Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions

What is apple.com-shield-devices[.]live?

apple.com-shield-devices[.]live (or "apple.com-shield-device[.]live") is a deceptive website used to promote a potentially unwanted application (PUA). When opened, the site states that it has detected viruses and encourages visitors to remove them with the Cleanup My Mac app.

Do not trust this web page or the app advertised on it. This is simply a scam site used to trick people into installing one of many dubious applications. These sites are often opened by PUAs, which are already installed on operating systems or browsers.

What is feed.getlive.news?

feed.getlive.news is a fake search engine promoted via a potentially unwanted application (PUA) called Get Live News, which can be downloaded from the getlive.news website. This app promotes feed.getlive.news by changing the settings of a hijacked browser.

Furthermore, PUAs usually collect various browsing data. According to the developers of Get Live News, this app supposedly finds news sites and provides an improved search experience.

What is chainthorn.com?

Similar to dancewithlittleredpony.com, freeonlinepdftools.com, thegoodcaster.com, and many others, chainthorn.com is yet another rogue website designed to feed users with dubious content and redirect them to other dubious sites.

Research shows that many users arrive at chainthorn.com inadvertently, as they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) and intrusive advertisements delivered by other rogue sites.

Furthermore, PUAs often infiltrate computers without users' consent and, as well as causing redirects, deliver intrusive advertisements and record information relating to browsing activity.

What is GeneralNetSearch?

The GeneralNetSearch application is identical to GlobalTechSearch, Resourcetools, and SimpleProExtension. These apps supposedly provide features to enhance the browsing experience, however, they are simply adware-type apps that deliver unwanted ads and force users to visit dubious websites.

When a search query is entered, GeneralNetSearch redirects users to a third party web page and then opens a list of search results generated by Google. Typically, people download and install these apps unintentionally.

What is Get Easy Templates?

Get Easy Templates is a deceptive application that, according to the developers, allows access to templates for various documents.

Judging on appearance alone, Get Easy Templates may seem legitimate and useful, however, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) and a browser hijacker. There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) installation without users' consent; 2) stealth modification of browser options, and; 3) data tracking.

What is pushsroutg[.]com?

pushsroutg[.]com is a rogue website. As with many others of this type (such as dancewithlittleredpony[.]com, finderient[.]com, thegoodcaster[.]com, etc.), it redirects visitors to other untrustworthy websites and might also display dubious content.

In most cases, people do not intentionally open these sites - they are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on the system. PUAs also gather browsing data and display intrusive ads.

What is chanelets-aurning.com?

chanelets-aurning.com is a deceptive website that shares similarities with dancewithlittleredpony.com, newsfile.club, finderient.com, and many others. This website feeds users with dubious content and redirects them to other dubious sites.

Many visitors arrive at chanelets-aurning.com inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) and intrusive advertisements displayed on other rogue sites. PUAs usually infiltrate computers without users' consent. As well as causing redirects, they deliver intrusive advertisements and gather information relating to browsing activity.

What is feed.get-maps.com?

The get-maps.com website promotes a potentially unwanted application (PUA), a browser hijacker called Get Maps. This browser application supposedly provides maps, images, and a search engine, however, it promotes a fake search engine called feed.get-maps.com.

To promote this search engine, browser hijackers change browser settings. In addition, PUAs usually collect browsing data.

What is free3dadultgames[.]com?

The free3dadultgames[.]com website offers adult content: games, videos, pictures, and so on. It is stated that playing these games does not require any downloads. To use services provided by free3dadultgames[.]com, however, visitors are asked to create a supposedly free account.

Note that this site displays various ads and might inject computers with malicious programs. Furthermore, the services (games, videos, and other content) are not free of charge.

What is dancewithlittleredpony[.]com?

dancewithlittleredpony[.]com is a rogue website designed to feed people with dubious content and redirect them to other rogue sites. It is virtually identical to dozens of other rogue sites, such as thegoodcaster.com, freshaudio.net, and finderient.com.

Most visitors arrive at dancewithlittleredpony[.]com inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements encountered on other rogue sites. PUAs typically infiltrate computers without users' consent, cause redirects, generate advertisements, and monitor browsing activity.
