List of Apps that install Adware/Malware/PUPS behind your back
Hi, tenforum people.
I am thinking it would be useful to make a list of those Apps that install Adware/Malware and the such and tend to hijack your browser too even if you select Custom Installation and opt out of those "fantastic" offers. This even happens when downloading software from reputable sites.
I will start.
- ATubeCatcher. I think it only adds some entries to registry.
- Songr (from Filehippo.com). This stupid software install a lot of crap down your throat, hijacks your browser homepage and or searching engine and add a gazillion entries to your registry. Might me hard to thoroughly get rid of it. Something from this package also triggered Windows Defender as mad and I even had to reboot the pc to get rid of it.
- Daemon Tools. The well known software for mounting virtual drives also tries to install something.
- Crap Cleaner. It tries to shove Google's Chrome down your throat. I know Chrome isn't malware but I hate it with passion.
I forgot to say that I do not use any of these, but I have installed them for a client's pc.
