Megaplayer
Megaplayer is one of those useless video players that do not actually work, but trick people into installing them by offering supposed superior functions that outrank those offered by the likes of VLC. It is highly recommended that you remove Megaplayer as it has absolutely nothing to offer and it is prone to display commercial advertisements inside the player and then some. We have classified this program as potentially unwanted, so if you want to find out why it is like that we suggest that you read this full article and come to your own conclusion. However, we are sure that you will agree with our classification, because in most cases this player does not even work. ...
Super PC Cleaner
Super PC Cleaner has proved to be neither “super” nor an efficient “cleaner,” but, rather, a way for its creators to generate income by making you register and pay for a useless program. We have found this application quite suspicious; therefore, we have labeled it as a potentially unwanted program, a PUP. This category usually contains applications that do not mean direct danger to your computer’s security, but they can, however, show questionable traits. For example, this PUP uses scare tactics to trick you into registering. It can also arrive along with malware infections, which can seriously lower your operating system’s level of security. ...
MiniBar
MiniBar is a program that can be installed without permission, which is one of the reasons why we identify it as a potentially unwanted program, or PUP. Although it is awful to find uninvited programs on your operating system, it should be obvious that they are unreliable because only unreliable software can enter without permission. Have you accepted the installation of MiniBar yourself? Even if you have, you still need to delete this potentially unwanted program from your operating system. ...
DownloadBoss
DownloadBoss is nothing more than a potentially unwanted program that we suggest removing as it has no practical value whatsoever. Its website states that “DownloadBoss gives you full control your downloads, allowing you to pause, cancel and resume each download individually.” However, Google Chrome for which this program was created already has these abilities, so there is no point of having such an extension. Furthermore, this extension has been programmed to change Chrome’s new tab page to a search engine called Searchnewtab.com. We argue that this search engine is unreliable as it is prone to display promotional links and gather certain information about you. ...
Wallpaper by MyWay
Wallpaper by MyWay is a potentially unwanted application whose side function may significantly outweigh its initial purpose.

Remove Wallpaper by MyWay manually and then check whether your computer is absolutely safe and clean. The most efficient way to ensure your system’s stability is investing in a computer security program of your choice. If you are in need of an advice which application you should choose, you can always contact us via the comment box below or our social media channels on Twitter, Google+, and Facebook. ...
eFast
eFast is a potentially unwanted application that might arrive at your computer in a software bundle. The bundled software is usually available at various third-party websites that distribute freeware. Whenever you are about to download some application from such a site, you need to keep in mind that you might be installing several other applications (like eFast) as well. While such programs are not direct computer security threats, it is still recommended that you remove eFast for good. It is definitely a tedious task to locate all the unwanted applications and delete them one by one. Therefore, employ an automated spyware removal tool to help you with it. ...
ZipperNew
Sometimes it seems that it would be great to have a program that would help you compress your files and send them in batches without the need to split them. At first glance, ZipperNew looks like it is one of the applications that could really do it, but the problem is that it is not the only thing this program can do. ZipperNew comes with specific side effects you simply must take into consideration if you want to keep your system safe. Our advice would be to remove ZipperNew from your computer, as this application is classified as a potentially unwanted program, and eventually it could lead to particular computer security problems. ...
FullAudioConverter
Malware researchers at our internal labs come across numerous suspicious programs on a daily basis. FullAudioConverter is one such application. Its suspicious and intrusive way of functioning was the main reasons it has been dubbed as a potentially unwanted program. Often users are deceived into downloading and installing this dubious tool because they come across statements claiming that this tool is great for converting various audio files while, in reality, this tool does not perform in the way that it should. If you wish to have an operating system that is safe and fully functioning, you should refrain yourself from FullAudioConverter and use a different tool to convert your audio material. ...
SkinnyPlayer
SkinnyPlayer is a “lightweight media player” that actually seems to function all right; however, we have found that it shows a few questionable traits that might cause some security issues for you. Therefore, we have labeled it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). The applications in this category are usually not dangerous infections, but they might still hold risks for users indirectly. Of course, at the end of the day, it is up to you whether you remove SkinnyPlayer or not. ...
Desktop Improver
If you are looking for an application to improve your PC’s performance, you need to know that Desktop Improver cannot be trusted entirely. This is so because this optimization tool functions in a questionable and a rather invasive way, which is why our research team has dubbed it as a potentially unwanted program. It has to be noted that on its official website this suspicious program is promoted as an excellent tool that should identify outdated driver software and present you with an opportunity to download new one to improve your computer’s overall performance. Unfortunately, you must know that this potentially unwanted program will not function in the best way possible. ...
