Chedot
We have recently come across a new browser called Chedot, but it is not evolutionary by any measure. Our research has shown that it is a potentially unwanted program that you should remove. However, it is not a malicious program that poses some kind of a threat, so you can keep it if you insist. But we want people to people aware that it features a custom search engine that may show modified, and therefore, unreliable results, and can display promotions of potentially unreliable partner websites. ...
NetRadio
People usually install NetRadio on their computers because they think that this program can enable them to listen to thousands of radio stations for free using a personal computer. The information provided on the official website of NetRadio says that this software “acts as a search engine for all of radio: song, artists, shows and stations.” It really seems that it acts as it promises to do, but you should definitely not trust this program if you have downloaded it from some kind of third-party website or if it has appeared on your computer without your permission. If this has already happened, make sure that you remove NetRadio. ...
EasyMediaConverter
EasyMediaConverter is not an infection, but it is the kind of program that you should consider removing. While researching this program, we did not see it entering operating systems without users’ permission, and it does not seem to act in critically malicious ways. However, this program connects to the Internet without your permission to contact remote adware servers so that ad-injecting could be initiated. Are you surprised that this program shows ads? You should not be if you have downloaded it from its official website, easymediaconverter.com. Here, you are asked to choose between the ad-supported version and the ad-free version. ...
SimpleMediaConverter
If you are using SimpleMediaConverter as a means of converting video and audio files, then you should pay very close attention to the information we are going to provide, because it has been classified as a potentially unwanted program. You should start thinking about removing it from your computer and getting a better converter. The selection of video converters is extensive, and there are plenty of free programs to choose from. We want to stress the fact that this program is ad-supported, so it may subject you to annoying and untrustworthy ads, because no legitimate company would risk its reputation by associating itself with shady entities responsible for this program. ...
Gaming New Tab
Gaming New Tab is a potentially unwanted program that is associated with the Mindspark family of adware applications. This browser extension cannot really infect you with malicious threats, but if you keep on using it, sooner, rather than later, you will end up being exposed to the potentially corrupted third-party content. It would be for the best to remove Gaming New Tab from your computer, as you cannot be sure whether this extension is 100% reliable. What's more, there is a good chance that there are several unwanted applications on your system, and, if that is true, then you certainly have to acquire a computer security program to terminate them all. ...
MovieJunkies New Tab
MovieJunkies New Tab is a toolbar that movie lovers may find useful. It offers them the access to movie blogs, reviews, and new film trailers. However, everything that this program is capable of is redirecting you to other websites, and you can access them even without the help of this application. What’s more, users are often tricked by MovieJunkies New Tab, as it hides the way it comes to their systems. Therefore, this program could be classified as the potentially unwanted application. ...
YellowSend
YellowSend is an application that claims to enable you to “send anyfile, anysize, anywhere,” but we have found worrisome traits when we tested it, and arrived at the conclusion that this is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) at best. This PUP can pose a serious threat to your system since it has the capability to spread malware. What’s more, it usually enters your computer along with a lot of different adware applications and other malware infections. Its presence on your PC is definitely not a good sign. ...
MyBrowser
MyBrowser is a program that supposedly can provide you with reliable services. As the name suggests, it is a web browser, and our research team has found that it was created using the Chromium engine. SuperBrowser, Kometa Browser, and plenty of other suspicious, potentially unwanted programs were created using this engine, and many of them are considered unreliable. Even though we cannot tell you what to do, ...
JustCloud
JustCloud is considered a clone of MyPCBackup because some of the files of these programs are the same and these applications act in a similar way. According to our researchers, people download and install JustCloud on their systems because they want to have a backup of their music, photos, videos, documents, and other files. In addition, they want to be able to access them anytime and anywhere. JustCloud claims that it works on all kinds of devices and it supports Windows 8, 7, XP, Vista, and MAC OSX. This program seems really beneficial, but, in fact, it is not perfect. ...
Desktop Bar
Desktop Bar is one potentially unwanted program that you will really want to remove after you read this article. At first glance, this program looks like just another pointless accessory, since it only contains links to various websites. However, there is one link that can get you in serious trouble. Desktop Bar is more than just a pointless program. It is set to promote other potentially unwanted programs and real infections, such as adware and browser hijackers. ...
