      Superfluous Software

      Softonic, Potentially Superfluous Software (LPS).

      Some programs or applications like Softonic can be described as superfluous. These are mostly legitimate programs that may not be necessary for your system to function properly.

      They install as a program and/or as a browser extension. They can start automatically from the Registry via a "Run" key, a service or a scheduled task.

Virus analysis of this software does not show any malicious detection. Learn More
