WorldSport New Tab
Perhaps you would be thrilled at the perspective of having WorldSport New Tab on your computer, especially if you are an avid sports fan. However, our piece of advice would be that you remove WorldSport New Tab from your browser because this piece of an application is considered potentially unwanted by our security researchers. It mostly means that this new Google Chrome tab is associated with unreliable and potentially harmful third-party programs and services, and you definitely need to steer clear of anything that could prove to be dangerous to your computer. ...
ZiperFly
If you are looking to swap your current file archiver and have stumbled upon ZiperFly, then you should know that it is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that many users chose to remove. As an archiver, this application does a pretty lousy job, since it only works with zip files. In this day and age when file formats are plentiful, developing an archiver that supports only one is nothing short of a failure. Apart from outdated functions, this application has the ability to display commercial advertisements. We will provide you with more information as we move on, so if you have installed or are considering installing this application, then please keep reading. ...
GamerHippo
There might be many reasons why you see multiple commercial advertisements on your PC. For example, you might have GamerHippo installed on your PC. This program is supposed to be an online game download manager, but in reality it works like an adware application that promotes third-party content. It is very likely that you did not plan on having this program on-board, so the best solution in this situation is to remove GamerHippo for good. ...
DnsIO
DnsIO is a piece of software that our malware experts identify as a potentially unwanted program. This program not only does not work the way it is supposed to but also changes DNS settings, which is why it can be very disruptive. On top of that, this PUP can modify your default search provider and change your homepage. Even though it is unlikely that this suspicious program will hijack the homepage on your browsers without permission, you might agree to the changes by accident. The changes to your browsers are set by default, and, if you want to keep using your regular search tools, you have to uncheck boxes indicating that you agree to modify your search settings. Whether or not you have avoided the installation of the suspicious search tools, we advise deleting DnsIO. ...
Guardbox
There are far too many potentially unwanted programs out there that promise to be good, and yet they only expose you to potential security threats. Guardbox is one of those programs that you should not install on your computer just like that. Although the application itself is not malicious, some of its additional features are associated with potential infections, and that most certainly should not be tolerated. You have to remove Guardbox from your PC at once if you want to avoid serious computer security problems in the future. What’s more, you may also need to delete other unfamiliar and dangerous programs that might have entered the system with Guardbox. ...
TerasGames
If you enjoy playing online games, programs like TerasGames might intrigue you. This game manager is very similar to GamerHippo, TwistArcade, ArcadeHall, and other suspicious programs we have discussed in the past. Although these programs are introduced to users as original tools, all of them have the same function, and it very possible that they were created by the same company. Although all of these programs function in the same way, they all represent the services of different websites, regardless of the fact that those sites are identical as well. ...
SpringFiles
We have recently come across a potentially unwanted program known as SpringFiles. This application is not dangerous and does not carry any malicious traits on its own. However, it is regarded as a potentially unwanted program by many security analysts and a lot of antimalware scanners detect it as a threat and are set to remove it. The fact of the matter is that SpringFiles is always bundled with truly malicious applications, such as browser hijackers. ...
MaxDownload
We have classified MaxDownload as a potentially unwanted program, because it is not a torrent downloader as it would like us to believe. You ought to remove this application, because it will not do you any good. It is not malicious in nature. The worst that it can do is that it might use up valuable system recourses that could be put to better use. It is obvious that MaxDownload has nothing to offer, but let us take a closer look at this application in order to determine what it actually is, how it is distributed and, most importantly, how you can remove it. ...
iScreeny
Do you know how to make screen captures on your computer? Do you do that to share them with your friends? Applications like iScreeny come forward offering you an instant sharing feature, but, before you give in to the temptation to install this program, perhaps you should find out more about it. On top of that, if iScreeny is already on your computer, and you have no idea how it arrived on your system, perhaps that is the best reason to remove this application. iScreeny is a potentially unwanted program that is often associated with multiple computer security problems, and you most definitely have to do everything to avoid those. ...
SpeedOptimizerGuru
We have recently discovered a new potentially unwanted program titled SpeedOptimizerGuru. This questionable application is presented as an all-around computer optimization tool that can do a lot of things and fix various system issues. However, we are not so sure about this program’s functions, because it does not provide any details about the problems that it is set to detect. If you have this application, then you might want to remove it and get another application, because SpeedOptimizerGuru is not free. In fact it costs a reasonable amount of money. ...
