Elements Peruse

Do not waste your time with Elements Peruse. Despite being presented as a beneficial tool, it is just another unreliable and unpredictable ad-supported program that might introduce you to strange pop-ups, banner ads, surveys, prize giveaways, and other precarious content. Interacting with the offers and ads shown by this program can be very dangerous, which is why our Anti-Spyware-101.com analysts do not recommend this. In fact, the only thing we can recommend for you is to delete Elements Peruse. This is mainly due to the fact that the ads injected by this adware are created by unfamiliar parties, and their intentions are completely unpredictable. For all we know, these parties might use advertising as a means of infecting your operating system with other computer infections. Unfortunately, this scenario is not imaginary, and our research team encounters malware distributed via malicious, corrupted ads every day. Please continue reading this report to learn more about suspicious advertising techniques and adware. Read more »

Isearch123.com

It is possible to find Isearch123.com in your browsers when your computer has been infiltrated by a browser hijacker. This questionable search engine can affect the major browsers, including Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox as well. This search engine is, of course, nothing new in a sense since it looks identical to luckysearches.com and other search engines as well. When it appears in your browser as your new home page, you may not even notice it unless you have a specific and preferred home page that disappears suddenly. This tool has a very simple and general look; that is why you may not even know that your browser settings have been changed. In all fairness, we must tell you that most of these changes take place with your “consent.” These modifications are usually offered when you install free software or a whole bundle. Unfortunately, the presence of this search engine may easily indicate that there are other malware infections on your computer. In order to keep your computer secure, it is important that you remove Isearch123.com and all other potentially harmful applications as well. Read more »

Sound+

Sound+ is a questionable application that claims to be “the first high-end HiFi emulator on PC”; yet, our researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com have found that this program does nothing much really. Apart from being totally useless, this application may enter your computer along with malware infections; therefore, it may indirectly pose a threat to your operating system and your privacy as well. Due to the questionable traits that seem to surround this tool, our specialists have categorized it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This PUP itself may not be directly a severe threat to your virtual security, but you still need to consider that it might be a worthless program that has nothing to do on your PC. We believe that you should remove Sound+ if you want to make sure that there are no holes on your security shield. In fact, a professional anti-malware application could effectively help you with that. Please read on to learn more about this PUP and the potential risks. Read more »

PadCrypt Ransomware

PadCrypt Ransomware

PadCrypt Ransomware, also known as PadCrypt 2.0, is a devious computer infection that was created to extort money from you. Anti-Spyware-101.com research team informs that this clandestine infection is an updated clone of CryptoWall and CryptoLocker infections, both of which are unreliable and deserve removal as well. Unfortunately, these threats are incredibly clandestine, and most users miss their chances to eliminate them in time. If this ransomware remains undetected, it can easily encrypt your personal files, which it can do using the AES encryption, after which all of the encrypted files gain the .enc extension. For example, when a file called “photo.jpg” is encrypted by this threat, it is renamed to “photo.jpg.enc”. Of course, this is not the only indication of this threat existing on your operating system. On the contrary, it will inform you about its own existence via a pop-up window, as well as a text file, “IMPORTANT READ ME.TXT”. Although most users will try to remove PadCrypt Ransomware, things are much more complicated than some might expect. Read more »

Locky Ransomware

Ransomware infections are designed to extort money from users. Locky Ransomware seeks to do that too, so if you ever detect it on your system, you should hurry to remove this threat from your computer. It is highly advisable to do that in order to protect other files that you create or transfer to your computer in the future.

Pop Bubbles

Pop Bubbles is classified as an advertising-supported program, and it can take over your Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox web browsers. This adware was built using the Injekt engine, just like hundreds of other unreliable ad-supported programs that we have analyzed and discussed in previous reports. Search Window, Splendor Search, Discovery App, and Blazer Deals are few of the many clones that this adware has, and every single one of them is unreliable and potentially dangerous. The good news is that it is unlikely you will need to handle more than one of these threats at the same time. On the other hand, it is almost guaranteed that you will find other threats running along with this ad-supported program because it is usually distributed via third-party installers. Read this report to learn how to delete Pop Bubbles, as well as to learn more about adware and protection against it. Read more »

MentorFamily

It only pretends to be a useful tool and the adware’s primary goal is to generate advertising revenue, but that would be impossible without you clicking the pop-ups. The smartest thing one could do would be deleting this program from your computer, but if you want to learn more continue reading this article and at the end of it you will find simple removal instructions.

Lucid Movies

Lucid Movies is an application that should allow users to watch movies and TV shows for free straight from your computer. It is said that it is very easy to use the program – a user just needs to find a video and then press Play. Even though Lucid Movies seems to be an extremely beneficial program, we cannot call it like that because it is classified as an ad-supported program (adware) by many specialists (including those researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com). You should never keep untrustworthy programs installed because they usually act in an undesirable way and might put systems into danger. Lucid Movies is no exception; it might perform undesirable activities, e.g. redirect users to other web pages and it might even expose them to potential threats. We are sure that you do not want to cause harm to your computer, so we suggest that you hurry to get rid of Lucid Movies. In order to help you with the removal process, we have also placed the manual removal instructions below this article. Read more »
