Hello guys and gals. Did something called AppEnable appear on your system? AppEnable appears to be a variant of CrossRider that I blogged about previously. If AppEnable is installed and running on your computer, you will spot a toolbar with YouTube, Twitter, eBay and Flickr links. I’ll show how to remove AppEnable in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.

Here’s how AppEnable appears in Firefox and Internet Explorer:

Here’s a screenshot from the the AppEnable EULA. It clearly shows that AppEnable is adware:

AppEnable is bundled in other software’s installers. When I first found AppEnable, it was bundled with a “Skype” download that was digitally signed by Astro Delivery.

When I play around with some new bundled software I always upload it to VirusTotal to check if the anti-virus progams there find anything suspicious. Of the 51 scanners, 9 detected the file. AVG reports AppEnable as BrowseFox.F, F-Prot detects it as W32/A-0909c198!Eldorado and NANO-Antivirus classifies it as Trojan.Win32.BPlug.ddwtte.

Removing AppEnable is a piece of cake with FreeFixer. Just check the AppEnable files for removal and then click the Fix button and the problem will be solved.

Hope this helped you solved the AppEnable problem.

Did you also find AppEnable on your machine? Any idea how it was installed? Please share by posting a comment. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you for reading and welcome back.
