The website "www.appround.biz" or "www.appround.net," claims that their software can, prevent your computer from crashing, speed up your computer, protect your privacy, speed up memory and disk performance. But, after downloading their software and scanning it for malicious programs, I found two adware.
Currently, please do not download and install any software from www.appround.biz or www.appround.net.

Both files contain the following adwares (anti-virus software ESET reported both adwares):
1: Comodo ApplicUnwnt.Win32.AdWare.IBrain.C2: ESET-NOD32 a variant of Win32/InstallBrain.B 20120814

Thats why i use linux.
I got badly infected with appround.us, Open It, Right Surf and Adaware after a failed install of the PAID FOR version of Teracopy!!Teracopy DO have a tech support section but DO NOT respond to any issues relating to the infected installer - which was downloaded directly from their own company site - not a third party.And they DO NOT refund the $20 USD for the failed Teracopy download either.BEWARE!!
I believe www.appround.us is the same folks.
Appround.biz is on a page on my new laptop but when I click on x to get rid of it it wont let me do anything apart from ok to install codec how do I get round it
Try these antivirus software:Comodo: Click here to downloadESET Free Trial: Click here to download
The infestation from appround. is causing popups and slow down and malwarebytes doesn't detect it nor avg nor windows essentials. i saw the codecs ad and brazilian girl dd in downloads folder, don't know how they were dowloaded. Will me deleting from file location on pc get rid of them or is there a removal tool?
