Just wanted to write a short blog post before going back to programming. Today I wanted to talk about an adware<\/strong> called PennyBee<\/strong> and thought I should give you some removal instructions<\/strong>. PennyBee appears to be a variant of the\u00a0Linkury adware<\/a><\/strong>. If PennyBee is running on your system, you will spot PennyBee.exe<\/strong> and PennyBeeW.exe<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

\"pennybee.exe<\/a><\/p>\n

PennyBee is bundled<\/strong> 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<\/strong>. This is how PennyBee was disclosed in the\u00a0unofficial Flash Player download’s installer when I found it.<\/p>\n

\"pennybee<\/a><\/p>\n

Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as PennyBee by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

\"pennybee.exe<\/a><\/p>\n

Since you probably want to remove PennyBee<\/strong>, these are the files you should check for removal if you want to remove it with FreeFixer<\/a>. You might have restart your machine to complete the removal. Problem fixed.<\/p>\n

\"pennybee<\/a><\/p>\n

Hope that helped you with the removal.<\/p>\n

Any idea how PennyBee was installed on your machine? Please share by posting a comment. Thank you!<\/p>\n
