BCHelper.exe - Browser Companion by Blabbers Communications LTD

What is bchelper.exe?

DefaultTabSearch.exe is a part of the BrowserCompanion PUP/Adware. It's not essential for Windows and may cause problems, for example slow down your computer or displays the following error message at Windows startup "BCHelper.exe - system error". Very often this happens because sqlite3.dll is missing or corrupted. What is more, this program runs in the background and periodically checks for updates. It may display advertisements on your computer and download additional adware/spyware onto your computer without your knowledge. It may also collect information about the website you visit and things you like. Later this information may be used to deliver targeted ads to you while you surf the web. ESET, Trendmicro, Malwarebytes and some other anti-malware programs detect this program either as adware or Trojan generic. Usually, it's detected as Win32/BrowserCompanion.A or PUP.Blabbers. I recommend you to remove BCHelper.exe from your computer.

Process Information

DefaultTabSearch.exe - Default Tab by Search Results, LLC

What is defaulttabsearch.exe?

DefaultTabSearch.exe is a part of the Default Tab PUP/Adware. It's not essential for Windows and may cause problems, for example slow down your computer. Most users agree that it's also bad for the browsing experience. It replaces default Chrome, Firefox or any other web browser tab with its own which is basically a fake imitation of Google page. So, if you open a new tab off of Google for instance, you will get a modified tab called Default Tab. The name it's kinda misleading, isn't it? This application comes bundled with freeware, software downloaders and sometimes even crapware. This is probably the reason why McAfee and other antivirus programs block it saying that a Trojan Horse had been detected. Last, but not least, many users need assistance in removing it which isn't a sing of a good product. I recommend you to remove defaulttabsearch.exe from your computer.

BrowserProtect.exe: What you need to know, how to remove it

BrowserProtect.exe: What you need to know, how to remove it

Process Information

BrowserProtect.exe - Application Manager by PerformerSoft LLC

What is browserprotect.exe?

Browserprotect.exe is a part of the Application Manager by PerformerSoft LLC. It was originally developed by Bit89 Inc. First thing to note is that browserprotect.exe is not a technically a virus or malware, it's a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Avast, for example, detects this application as PUP.bProtector. Other antivirus programs detect it as a Trojan. It's a thin line actually but I would say it's a Trojan because it doesn't work as a backdoor and it doesn't steal passwords, etc. Once installed, this application changes default search engine and home pages in all major web browsers. BrowserProtect.exe*32 (Windows 8) protects those settings from changes. In other words, it may be difficult to change your home page or search engine provider, even it's Google or Bing. Some users notice that after they picked up this application their computers became sluggish. It may be associated with adware as well. Sometimes when uninstalling this application users get the following notification: 'browserprotect.exe has stopped working'. You may cause other problems too. All in all, it will do more harm than good, so I suggest you to remove browserprotect.exe from your computer.

File name: browserprotect.exe

File Location Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BrowserProtect\2.6.1249.132\[]\BrowserProtect.exe
File Location Windows 7: C:\ProgramData\BrowserProtect\2.6.1095.52\[]\BrowserProtect.exe

cltmng.exe - Search Protect by Conduit

What is cltmng.exe?

cltmng.exe is a part of the Conduit browser hijacker which specifically targets Chrome and Firefox. It installs an extension that forces users to use Conduit Search (search.conduit.com). Needles to say, it's not essential for Windows and may cause problems. This application will prevent other competing web browser plugins from changing the home page and search settings that are created by Conduit software. It may block any attempt to restore your default search engine and home page. It may slow down your computer, especially when online. Besides, Conduit software displays ads on infected computers and redirects users to search.conduit.com when searching directly through the address bar. I recommend you to remove cltmng.exe from your computer.

File name: cltmng.exe
Publisher: Conduit
File Location Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\SearchProtect\cltmng.exe
File Location Windows 7: C:\users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\SearchProtect\bin\cltmng.exe

Process Information

ibsvc.exe - IBUpdaterService

What is ibsvc.exe?

ibsvc.exe is not essential for Windows and may cause problems. It's a part of InstallBrain Installer software (detected by antivirus companies as Adware.InstallBrain and even Trojan downloader) that is used to install third party applications, for example Yontoo, PC Performer or Babylon. Usually, it's neither essential nor dangerous but it may cause high CPU usage and Windows errors. Since ibsvc.exe is an update service, it's configured to run automatically when Windows starts. It is very often classified either as adware or potentially unwanted software. It can also download and install additional malware onto your computer. Last, but not least, if you have it on your computer then there's a good chance that it came bundled with spyware. ibsvc.exe is not a Windows file and it may slow down your computer, that's why I recommend removing it.

File name: ibsvc.exe
Publisher: InstallBrain Installer
File Location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBUpdaterService\ibsvc.exe
Program Path: C:\ProgramData\IBUpdaterService\ibsvc.exe
