Hello guys and gals. Just a short post on an adware<\/strong> called Cyti Web<\/strong>. This appears to be a variant of BrowseFox<\/strong> that I’ve previously blogged about many times. If Cyti Web is running on your system, you will find new add-on installed into Firefox and Internet Explorer. I’ll show how to remove Cyti Web in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.<\/p>\n

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

CytiWeb is bundled<\/strong> with other software. Bundled means that it is included in another software’s installer. When I first found CytiWeb, it was bundled with a software download called FlvPlayer<\/strong>. The following screen-cap shows how Cyti Web was disclosed in FlvPlayer’s installer when I found it.<\/p>\n

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

As usual when I find some new bundled software I uploaded it to VirusTotal<\/a> to verify if the anti-virus scanners there detect anything interesting. 32 of the scanners detected the file. The Cyti Web files are detected as BrowseFox.F<\/strong> by AVG, ADWARE\/BrowseFox.Gen2<\/strong> by Avira, Trojan.BPlug.144<\/strong> by DrWeb, Artemis<\/strong> by McAfee-GW-Edition, Yontoo.C<\/strong> by Symantec and AdWare.Kranet<\/strong> by VBA32.<\/p>\n

You can remove Cyti Web with the FreeFixer<\/a> removal tool. Here’s a few screenshots that should help you along the way: A restart of your machine might be required to complete the removal. Problem solved.<\/p>\n
