On the initial basis, RunDLL (also RunDLL32.exe) is an integral file of Dynamic Link Library modules that function in correlation with the Windows Registry. The proper operation of all DLL files is meant to ensure faster response speed and memory management while using various apps and Windows processes. If one of such files has been deleted, is missing, or Windows is simply unable to verify its location, the system will prompt a box alert with a relevant message about the error that happened. DLL files stated in error messages can vary vastly, depending on which one of them failed to undergo successful verification by Windows. We have already had multiple guides dedicated to some popular RunDLL errors with files like MSVCP110.dll, D3D12.dll, VCRUNTIME140.dll, CONCRT140.dll, MSVCR110.dll, and API-MS-WIN-CRT-RUNTIME-l1-1-0.dll as well. As a rule, users who receive RunDLL errors can encounter messages with slightly different content and also a specified directory where the file could not be found.

Gl-search.com is classified as an unwanted browser domain. This domain got most likely installed without your consent - probably after you downloaded some dubious software from the Internet. As a result, Gl-search.com became permanently visible instead of the default homepage and search engine as well. It is usually browser hijackers that cause such changes in browser settings. Being installed in the form of a desktop app or browser add-on, the hijacker can prevent reset attempts that users may try to perform in order to remove the assigned modifications. Also, browser hijackers are often suspected of abusing data-tracking abilities. This, in other words, means that hijacker developers are able to collect sensitive information such as IP-addresses, geolocations, and passwords, which can be therefore sold for revenue purposes. The main argument used by the developers to make users let their software running is ostensibly better search results, more relevancy, and convenience while surfing the web. Unfortunately, this is rarely true and simply used to cover shady activity with allegedly useful features. This and more reasons we outlined above illustrate how devastating Gl-search.com can be and why it should be removed from your browser. Some users think they can delete it on their own, however, it is important to make sure no residual files and traces are left after removal. Feel free to use our guide below to do so.

Venus is a ransomware-type virus that was recently discovered by a malware researcher called S!Ri. Its main function is file encryption and also the extortion of money for decryption from victims. While enciphering data with cryptographic algorithms, all the affected files get changed with the .venus extension. To illustrate, if 1.pdf ends up affected by the infection, it will become 1.pdf.venus also and reset its original icon. After this, victims get to familiarize themselves with decryption instructions inside of the README.txt note. Desktop wallpapers get replaced as well.

Ourcoolblog.com is an adware website that shows clickbait messages to trick users into allowing push notifications. There are millions of clones having traits similar to Ourcoolblog.com. Once users end up on such websites, they are asked to click on the Allow button in order to skip ads, watch a video, download files, or other clickbait titles.

This might be due to unwanted software that can be installed on your PC. In this case, Ourcoolblog.com will have broader access to your browser settings, which may allow it to collect personal data (e.g. passwords, IP-addresses, geolocations, credentials, etc.).

Adforyounews.com is an unwanted infection that incarnates both adware and browser hijacker capabilities. It is actually a "social engineering", that fakes browser alerts to subscribe users to real browser notifications. Once it gets settled in your PC, special scripts will change browser settings to show intrusive and irritating banners that redirect users to malicious pages. Additionally, the app generates offers alongside coupons that supposedly help you save money on online shopping. In fact, the purpose of Adforyounews.com is to make you open as many ads as possible. This way, extortionists collect rake-offs (illegal revenue) from generated clicks. Not to mention that such programs can gather personal data and sell it on shady pages to earn money. As mentioned in the beginning, Adforyounews.com also acts as a fake search engine that readdresses your queries through a chain of unwanted content. All of these traits characterize Adforyounews.com as a potentially unwanted domain, browser hijacker, therefore, it has to be removed from your PC once and for all.

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.
