Free Online Manuals Browser Hijacker

What is Free Online Manuals?

Free Online Manuals is yet another rogue application that is identical to My Forms Suite, Local Weather Radar, Quick Email Login, and many others. By offering easy access to various user manuals, Free Online Manuals attempts to give the impression of legitimacy, however, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and a browser hijacker.

There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) stealth installation without users' consent; 2) tracking of browsing activity, and; 3) modification of browser options.

   
Usecytonsmehers.info Ads

What is usecytonsmehers[.]info?

The Internet is full of rogue websites similar to usecytonsmehers[.]info. Some other examples include verytearfoilew[.]info, geting[.]pro, and newsfrog[.]me. When opened, these web pages redirect people to other, potentially malicious websites or display dubious content.

Generally, people end up visiting these sites due to potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) installed on their operating systems or browsers. In other cases, usecytonsmehers[.]info and other sites of this type are opened when people click deceptive ads.

Typically, people download and install PUAs inadvertently. These apps serve users with intrusive ads and gather information about browsing habits.

   
Xtron System Care Unwanted Application

What is Xtron System Care?

According to the developers of Xtron System Care, this program supposedly cleans, optimizes, and enables computers to run faster by cleaning unnecessary files, removing programs, and fixing errors.

In fact, this is a potentially unwanted application (PUA), since it is distributed by deceptively including it into set-ups of other software. Note that many people download and install Xtron System Care unintentionally.

   
MyPrintableCoupons Adware

What is MyPrintableCoupons?

MyPrintableCoupons is a deceptive application that supposedly saves time and money by providing discount coupons for various stores (e.g., Amazon, Walmart, Costco, etc.).

This functionality may seem legitimate and useful, however, MyPrintableCoupons is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and adware, since it often infiltrates systems without users' consent, delivers intrusive advertisements, and gathers information.

   
POP-UP Ads Virus (Mac)

What are pop-up ads?

POP-UP ads (or simply 'pop-ups) are advertisements that usually appear in smaller windows. Typically, they appear in the foreground of a visited website and thus often conceal underlying content. Their presence is due to installed adware or visited websites that use rogue advertising networks. However they are displayed, pop-ups are annoying and cannot be trusted.

   
My Forms Suite Browser Hijacker

What is My Forms Suite?

My Forms Suite is a rogue application that supposedly allows users to download various document forms. It is identical to Find My Ancestry, Easy Weather Forecast, Fast Login Email Now, and dozens of other browser-hijacking applications.

My Forms Suite may seem to be a legitimate and useful app, however, it is categorized as a browser hijacker and a potentially unwanted application (PUA). The main reasons for these negative associations are stealth installation without users' consent, promotion of a fake search engine (search.hmyformssuite.com), and tracking of browsing activity.

   
Smart Search Virus (Mac)

What is Smart Search?

Smart Search is a browser hijacker, a potentially unwanted application (PUA) that targets browsers used on Mac computers. The app is usually installed through a fake Flash Player updater.

After installation on hijacked browsers, Smart Search starts opening dubious websites, forcing users to access untrustworthy search engines such as weknow.ac, searchmine.netchumsearch.com, and others. To obtain results from these search engines, users must click the "Smart Search" button, which is also the name of the browser hijacker.

   
Neras Ransomware

What is Neras?

This ransomware belongs to the Djvu family and was discovered by Michael Gillespie. Like most programs of this type, Neras is used to encrypt data and force victims to pay a ransom. It adds ".neras" to the filename of each encrypted file (for example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.neras") and creates a ransom message within a text file called "_readme.txt".

   
Verytearfoilew.info Ads

What is verytearfoilew[.]info?

verytearfoilew[.]info is a rogue website that shares similarities with bodlift.com, markably.info, gatonsenropha.info, and many others. Note that verytearfoilew[.]info redirects users to other rogue websites and presents dubious content.

Users generally arrive at this site inadvertently - they are redirected after clicking intrusive advertisements or when they have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on their systems. Research shows that PUAs often infiltrate computers without permission. They also cause unwanted redirects, monitor browsing activity, and feed users with intrusive advertisements.

   
Win32/Fuery Trojan

What is Win32/Fuery?

Win32/Fuery is the detection name of trojan-type programs. This is a 'generic detection', indicating that the damage caused by trojans identified as Win32/Fuery can differ. In any case, trojans are malicious programs that can cause serious problems. If the installed anti-virus suite has detected Win32/Fuery, remove this threat immediately.
