WhiteWindow is an adware program that can get installed on your computer alongside software you download from the web for free. WhiteWindow is promoted as a helpful utility giving you access to discounts and coupons for online stores and such.

If you encountered ads tagged “Save Money with WhiteWindow” or “Ads by WhiteWindow” in Chrome, IE, Opera or Firefox, this removal guide will help you to delete WhiteWindow from these browsers.
Terraclicks.com pop-ups and redirects are caused by adware programs that can get onto a user’s computer by bundling with free software from the web. If the user downloads software for free and speeds through the installation without paying much attention, he often ends up installing software he didn’t want in addition to the app he wanted. One of these PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) can happen to bring about terraclicks.com redirects and pop-ups. The pop-ups display terraclicks.com in the address bar but are redirected to other URLs after a second or two. If you encountered this browser behavior and want to get rid of terraclicks.com redirects, this page describes how to do it.
MTView is a potentially unwanted program which usually enters users’ computers when the users download and install free software from freeware websites. After entering the system MTView becomes the default image viewer and causes many pop-ups and redirects to Chinese sites (hao123.com, 999.com, etc.), which can be a hassle for the user. Unfortunately, MTView doesn’t have an entry in Programs and Features and can’t be uninstalled that way. If this has happened to you and you want to get rid of MTView, this page describes how to do it.
Spice Nice is an adware program, distributed by the way of “bundling”: being included into freeware installers. What that means: most free apps when getting installed will install some junkware programs, unless you decline. Spice Nice is one of such programs; it attracts users by promising to enable comparison shopping and provide coupons. In reality, this translates to ads, coupons and pop-ups assaulting you as you browse the web. Spice Nice gathers some of your information such as IP-address, web-sites you visit and your search queries. This data is used to show you more alluring ads and can be passed or sold to other advertisers. If you encountered ads by Spice Nice and want to remove Spice Nice from your computer, this step-by-step guide will help you.
NowUSeeIt Player is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that can get installed on your computer together with free software from the web or, for example, with a Java update. NowUSeeIt Player is a video player to watch videos from popular online platforms like Youtube and Vimeo without any browser. The downside of using NowUSeeIt Player though is constant ads appearing on webpages you visit. The ads might lead you to not so reliable online stores or get you to install questionable software. NowUSeeIt Player keeps track of your browsing activity (pages visited, bookmarks created, etc) and uses these data to customize the ads. Later the data can be transferred to third-party advertising companies. All in all, the sooner you uninstall NowUSeeIt Player, the better.
