WorldNews New Tab
WorldNews New Tab is a Chrome extension that users install on their browsers thinking that it will provide beneficial services.

PlayThru Player
Even though PlayThru Player is a free program, our research team does not think it is a smart idea to install this program on your operating system. It is most likely that you were offered this freeware when downloading other programs.

In this case, PlayThru Player is the harmless program that could come bundled with malware. ...
Securor Browser
We regard Securor Browser as a potentially unwanted program, because there is almost no information regarding its developers and its origins in general.

Of course, that is not surprising, since this browser is based on the Chromium open-source web browser project. ...

Even though there are tools that can offer you authentic services of this kind, Super System Optimizer is not one of them. The services provided by this program are completely bogus, and a single cent spent on it would be wasted. ...
