According to information written on the official website, IdleCrawler is a piece of software allowing users get insights about their competitors and create successful marketing campaigns (by tracking SERP information). Unfortunately, it's usefulness is heavily doubted due to poor performance of the proclaimed features. During investigation, it was found that IdleCrawler does not create any boot-up shortcuts which makes its usage uncertain. The only way users find out about its presence is if they open a list of all programs. Once installed, it automatically launches two processes called Runner.exe and Navigate.exe, which run in the background and cause high CPU usage. This can therefore lead to slower PC performance and Internet speed. In addition to this, IdleCrawler also installs two entries in Windows Task Scheduler named Special IC Runner and Advanced IC Updating. The first is meant to boot the app each time a user logs into Windows and the other is used for downloading configuration instructions for the already mentioned Runner.exe process. As a rule, software like IdleCrawler is less likely to be installed by users themselves - instead, it is usually distributed via third-party program installers and without users' consent. We should therefore note that IdleCrawler is not a piece of malware, but rather unwanted software that may get installed unwillingly. This and other information stated above gives a solid amount of reasons why IdleCrawler should be removed from your system. You can follow our guide below to do it effectively without traces.

ScanGuard positions itself as a useful PC optimization utility. It is, however, oftentimes categorized as unwanted software due to potentially sneaky distribution techniques. Most users get it either without consent or by accidentally allowing it during some other program installation. As a rule, such system optimizers have doubtful functionality performance. While ScanGuard claims to ensure safety on the web and against viruses, run disk cleanups, and also boost PC performance, it is often doubted in doing so effectively. On top of that, some unreliable system optimizers tend to create false lists of threats to make users purchase the premium version. Doing so will most probably be a waste of money due to generally poor capabilities of such software. If ScanGuard appeared without your knowledge or you were convinced to download it from somewhere, we therefore recommend you remove it using our guidelines below.

If you see the continuous flow of different advertisements on your desktop, then more likely you have been tricked into allowing push notifications from Cardiidae.com. Such websites have various clones and mimics that try to abuse push-notification features in browsers. By doing so, they claim that it is necessary to allow push notifications in order to pass Captcha, download a file, or anything similar. This particular domain claims: Click "Allow" to confirm that you are not a robot. Such websites can pop up unintentionally when browsing poor websites, clicking on virtual buttons, or banners. However, if you see Cardiidae.com each time at browser startup, then you might be infected with adware. Keep in mind that all ads that are generated by these applications can be dangerous and put your data at risk. To prevent this, you can use our free guide to delete Cardiidae.com and its side effects below.

Being classified as an adware-related website, Adstopc.com displays a fake dialog window asking to allow push-notifications. Giving such permission under the pretext of watching a video, downloading a file, or reaching a website, will lead to nothing, but pure advertising clutter right on your desktop. In other words, your desktop will become a place for showing low-sort banners and ads, which might bear unwanted or even malicious redirects. Sometimes, Adstopc.com can be visited after interacting with the advertising chain (clicking on banners, pop-ups, etc.). Other cases, however, suggest the presence of adware that alters some browser settings to feature Adstopc.com each time at browser startup. In order to prevent this and other privacy problems, we recommend you get rid of the app causing Adstopc.com redirects. Our guide below will give a full scope on how to remove such infections without traces.

WildFire Locker is a malicious program categorized as ransomware. It operates by restricting access to data (with AES-256 CBC encryption algorithms) and then demanding money from victims. During the data encryption process, all targeted files acquire this long and written format #WildFire_Locker#[original file name]##.[original extension].wflx. Cybercriminals do so to highlight encryption and make victims spot it. For instance, a file previously named documents.pdf will therefore become something like #WildFire_Locker#documents##.pdf.wflx and reset its original icon as well. Following this, the virus creates three files with .txt, .html, and .bmp extensions providing relevant information about the decryption procedure. Most detailed instructions are given inside the HOW_TO_UNLOCK_FILES_README_(victim's unique ID).txt text note.

Findsingl.com is the name of an unwanted browser domain. It is often promoted by a hijacker extension or program that stealthily runs in the system. As a rule, such addresses get installed unwillingly - people may accidentally install an unwanted app or extension that foster changes in homepage, search engines, and various other settings as well. The only purpose of this is usually to garner fake traffic by displaying ads. Many of search engines like Findsingl.com are actually useless and unable to generate their own results. Instead, they back their operation by one of the legitimate engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, and so forth. Threats that browser hijackers can lead to are malware infections, unwanted software, or even data surveillance too. Some extensions get access to reading information stored in a browser, such as passwords, IP-addresses, geolocations, and more. This is another reason for why browser hijackers should be removed from your browser and computer as well. If you feel not experienced enough to do it on your own, we can advise you to follow our guide below for complete and fast instructions on the deletion and restoration of settings back to their normal.

Mysmarterdeals.shop is another online-based scam that uses clickbait to trick users into allowing fake push notifications to send malicious ads to the desktop. Such domains are usually visited inadvertently rather than intentionally. When it comes to seeing these redirects at the browser startup, they cannot exist independently, instead, they are buttressed by Potentially Unwanted Programs like adware installed on the system. These apps modify settings in favor of displaying fake pop-ups, intrusive ads, and other content that diminishes the whole experience. Mysmarterdeals.shop forces you into clicking on the "Allow" button under the pretext of bypassing the captcha verification. Once allowed, users are compelled to tolerate spam or ads appearing right on the screen. These advertisements contain redirects to questionable and untrustworthy websites that are created for malvertising purposes. Moreover, potentially unwanted programs are capable of collecting browser-related data (passwords, IP addresses, geolocations, etc.) and flushing it down to cybercriminals for making a profit. Mysmarterdeals.shop endangers your privacy, therefore, it needs to be removed from your PC.

Captchaless.top is a malicious domain that displays questionable ads and other promotional links. As a rule, users get redirected to such pages inadvertently when clicking on shady ads or because of adware installed on PC. Unfortunately, adware modifies browser settings to display these kinds of websites, not allowing users to reset the changes as long as the program is installed. Once visited, Captchaless.top tries to impose various tricks like fake push notifications that, once allowed, generate unwanted advertisements on the desktop. Often, it is shown as an intermediary page on video resource and shows the message: Click "Allow" to confirm that you are not a robot!. When subscribing to notifications is, obviously, not necessary. In fact, there are plenty of similar websites that also get paid to advertise third-parties software and no matter whether it is good or not. Note that if the adware has snuck into your system, there is a chance that it also gathers browser-related information (e.g. passwords, IP addresses, geolocations, etc.) that is therefore transferred to cybercriminals. This explains why developers strive to infect multiple systems, since it is their main source of income. To ensure that your data is protected, you should delete a malicious program that forces Captchaless.top notifications.
