What is Supra Savings?

Created by ADPeak Inc, the Supra Savings browser add-on claims to save time and money while shopping online by displaying coupon ads when users visit online shopping websites. While this functionality may seem legitimate, computer users should be aware that the Supra Savings plug-in is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted application.

This software commonly installs on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) together with free software downloaded from the Internet. The developers of this plugin employ a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling'.

What is websearch.searchsun.info?

The Websearch.searchsun.info browser hijacker installs together with free software downloaded from the Internet. Following successful infiltration, this adware modifies browser (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) settings by assigning values to the homepage and default search engine fields.

Moreover, user attempts to roll back these changes are blocked by installed browser 'helper objects'. The websearch.searchsun.info website can be used to search the Internet, however, the search engine presented is crowded with dubious sponsored search results - clicking these can lead to serious malware and virus infections.

What is BlockIt?

The BlockIt browser add-on claims to prevent children from visiting websites containing adult content. Although this software may seem legitimate, be aware that it is categorized as a potentially unwanted application or adware.

BlockIt add-on was developed by Revizer Technologies Ltd and employs a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' to install on Internet browsers (Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox) without users' consent.

After successful installation on these browsers, BlockIt monitors users' Internet browsing activity by recording various software and hardware information, which can be personally identifiable including, for example, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries entered, IP and MAC addresses, locations, and other similar details.

Furthermore, this rogue browser plug-in generates various intrusive online advertisements such as sponsored links, banners, deals, and pop-up ads.

This behavior may lead to serious privacy issues or malware infections. To prevent children from entering harmful websites, we suggest using legitimate anti-spyware and anti-virus suites (which include parental controls), rather than unidentified browser extensions.

What is BlackLister?

BlackLister is a rogue browser add-on developed by Revizer Technologies Ltd. Although this potentially unwanted application claims to prevent children from entering websites containing adult content, be aware that BlackLister is categorized as adware since it uses a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of additional applications together with the chosen software) to install on Internet browsers without users' permission.

Following successful infiltration on Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, BlackLister monitors users' Internet browsing activity by recording various software and hardware information, including search queries entered, URLs visited, geolocations, MAC/IP addresses, and other similar details.

Furthermore, this rogue browser plug-in generates various intrusive online advertisements, including banner, pop-up, sponsored link, and shopping discount ads. The presence of BlackLister, or other similar adware (for example, SaferSurf and BlockAndSurf) on your system may lead to serious privacy issues, identity theft, or malware infections.

Parents wishing to protect their children from encountering harmful websites, should use legitimate anti-virus or anti-spyware programs with parental controls, rather than unrecognized browser add-ons.

What is Shieldren?

The Shieldren rogue browser add-on claims to prevent children from encountering websites containing adult content. Created by Revizer Technologies Ltd, the software is optimized for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

While Shieldren seems a useful and legitimate browser extension, it is considered to be a potentially unwanted program, which generates intrusive online advertisements. Shieldren employs a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of additional applications together with the chosen software) to install on browsers without users' consent.

Following successful infiltration to Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, Shieldren generates intrusive online advertisements including sponsored links, banner, discounts, and pop-up ads. In addition, users' Internet browsing activity is continually tracked, since this rogue browser add-on records various information, which can be personally identifiable.

For example, default search engines, search queries, websites visited, locations, MAC and IP addresses, and other similar software and hardware details.

Having a potentially unwanted application such as Shieldren installed on your PC, may lead to serious privacy issues or malware infections. Internet users wishing their children to browse safely online, should aim for legitimate anti-spyware or anti-virus software (with parental controls), rather than random or suspicious browser plug-ins.

What is Tika-search.com?

The Tika toolbar employs a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' to install on these browsers without users' permission - for this reason, it is considered to be a potentially unwanted application or adware. Following successful infiltration of this plug-in, the browser homepage and default search engine settings are assigned to hxxp://www.tika-search.com.

In addition, installation of Tika-search also includes several additional add-ons, which prevent users from customizing their browser settings (for example, changing the homepage or default Internet search engine fields).

What is SnapDo?

The SnapDo browser hijacker infiltrates Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) via free software downloads. Browser redirects to the search.snapdo.com website are caused by an unwanted application called 'Snap.do' created by Resoft Ltd.

Internet users often install SnapDo adware inadvertently without their consent when downloading and installing freeware. At time of research, this browser plugin was distributed using deceptive freeware 'download clients' and fake downloads (including, for example, fake Java updates or fake Internet browser updates).

Following successful infiltration, SnapDo modifies users' Internet browser settings by assigning the homepage and default search engine fields to search.snapdo.com and feed.snapdo.com

What is websearch.awsomesearchs.info?

What is WebInternetSecurity?

The WebInternetSecurity application claims to protect users whilst surfing the Internet by warning of suspicious sites and blocking dangerous content. WebInternetSecurity is developed to work with Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox, and while its initiative to protect Internet users from malware infections is valid, this application has some downsides.

For example, it displays unwanted online ads, which computer users may find difficult to remove. Furthermore, it is unclear which company is responsible for developing and supporting this product.

Another downside of WebInternetSecurity app is that it tracks users' Internet browsing activity by recording URLs visited and search queries entered within Internet search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.) This information can be personally identifiable, and therefore, the presence of this add-on on your system may lead to serious privacy issues and identity theft.

To protect your computer and browsers from potential threats, choose trusted antivirus and anti-spyware programs. Inadvertent applications installation can occur when users install free software downloaded from the Internet, and since WebInternetSecurity is ad-supported, it may be bundled with free software for monetization purposes.

The searchy.easylifeapp.com browser hijacker infiltrates users' Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) through free software downloads and modifies the homepage and default search engine settings by assigning them to searchy.easylifeapp.com

While this website may seem legitimate (by offering Internet searching via the Yahoo! search engine), computer users should be aware that EasyLifeApp is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted application.

Developers of this browser settings-changing adware use a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling', and thus, Internet users often install this potentially unwanted program (PUP) inadvertently without their consent.
