iScreeny

By GoldSparrow in Potentially Unwanted Programs

iScreeny is a small application that offers one simple feature. It promises to let you take screenshots easily and send them to your friends quickly. However, there is more than what the description of this software states. This tool is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may cause many changes to web clients. The alterations cannot be defined as 'improvements' at all. iScreeny is known to create additional commercial materials that may come in different formats and large quantities. After the installation of this PUP is complete, no matter what site you open, you may encounter various pop-ups, blinking banners and animations. The unreliable application also may insert videos that don't need any interaction to launch. To boost the traffic towards sponsored pages even more, iScreeny may manipulate the search results. This PUP may even encourage you to use some unknown and questionable search site by placing it as your start page. The main reason not to click on the ads concerns to promoted platforms. The developers of questionable tools like iScreeny may not check the legitimacy of their partners thoroughly. If some of the pages in their partner network host unsafe content, clicking on the ads may result in an infection. The official site of iScreeny has a good page rank and appears in the primary positions, so some users may download the PUP from there. In other cases, the untrustworthy application may enter alongside other programs with a free license. If you wish to remove the unrequested commercial materials that may appear in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, you need to use special security software to delete iScreeny.
