Just wanted to put up a short post before going back to programming on FreeFixer. Today I wanted to talk about an adware named Browsers+Apps+1.1 and give you some removal instructions. Browsers+Apps+1.1 seems to be a variant of CrossRider that I’ve blogged about before. If the Browsers+Apps+1.1 adware is running on your machine, you will see ads tagged Ad by Browsers+Apps+1.1 or Ads by Browsers+Apps+1.1 injected into web pages while you browse and new add-ons in Firefox and Internet Explorer. I’ll show how to remove Browsers+Apps+1.1 in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.
Browsers+Apps+1.1 is distributed by a strategy called bundling. Bundling means that a piece of software is included in other software’s installers.
As always when I find some new bundled software I uploaded it to VirusTotal to check if the anti-virus software there find something suspicious. 16% of the antimalware scanners detected the file. Malwarebytes classifies Browsers+Apps+1.1 as PUP.Optional.BrowsersApp.A, McAfee detects it as CrossRider-FRV and VIPRE detects it as Crossrider (fs).
You probably came here looking for removal instructions for Browsers+Apps+1.1 and you can do so with the FreeFixer removal tool. Just select the Browsers+Apps+1.1 files as the screenshots below shows. A restart of your machine may be required to complete the removal.
Hope that helped you with the removal.
I stumbled upon Browsers+Apps+1.1 while testing out some downloads that are known to bundled lots of unwanted software. Any idea how you got Browsers+Apps+1.1 on your computer? Please let me and the readers know by posting a comments. Thanks!
Hope you found this useful. Thanks for reading.
Hello guys and gals. Today I wanted to talk about an adware called AdvanceElite and give you some removal instructions. AdvanceElite seems to be a variant of BrowseFox that I’ve written about before. If AdvanceElite is installed and running on your machine, you will see ads labeled AdvanceElite Ads in and new add-on called AdvanceElite 1.0.1 in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. I’ll show how to remove AdvanceElite in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.
AdvanceElite is bundled with a number of downloads. Bundling means that software is included in other software’s installers. Here’s one example how it appears in an installer for an unrelated program.
Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as AdvanceElite by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer.
When I play around with some new bundled software I always upload it to VirusTotal to test if the anti-virus tools there find something interesting. Of the 55 anti-virus scanners, 13 detected the file. Some of the detection names for AdvanceElite are BrowseFox.F, PUP.Optional.AdvanceElite.A and Artemis.
You probably came here looking for removal instructions for AdvanceElite and you can do so with the FreeFixer removal tool. Here’s a few screenshots from the removal that should help you: A restart of your system may be required to complete the removal.
Hope this helped you remove the AdvanceElite adware.
Do you also have AdvanceElite on your machine? Any idea how it installed? Please share your story the comments below. Thanks!

I’ll show how to remove Astromenda in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.
Here’s how astromenda.com appears in Internet Explorer:

Just wanted to put up a short post before going back to programming. Today I wanted to talk about an adware called Browser Warden and give you some removal instructions. If the Browser Warden adware is installed on your machine, you’ll spot ads labeled Ads by Browser Warden in Google’s search results and a new add-on installed in Mozilla Firefox. You will also see banners tagged as “Ad by Browser Warden” injected into web pages. I’ll show how to remove Browser Warden in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.
You will probably also see browserwarden-a.akamaihd.net in the browser’s status bar:
BrowserWarden is bundled with a number of downloads. Bundling means that software is included in other software’s installers.
Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as BrowserWarden by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer, but in this case I could not see any disclosure in the installer that bundled Browser Warden.
Here’s the scan results from VirusTotal. It also shows that the signer is Gratifying Apps. GamePlayLabs is one of the detection names.
If you’d like to remove Browser Warden you can do so with the FreeFixer removal tool. Just check the Browser Warden files as shown in the screenshots below. You might have to restart your computer to complete the removal.
Hope that helped you to figure out how to do the removal.

Getting bombarded with survey pop-ups from wiz-survey.com? If so you probably have some unwanted adware installed on your machine that is launching these pop-ups. I got lots of these pop-ups when playing around with a download that bundled some unwanted software.
I removed the wiz-survey.com pop-up ads by uninstalling the adware I had on the lab machine with FreeFixer. In my case, the adware was Browser Warden, BlockAndSurf and TinyWallet. Keep and eye for these in the FreeFixer scan result. Please keep in mind that there may be other adwares that opens these survey pop-ups too.
Are you also getting these wiz-survey.com surveys? How did you get rid of them?
Hello there and welcome to the FreeFixer blog. Today I wanted to talk about an adware called PortalMore that I found a few days ago and give you some removal instructions. PortalMore seems to be a variant of BrowseFox/AltBrowse that I wrote about previously. If the PortalMore adware is installed and running on your computer, you’ll see ads labeled PortalMore Ads inserted into web pages while you browse and new add-ons added in Firefox and Internet Explorer. I’ll show how to remove PortalMore in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.
PortalMore is bundled with a number of downloads. Bundling means that software is included in other software’s installers. This is how PortalMore was disclosed in the installer when I found it:
Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as PortalMore by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer.
As usual when I run into some new bundled software I uploaded it to VirusTotal to check if the anti-viruses there find something. Of the 55 anti-malware scanners, 37 detected the file. Some of the detection names for PortalMore are BrowseFox.F, Application.Win32.Altbrowse.AK and PUP.Optional.PortalMore.A.
All you need to do to remove PortalMore is to check the PortalMore files in the FreeFixer scan result and click the Fix button. You may have to restart your machine to complete the removal. Here’s a few screenshots that should help you along the way:

Here’s another of those misleading ads used to trick you into installing some adware or other types of unwanted software:
“You are currently browsing the web with Firefox and your Video Player might be outdated.”
“You are currently browsing the web with Firefox and it is recommended that you update your video player to the fastest version available. Please update to continue.”
I’m currently playing around with some adware on one of my lab machine. I started to get lots of pop-ups ads from nes.dilutionbarberryplangent.com and I just wanted to let you know how I stopped them.
The nes.dilutionbarberryplangent.com pop-ups where caused by the adware, and by removing them with FreeFixer the pop-up problem stopped. Keep an eye for BlockAndSurf, Browser Warden and TinyWallet in the FreeFixer scan result and remove them. These pop-ups can probably be launched by other adwares as well, so you might need to review the scan result in more detail if the pop-ups remain after uninstalling the 3 adwares mentioned above.
Hope that helped you with the nes.dilutionbarberryplangent.com removal.
Any idea how you got these pop-ups on your machine?
Getting pop-ups from dtw.getupslipperyskullcap.com in Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer? Then it’s likely you have some adware installed on your machine 🙁
I got the dtw.getupslipperyskullcap.com pop-up ads after testing out a download on my lab machine, that I knew bundled some unwanted software. It installed BlockAndSurf, TinyWallet and Browser Warden. After removing these unwanted programs, and a bunch of other unwanted files, with the FreeFixer removal tool, the pop-ups ads stopped. These were the files I also deleted in FreeFixer:
Hope that helped you with the removal.
