Hello readers. Another day, another blog post. Did something called Hold Page appear on your system? This is a variant of CrossRider that I’ve written about many times before. If you have Hold Page installed on your machine, you will see new add-ons installed in Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Nothing was installed in Google Chrome. I’ll show how to remove Hold Page in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.

Hold Page is bundled with other software. Bundled means that it is included in another software’s installer. Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as Hold Page by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer and making sure that you have downloaded the software from the official site and not from some third party.

When I find some new bundled software I normally upload it to VirusTotal to verify if the anti-virus progams there detect something suspicious. 11 of the 55 scanners detected the file. The Hold Page files are detected as BrowseFox.F by AVG, Trojan.BPlug.215 by DrWeb and PUP.Optional.HoldPage.A by Malwarebytes.

If you would like to remove HoldPage you can do so with the FreeFixer removal tool. Here’s a few screengrabs from the removal that should help you: You may have to restart your computer to complete the removal.

Hope this helped you solved the HoldPage problem.

I stumbled upon Hold Page while testing out some downloads that are known to bundled lots of unwanted software. Any idea how Hold Page was installed on your machine? Please share your story the comments below. Thank you very much!

Thanks for reading. Welcome back!

Hello there and welcome to the FreeFixer blog. Did something called HQ-Video-Pro-2.1cV22.10 appear on your machine? HQ-Video-Pro-2.1cV22.10 seems to be a variant of CrossRider that I’ve written about before. If you have HQ-Video-Pro-2.1cV22.10 on your machine, you will find ads labeled powered by HQ-Video-Pro-2.1cV22.10 in Google search results. You will also see new add-ons installed in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. I’ll show how to remove HQ-Video-Pro-2.1c in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.

HQ-Video-Pro-2.1c is bundled with a number of downloads. Bundling means that software is included in other software’s installers. When I first found HQ-Video-Pro-2.1cV22.10, it was bundled with a download called FlvPlayer. Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as HQ-Video-Pro-2.1c by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer.

As usual when I play around with some new bundled software I uploaded it to VirusTotal to test if the anti-malware software there find something. The detection rate is 4/54 which I’d say is pretty low. Some of the detection names for HQ-Video-Pro-2.1cV22.10 are a variant of Win64/Toolbar.Crossrider.L, PUP.Optional.HQVideo.A and Crossrider (fs). The file is signed by “Radon Battery Technologies“.

The HQ-Video-Pro-2.1cV22.10 removal with FreeFixer is pretty straightforward. Check all the HQ-Video-Pro-2.1cV22.10 files/settings for removal and click fix. Here’s a few screenshots from the removal that should help you:

Hope this helped you remove the HQ-Video-Pro-2.1cV22.10 Adware.

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!
