How to remove Search.chunckapp.com (Mac)
Search.chunckapp.com or Feed.chunckapp.com is another browser hijacker that ostensibly improves browsing by adding a new search engine. Such changes are usually supported by unwanted applications that can be installed via infected repacks and other shady downloads. After successful installation, the program will change browser settings and assign a new search.chunckapp.com search engine, alter the default homepage and add other "useful" features. The most dangerous about browser hijackers is that they are designed to gather browser-related information such as passwords, IP-addresses, geolocations, history, and other data that cybercriminals tend to misuse. Thereafter, bank accounts/e-wallets can be hacked for revenue purposes. Besides that, settings manipulations can diminish your browsing by displaying malicious ads on each website you visit.
How to remove AphroditeResults (AphroditeTechResults) (Mac)
AphroditeResults (AphroditeTechResults) is a type of virus that targets Macintosh users by changing browser settings. Systems infected with such a program experience a notification saying that Google Chrome has blocked an extension called AphroditeResults (or AphroditeTechResults) which tries to enable itself in order to alter the homepage and switch your search engine to "search.logicalmodule.com". Usually, people install these extensions unknowingly because of an unwanted program installed on the PC. Such symptoms are similar to browser hijackers that are meant to ostensibly improve browsing. However, they are purposely created to gather personal data (e.g. passwords, history, IP-addresses, geolocations) and deliver it to cybercriminals for revenue purposes. Furthermore, such infiltrations can display questionable ads that hover upon pages and contain malicious redirects. Removing the extension from the browser may not be enough because the program will instantly reinstall it.
How to remove Mp3juices.cc
Mp3juices.cc is an online instrument allowing users to convert videos (.mp4) into an audio format (.mp3). You simply type in your search query or paste the link of the preferred video to download an audio file. Whilst this site may seem very useful, it uses rogue advertising networks to cause malicious redirects. Such websites contain hidden buttons or links that are accidentally clicked and redirect users to questionable pages that host infectious content. On top of that, Mp3juices.cc tries to trick you into allowing fake push notifications that are meant to settle adware on your computer in order to spread unwanted banners, coupons, and other kinds of advertisements. Such infections can allow cybercriminals to spy on your activity and gather sensitive data like passwords, geolocations, IP-addresses, and sell it to third-parties. In addition, Mp3juices.cc was also spotted to be advertising fake system optimization utilities like CleanMyMac and various others.
How to remove Lkysearchds-a.akamaihd.net
Lkysearchds-a.akamaihd.net is part of the a.akamaihd.net family. We have already discussed searchinterneat-a.akamaihd.net on our blog which is supposedly meant to provide better and more accurate searching experience. Lkysearchds-a.akamaihd.net does exactly the same. It is promoted by deceptive set-ups that modify browser settings resulting in multiple changes. After successful installation, the browser's interface will be refreshed with a new homepage and lkysearchds-a.akamaihd.net search engine as well. Developers claim that their software is capable of generating more relevant results. Unfortunately, this is not true since it redirects users to legitimate websites like Yahoo.com and displays queries from them. Such applications are also classified as browser hijackers since they can stealthily spy on your Internet activity and collect various data like passwords, searching history, credentials, IP-addresses, etc. This information is sensitive and can be sold to third-parties for revenue purposes.
How to remove Ad.doubleclick.net ads
Ad.doubleclick.net is a legitimate advertising service, that, in some cases, can be related to adware. Although Google ads editors moderate the quality of advertisers, very often this platform is used by unscrupulous vendors. Initially, it is a marketing domain used by Google for displaying a wide range of different ads. On the surface, ads look very appealing and positive, but this is a cover used to tantalize users into clicking on them that may eventually result in a chain of malicious resources like landing pages, free file hosting websites and other unwanted ones. These undesirable visits can force raw users into inadvertently downloading adware on their computers. Adware is classified as a low-level threat that can be easily removed, however, it is very annoying by means of advertisement distribution that is occasionally displayed on the screen. Curiosity and unawareness are the biggest enemies for inexperienced users because they are easily induced into clicking on these ads hence putting their data under a huge risk.
How to remove Easy Mac Care
Easy Mac Care is a fake system optimization tool designed for Macintosh. Developers claim their software to speed up the system by eliminating cache, logs and other unnecessary data that can slow down your PC. Whereas it may seem useful, research shows that Easy Mac Care brings no promised value, on the contrary, it creates a list of fake issues displayed after running a scan. This is made to force inexperienced users into buying the Premium version to activate PRO features and rectify these issues as a result. Being classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program, Easy Mac Care is supposedly designed to extort money. It is much better to use trusted and official tools like Spyhunter for Mac or others that have been testified by most users and deserved integrity in the market. On top of that, we are not sure about Easy Mac Care, but some PUPs can put your privacy under risk by stealthily gathering personal data and selling it to third-parties.
How to remove WindowMix (Mac)
As developers state, WindowMix is designed to enhance your browsing by adding "more intelligent searching algorithms". However, this is a fool since WindowWix was recently categorized as an adware-type program. Basically, adware is meant to promote intrusive ads, banners, hyperlinks, or coupons that redirect users to malicious and untrustworthy websites that include unwanted programs, fake software updaters, and others. Clicking on any of the ads can also lead to the websites that, once entered, start running executable scripts that will infect PC without users' consent. WindowMix does not conceal its presence and can be easily found by its icon (white magnifying glass with the green background) on the desktop. Besides that, adware is known to be collecting personal data like passwords, browsing history, IP-addresses, and geolocations.
How to remove Package Tracking Pro (Windows and Mac)
Package Tracking Pro is a regular browser extension that entrenches deeply into your computer meanwhile changing the style of the homepage and other sides of the interface. As developers say, Package Tracking Pro escalates the uploading speed and refines searching results making up the best efficiency you can possibly get in 2020. But that is obviously all fake news. Under the shroud of transparency hides its actual face which is snatching your browser data like visited pages and browser history. In addition to that, the hijacker modifies the default browser's search and homepage settings to search.searchm3p1.com, search.searchptp1.com or other search domain. All stollen data can then be easily sent to third parties for analyzing your interests. This can eventually lead to some kind of fraudulent scheme like ransom that implies an equal exchange. I have experienced it myself and know what it actually looks like. It is the time when you get lots of threats and unwanted stuff to your address. On top of that, once it gets installed on your PC it blocks off the access to browser settings so you cannot feasibly change them.
