwanted program (PUP). ...
Widthie
If you have Google Chrome installed on your operating system, you need to beware of Widthie. This browser add-on is promoted as a tool that can show the screen width of any page you visit. We are not sure who would be interested in this kind of tool; however, according to the information on the Chrome web store, over 1 million users have this extension on their browsers. The problem is that not all of these users have installed this add-on willingly. ...
WebChefPlus
The suspicious WebChefPlus is introduced by Howard Software Limited via webchefplus.com. This website offers a working installer, but our researchers have found that this program could be spread by third-party software installers as well. How was this program installed onto your operating system? If it entered along with other unfamiliar, suspicious programs, you need to pay them attention as well. Unfortunately, it is possible that you will have to delete WebChefPlus along with all other programs that travel bundled with it. ...
PC Speedup Pro
Today, the Internet is full of seemingly useful programs that are advertised as the next best thing since sliced bread. PC Speedup Pro is one of those programs and you might want to remove it from your computer, because it is not a wise investment. It also has a few other issues that we are going to cover in this article. This program’s website claims that it will delete adware, malware, clean your computer’s registry, and fix various other issues, which is true to a degree. However, we found some of its result to be of questionable validity and it might secretly install other unreliable programs. ...
Win PC Clean Up
Does your computer require some cleaning? Perhaps you think that Win PC Clean Up could do the job? Alas, this potentially unwanted program can hardly live up to its promises. Not to mention that it can connect to a remote server and download more unfamiliar programs to your computer. You will do yourself a favor if you remove Win PC Clean Up right now. Alarmed that you may have more unwanted applications on-board? Scan your PC with the SpyHunter free scanner to determine what other unnecessary programs are running on your system, and do not hesitate to get rid of them immediately. ...
FixMyPC
FixMyPC is supposed to be a “powerful tool to repair and fine-tune your system” created by Auslogics Labs Pty Ltd., but we have found that this application is rather questionable; therefore, we have labeled it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Although this program claims that it restores order to the system registry and also improves the overall security of your PC, we have noticed that this software simply wants to lure users into buying the full version with its questionable scan results. We believe that this product is also over-priced considering that it only seems to delete some junk files, which cannot really be called “improved security.” Since this PUP may also sneak onto your machine together with malware infections, we suggest that you remove FixMyPC and make sure that you take care of all the other threats as well. ...
