FriendsChecker

Have you installed a new application for Facebook and started seeing advertisements while you are browsing the internet? If yes, you might have FriendsChecker on your system. Even though this application claims to be able to show you a list of people who are no longer friends with you and even much more, it is not as useful as you might think. Instead, it is known that this program might show you annoying pop-ups.

The best what you can do if you want to get rid of this application, is to remove FriendsChecker entirely.

This application is known to be free, which is why it is closely related to advertisements. They are usually shown in order to keep the program free. Pcthreat.com researchers have implemented a study and found out that this application tends to show from one to five pop-up advertisements per page. As one of its main purposes is to promote particular products and services, it is classified as adware, which means that you should be very careful and avoid clicking on these advertisements. Of course, you might ask us why. It is simple – these advertisements might lead you to potential threats because FriendsChecker itself is not responsible for the content and material of those websites. It means that you will never know where you will be redirected if you click on those ads which are displayed.

Thus, you agree to share this information if you install this application.
