ErrorFix Kit, Potentially Superfluous Software.

Some legitimate programs like ErrorFix Kit can be classified as superfluous, they are not necessarily necessary for the functioning of the system and sometimes even unwanted.

More specifically, the ErrorFix Kit program falls into the category of software that can optimize the performance of your system. It can be installed via downloading repackaged freeware. It displays system alerts and offers the purchase of a paid version to resolve problems. Some security solutions classify this software as Potentially Unwanted Optional Software (PUP/LPI), others as Riskware.


This program is classified as Potentially Unnecessary Software (LPS). It installs as a program and/or as a browser extension. It can start automatically from the Registry via a "Run" key, a service or a scheduled task. It may launch when you start your browser after changing its settings. Sometimes the launch is done silently, that is to say it works in the background. The virus analysis of this software does not show any malware detection.


These are mostly legitimate programs that may not be necessary for your system to function properly. The multiplication of programs launched at system startup can cause delays in the execution of ordinary system tasks but also when browsing the Internet. Note that some programs come from downloads with repackaging, a technique which consists of offering other software during installation. These additional programs are obviously superfluous, they can even be installed without your knowledge. It is recommended to read the EULA before installing packaged software. Before clicking, check the relevance of the pre-checked boxes offered to you.


This software falls into the category of system optimization software. It installs as a program or as a browser extension and usually loads into the registry every time the system starts. It can launch services, start scheduled tasks and create shortcuts on your Desktop. All these operations are done with your consent according to the terms of its user contract.

Potentially Unwanted Software (PUP/LPI) can launch services, start scheduled tasks, and create shortcuts on your Desktop. All these operations are done with or without your consent according to the terms of its user contract. Once installed, an LPI can modify certain parameters of your browsers such as search pages, the start page or even your error page. It can collect your browsing habits and communicate them to a server using the tracking method. While browsing, it may display advertisements (coupons) and advertising banners (popups). The goal of this program is often to make money by generating web traffic to sponsored sites.


Potentially unwanted software (LPI) or Potentialy Unwanted Programs (PUP) are the cause of many infections. The most common example is adware. InstallCore, Crossrider, Graftor ou Boxore which pollute the Registry and your data storage units. They are usually installed without your knowledge by downloading freeware. Indeed some sites use the repackaging method, an operation which consists of redoing the software installation module by adding download options. These options allow you to add other software such as browser toolbars, adware, potentially unwanted software, intrusive advertising software, or even browser hijackers.


Spyware (spyware) and adware (adwares) unwanted files, just like malware, can use the writing flaws of legitimate software or those of operating systems. It is therefore essential to have official software and that it has automatic updating. Likewise, your Windows operating system must be programmed in automatic update mode and activated, so that you can have the latest updates for critical security vulnerabilities.
