Fdownloader
Fdownloader says it is a tool that should help you create and manage your downloads. It also should be easy to use. However, according to our security analysts, it is very questionable if this tool is really capable of acting in a proper way. What’s more likely, it will get involved in some sort of shady activity. This is because the program commonly hides its entry to users’ computers. Usually, people do not even know how this potentially unwanted application has managed to enter their systems. Besides, Fdownloader can also bring dangerous programs to your PC. You can prevent this from happening by simply removing the bad download manager. ...
Pets by MyWay
Pets by MyWay is suspicious software that you can download on your system. The first symptom that it is there is the presence of home.pets.myway.com homepage. Users often install this potentially unwanted program themselves because they believe that they will be able to access a collection of images of pets and animals. Yes, you will see an image of pets on the startup page of home.pets.myway.com, which will replace your homepage, but we do not think that you will be provided with other pictures. We know no reasons why you should keep Pets by MyWay, so we highly recommend deleting Pets by MyWay immediately. This is advisable to do that for the sake of the system’s safety too. ...
VAFGames
It is possible to encounter potential security threats when you expect it the least. For example, indulging in flash games could be potentially risky because some of the flash game programs, like VAFGames, might be involved in advertising schemes. When you download and install VAFGames on your computer, you do not expect it to be potentially harmful because it would not be part of the program’s description. Nevertheless, our security experts say that this application is a potentially unwanted program that might be associated with specific computer security issues. Thus, if you want to protect your PC from harm, you will see it to that VAFGames gets removed as soon as possible. ...
VAFMusic
If you have found VAFMusic active on your operating system, we highly advise you to remove it even though vendors of this tool advertise it as a great music player that should provide you with access to free music listening. While it sounds like a tool that you would like to have, you should know that such statements about this dubious program could be considered rather misleading. In fact, they are mostly used to lure unsuspecting Internet users into downloading and installing an application that we have dubbed as a potentially unwanted program. We have categorized this music player this way because it exhibits questionable and invasive features, which could make your online experience annoying, to say the least. In this article, we provide further information about the functionality of this suspicious tool and reasons it should not be kept on your operating system. ...
Dynamic Updater
Why did you install Dynamic Updater onto your browsers? Did you think that this program will provide you with an easy access to desktop wallpapers? This is what many users believe in because this strange browser extension is offered on a website (pickyourwallpapers.com) that provides an extensive wallpaper collection. If you try to download this add-on onto your Google Chrome browser, it will be blocked, which signals that it is unreliable. Unfortunately, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers do not identify Dynamic Updater as an unreliable program. As a matter of fact, neither do we, but it is clear that this program requires removal. ...
ZipperFile
ZipperFile might look original, but our researchers have found that this potentially unwanted program (PUP) is very similar to VAFCompressor, Z-Zip, and other unreliable programs that we have recently reported. These PUPs might seem to have separate identities, but, in reality, they share the same legal information, and they have the same hidden agenda, which is to show third-party advertisements. Although we do not have proof, we have reason to believe that ZipperFile and a few other unreliable PUPs that require removal were created by the same people. The good news is that we know how to delete ZipperFile because of our experience with other PUPs. ...
TuneJunkies New Tab
TuneJunkies New Tab is yet another application that our malware experts have categorized as a potentially unwanted program. Such categorization is mostly due to its questionable functionality and dubious distribution means. On its official website, you might come across statements claiming that this program should help you find various videos and songs in a way easier way. Unfortunately, quite a few users are tricked by such misleading claims while in reality this program holds almost no beneficial features whatsoever. In fact, this invasive application will only cause major disruptions nearly every single time you decide to surf the web. ...
Zeast PC Tuneup
Zeast PC Tuneup is not the reliable program it claims to be. This potentially unwanted program should optimize your operating system; however, all it can do is delete temporary files. Of course, temporary files are unnecessary, and they take up space, but you can easily remove them yourself. Even if the suspicious Zeast PC Tuneup eliminates the temporary files successfully, it is not worth your time because it can be considered as a security threat. This suspicious program can show misleading warnings to push you into contacting a supposedly reliable helpline. Unfortunately, we cannot tell you what would happen if you called this helpline, and this is one of the reasons why you should delete Zeast PC Tuneup. ...
DownloaderPlus
DownloaderPlus is naturally a download manager, but it is one that might actually hold some system security threats for you. Unfortunately, its presence can mean the presence of malware infections, such as adware applications, bad toolbars, or worse. We have labeled it a potentially unwanted program (PUP) since the application itself is not a dangerous threat. However, its distribution method and certain traits it may exhibit might pose a threat to your system’s security. Therefore, we believe that this PUP is undesirable on your computer. Our advice for you is to remove DownloaderPlus if you do not want to experience the consequences of visiting unsafe websites through third-party ads you may be exposed to. ...
