How To Remove OfferBoulevard

Hello there. Found another adware called OfferBoulevard right now. OfferBoulevard seems to be a variant of Linkury. If the OfferBoulevard adware is installed on your system, you will see OfferBoulevard.exe and OfferBoulevardW.exe running in the Task Manager. I’ll show how to remove OfferBoulevard in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.

OfferBoulevard is bundled with other software. Bundled means that it is included in another software’s installer. When I first found OfferBoulevard, it was bundled with FastPlayerPro. Here’s how it appeared in the FastPlayerPro installer where I found it:

For some reason it is called Offer Blvd in the EULA.

Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as OfferBoulevard 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 check if the anti-viruses there detect something fishy. 10 of the 54 anti-virus scanners detected the file. ESET-NOD32 reports OfferBoulevard as a variant of MSIL/Toolbar.Linkury.H, Malwarebytes classifies it as PUP.Optional.Offer and VIPRE detects it as Adware.Linkury (fs).

PennyBee.exe and PennyBeeW.exe – Adware Removal Instructions

Just wanted to write a short blog post before going back to programming. Today I wanted to talk about an adware called PennyBee and thought I should give you some removal instructions. PennyBee appears to be a variant of the Linkury adware. If PennyBee is running on your system, you will spot PennyBee.exe and PennyBeeW.exe running in the Windows Task Manager and a new service installed, triggered to run PennyBee.exe. I’ll show how to remove PennyBee in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.

PennyBee is bundled with other software. Bundled means that it is included in another software’s installer. When I first found PennyBee, it was bundled with a software download named an unofficial Flash Player download. This is how PennyBee was disclosed in the unofficial Flash Player download’s installer when I found it.

Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as PennyBee by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer.

When I find some new bundled software I normally upload it to VirusTotal to test if the anti-virus progams there find something. Of the 54 anti-virus scanners, 26 detected the file. Some of the detection names for PennyBee are a variant of MSIL/Toolbar.Linkury.H, Artemis and Adware.Linkury (fs).
