The FamilyGurus application that is offered on Familygurus.com and freeware installers is similar to BabyMegs and BabyBrowse and may offer family advice to PC users that want to form a strong bond with their loved ones. Users may wish to install the FamilyGurus application to access content from Emeraldinsight.com, Familylives.org.uk, and Goodhousekeeping.com as soon it becomes available and receive email and SMS alerts. However, the FamilyGurus application is an adware, and its primary objective is to push marketing content on your screen that may be related to parenting and family management. You should not provide your P.O. Box, email address and phone number to the handlers of the FamilyGurus adware to avoid receiving spam and phishing emails.
Security experts reveal that the FamilyGurus adware may use DLL, XPI, CRX and BHO files to alter the way your Internet browser renders Web pages and inject ads bypassing ad-blockers you may have installed. The FamilyGurus adware may display banners with content from sponsors and change your new tab settings to host commercials. Additionally, the FamilyGurus adware may show pop-up and pop-under windows with promotional materials that are related to your search terms when you are using Google, Yahoo and Bing. Many users may prefer to surf the Internet without having to close the numerous pop-up ads displayed by FamilyGurus. The FamilyGurus adware may run as a system service; users may find FamilyGurus running in the Windows Task Manager but may not be able to delete it. The FamilyGurus adware may write an entry in the Windows Registry to protect its executable from being removed by users and third-party programs. Security experts advise users to install a trustworthy anti-malware instrument that can purge the FamilyGurus adware from their system without damaging their Windows Registry.
