Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions

What is Free Up Memory?

As its name suggests, Free Up Memory supposedly frees up space to allow the system to perform various tasks more effectively (and faster). In fact, this software is used to perform ad fraud. To trick people into installing the software, developers disguise it as a regular, legitimate program.

This malicious ad fraud tool is categorized as a trojan and can be controlled remotely. Therefore, do not install or use Free Up Memory and remove it if already installed on the operating system.

What is Quick Local Weather?

Quick Local Weather is a browser hijacker, endorsed as a tool for quick access to weather forecasts and other weather-related content.

This rogue application operates by changing browser settings in order to promote its fake search engine - search.hquicklocalweather.com. It also has data tracking abilities. Quick Local Weather is additionally categorized as a PUA (Potentially Unwanted Application), due to most users installing it inadvertently.

What is Mega Music Search?

According to the developers of Mega Music Search, this app allows users to listen to various songs and albums, create playlists, and discover new music directly from their browsers. In fact, this app is a browser hijacker related to other potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) such as Mega Media Start, and Mega Movies Search. 

Typically, browser hijackers change browser settings to promote fake search engines (in this case, music.globalappz.live) and collect user-data. Generally, people do not download or install apps of this type intentionally.

What is NEMTY PROJECT?

NEMTY PROJECT is a high-risk ransomware-type infection discovered by malware researcher, S!Ri. The purpose of this ransomware is to encrypt data stored on the system so that developers can make ransom demands by offering paid recovery of files.

NEMTY PROJECT also appends each filename with the ".nemty" extension (e.g., "sample.jpg" becomes "sample.jpg.nemty"). Additionally, NEMTY PROJECT stores a text file named "NEMTY-DECRYPT.txt" in most existing folders.

An updated variant of NEMTY Project ransomware appends filenames with the "._NEMTY_[random_characters]_" extension (e.g., "1.jpg" -> "1.jpg._NEMTY_huWhN62_") and creates another text file "_NEMTY_[random_characters]_-DECRYPT.txt" (e.g., "_NEMTY_huWhN62_-DECRYPT.txt") containing an identical message.

What is MovieBox?

MovieBox is advertised as an app that allows users to access various movie-related sites directly from a new browser tab. This app changes browser settings to promote a fake search engine (feed.moviebox-online.com) and collects various user-system information.

Apps of this type are termed browser hijackers and potentially unwanted apps (PUAs), since people often download and install them unintentionally.

What is Get TV Easy?

Developers of Get TV Easy offer access to various TV streaming websites from browsers, however, once this software is installed, it changes browser settings to promote a fake search engine. In summary, this app is a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and a browser hijacker.

Additionally, Get TV Easy collects information relating to users' browsing activities and developers distribute the details using another PUA called Hide My Searches. Most people download and install apps of this type unintentionally.

What is Your Email Simplified?

Your Email Simplified is yet another dubious application that supposedly allows users to access their emails. Judging on appearance alone, this app may seem legitimate and useful, however, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and a browser hijacker.

The main reasons for these negative associations are installation without users' consent, promotion of a fake search engine, and tracking of browsing activity. Your Email Simplified is usually packaged with another browser-hijacking app called Hide My Searches.

What is PC SpeedLane?

PC SpeedLane is advertised as an all-in-one computer optimization tool that supposedly improves computer performance by removing items, programs that might have impact on performance, and fixing other issues. In fact, PC SpeedLane is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA).

People commonly download and install apps that belong to this category unintentionally, since developers distribute them using deception - they include them in the download or installation set-ups of other programs.

What is naneso[.]com?

Naneso[.]com is a dubious site, akin to vakogid.com, ciessimple.pro, allowpush.club and thousands of others. It is designed to cause undesired redirects to other compromised and potentially malicious websites, as well as present visitors with highly suspect content.

Intentional visits to said site are rare; most users access it by way of redirection from other untrustworthy websites (precisely, through intrusive advertisements there) or by having it opened by rogue applications (PUAs - potentially unwanted applications).

Users should know that their explicit permission is not necessary for these apps to breach their systems. PUAs create redirects, deliver invasive ad campaigns and can even track user data.

What is mp3downloade[.]com?

Mp3downloade[.]com is a rogue site, similar to loteron.com, orboreshitert.info, check-out-this.site and others. Like many of its kin, this site is designed to cause redirects to unreliable/malicious websites and to display a variety of hazardous content. Most visitors to mp3downloade[.]com enter it unwillingly.

By being redirected from a compromised site (specifically, through intrusive advertisements within) or by having it forcefully opened by PUAs (potentially unwanted applications) present in their systems. It should be noted that applications of this sort do not require express user permission to be installed onto their device.

Aside from causing redirects, these apps can also deliver invasive ad campaigns and even track data.
