Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions

What is hp.myway.com?

The InternetSpeedUtility toolbar is developed by Mindspark Interactive Network and claims to allow users to test their Internet download and upload speeds. Some users may find this functionality legitimate and useful, however, this toolbar is considered to be a browser hijacker and a potentially unwanted application (PUA).

The main reason for these negative associations is stealth installation - InternetSpeedUtility infiltrates systems/browsers without users' permission. Following installation, Internet browser settings are modified and users' Internet browsing activity is potentially monitored.

What is Sweet-page.com?

The sweet-page.com browser hijacker was created by a company called Wify Technology Limited. This browser settings-changing adware infiltrates Internet browsers via free software downloads and assigns the browser homepage and default search engine fields to sweet-page.com.

At time of research, this browser hijacker was promoted using a deceptive free software 'download client' developed by DomaIQ. Be aware that, today, most free software download websites use download clients - small programs offering installation of advertised browser plug-ins with the chosen freeware.

Internet users who do not pay close enough attention to the freeware downloading steps can inadvertently install the sweet-page.com browser hijacker or other potentially unwanted applications.

What is search.myway.com?

The Search.myway.com website is developed by Mindspark Interactive Network. This page claims to enhance the Internet browsing experience by displaying advanced search results and providing access to the most popular social networks/websites (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.)

While this functionality may seem legitimate and useful to some users, it is categorized as a browser hijacker and an unwanted program.

There are a number of reasons for these negative associations. Firstly, this browser hijacker infiltrates the system without users' permission using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' or via intrusive pop-up ads. Secondly, it causes unwanted browser redirects, modifies browser settings, and tracks Internet browsing activity.

What is Cinema-Plus?

Created by Bright circle investments Ltd, the Cinema-Plus browser plug-in claims to enhance the YouTube experience by turning 'lights off' (enabling users to adjust computer screen lights) when watching online videos.

While some computer users may find this functionality useful, the Cinema-Plus add-on is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted application, since it infiltrates Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling'.

Computer users often install Cinema-Plus inadvertently without their consent when downloading free software.

What is Smart AD?

Smart AD advertisements are displayed by two different adware applications - MovieDea and Games Desktop. Both claim to enhance the Internet browsing experience in an attempt to give the impression of legitimate and useful software. In fact, they are categorized as potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).

MovieDea and Games Desktop infiltrate systems during installation of regular apps, display intrusive online ads, and track Internet browsing activity.

What is PriceLess?

Produced by two different companies, PriceLess is a rogue browser extension claiming to save time and money by displaying special discounts, deals, and coupons within shopping websites. Although this may seem useful and legitimate functionality, PriceLess is considered to be malware or a virus.

These associations are made since PriceLess employs a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' to install on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) without users' consent.

Bundling allows stealth distribution of programs together with other software, and therefore, most infections are caused by reckless download of free software from freeware download websites.

What is File Send Suite?

Developed by MindSpark Interactive Network, File Send Suite is a browser toolbar that supposedly provides file sharing functionality - "Send files via URLs. Drag, drop or upload files. Access secure online data storage."

Following infiltration, File Send Suite modifies Internet browser settings and may collect personally identifiable information.
