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.
The following softwares were downloaded from www.appround.biz (Performersoft LLC) and both contain adwares:
PCPerformerSetup.exe and BestCodecsPack.exe
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
These files were scan at websites https://www.virustotal.com and http://virusscan.jotti.org.
Use the programs below to remove www.appround.net/pcperformer and the other unwanted programs that were installed on your computer by this software:
After downloading these programs, ensure that you close all web browsers. Run the "Avast Browser Cleanup" program first, and then the "AdwCleaner" program. You will be asked to reboot your computer, please do so, in order to completely remove WebCake and the other unwanted programs from your computer.

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.

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?
MALWAREBYTES does not detect or get rid of apprond pop ups and slow pc. avg doesn't detect nr does windows essetalsl
Dunno if anyone else has experienced this, but just a while ago when I opened up bittorrent, a task - named something like "pcperformer bittorrent", just smaller than 700 kB - was downloading. I don't ever recall opening a torrent file or clicking a magnet link associated with that task, so I removed it without hesitation. Now I'm left to wonder - is this some kind of a newer, more aggressive breed of trojans?
Try ESET antivirus. Download the trial version. See link below or google it.
Hello currently I am have trouble in trying to get rid of two bits of Malware from my Hotmail server and computer in general The two I refer to are ad.appround.net and ad.yieldmanager.com You have recommended downloading Malwarebytes which I have had on my computer for some time now and I find it very very good. However, I just can not seem to get rid of this Malware. Can you please suggest some thing else that will work. Thank you.
Try ESET. Go to http://www.eset.com/, download and install the trial version. Do a full scan of your computer after the installation.
