| Category Description: |
Program that delivers advertisements on your PC.
Note that many websites have their own advertising, unrelated to adware.
Adware is any software application in which advertising is displayed while the program is running. The authors of these applications include additional code that delivers the ads, which can be viewed through pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on a computer screen and sometimes through text links or in integrated search results. Adware may or may not track personal information. It may also gather information anonymously or in aggregate only. Users should check the EULA and Privacy policy to ensure if the adware on their machines conforms to their standards. |
| Comment: |
This is installed via P2P programs. It's suppose to speed up searches - but you are directed to a portal, not of your choice.
UCmore is an Internet Explorer toolbar. When shown, it displays links to other sites it deems connected to the current page |

| Manual Removal: |
Remove the folder
C:\Program Files\TheSearchAccelerator\
UCmore
The Add/Remove Programs option works reasonably well but leaves behind an empty 'UCmore' folder in Program Files, and keys HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\53CBEE82-D747-11D3-9ED0-005004189684 and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\UCmore in the registry. |
