Download Manager Star is a potentially unwanted application and an adware that, according to its promotional text, may interest the users who want to download software and media from the web. Despite the fact that the program performs the functions of a download manager, it also has features of an adware.

How to uninstall (remove) Search.yahoo.com redirect

Search.yahoo.com itself cannot be reckoned among malware of any type. The page itself is an ordinary search engine that has no harmful features. However, one should think for a possibility of getting a hijacker if this page has been installed as the main one without his/her consent, since many browser hijackers appear to use this page as their disguise. In this case, though the site is legitimate and can be used without worries, we do not recommend relying on it.

How to uninstall (remove) Web Bar

Web Bar is a Potentially Unwanted Application and an adware that is presented in a way of a toolbar inserted to your desktop and allowing to initiate the search queries right from it.

Web Bar malware activity includes adding files and registry entries, and installing browser add-ons in order to show ads.

How to uninstall (remove) Easy Calendar
