Nowadays there are so many diverse content on the Web that an unprepared user can get a fair amount of shock. It will be very difficult for an inexperienced user to find any necessary information in tons of junk from the world of “file storage”. You also need to know where what lies. Unfortunately, there are not so many solutions that facilitate a person’s access to the necessary information.
One of the programs that can somehow organize and catalog Internet data is the uBar program. What is this program and how to use it? We’ll talk about this now.
What is uBar?
In fact, this utility is a catalog of entertainment content: video and audio programs. With its help, you can easily find and download various multimedia files to your computer or install some third-party program. Its trick is that there are almost no analogues.
The one who created it is definitely a genius. However, the developer does not advertise his name and prefers to remain in the shadow of the fake company he created. And soon you will understand why. This program may well be useful to those who are just starting to get acquainted with the great and terrible Network. Nevertheless, the uBar phenomenon is incomprehensible. What is it?
Malicious software, someone’s evil joke or application worthy of attention? A specific answer to this question does not yet exist. But let's take a closer look at this interesting utility.
Program interface
Everything is indecently simple here. After installing and starting the program, the user will be able to observe its main screen. Categories will also be displayed there: movies, TV shows, news, music, radio, VKontakte social network, Yandex.Music service, books, torrents and much more. We must pay tribute to the developer: everything is laid out on the shelves competently.
Just select a category and the user will have access to billions of files. But that is not all. Each file has a detailed description and even reviews from other users. This is already on the verge of fiction. Very interesting section uBar "Games".
Here you will find not only shooters, fighting games, strategies and other delights of the gaming industry, but also casual puzzles, quests in the spirit of "Hidden Objects" and even plain toys for children. This is the appearance and structure of the uBar program. That this is very convenient is already understandable. But how does it work?
There are several interesting user comments on the program that will help you understand the real state of things. And by the way, those reviews that are on the official website are the explicit paid work of several copywriters. For everything there is too rosy. And the syllable is very familiar. So, users claim that the program works very badly on any version of the operating system.
It’s good that this utility is not available under Mac and Linux. So far, this is a headache only for Microsoft Windows users. However, let's talk more about the program. What exactly did users not like?
Program work
It is worth noting that this utility works surprisingly well. Thanks to the company search, finding the desired file in tons of content is very simple. You can also download it to your PC in one click. However, annoying advertising bothers. This is a standard flaw in all indie apps. But here, the ad just haunts the user literally everywhere.
Often statistics do not work. But, strangely enough, the program copes with its main task. What an honor and praise to the developer. As for optimization with the device’s operating system, everything is generally bad here. The program often glitches, freezes.
It is unclear why the application creates a tray icon, on the desktop, in the taskbar and places the branded search area at the very top of the desktop. All this suspiciously resembles the operation of malware. Let's continue to disassemble uBar. What is this all the same? A cunning virus or a normal utility?
Audio and video plugin uBar
So we got to the most unpleasant part of our opus. There is one component in the program called "Audio and Video Plugin". But this is only one appearance. When seriously considered, this very component turned out to be a very unpleasant "malware" (virus software).
It forces the browser search to produce the wrong results, spontaneously directs the user to sites that are completely unnecessary to him, terribly slows down the computer, randomly downloads something from the Web and the devil knows what else the user does on the machine. The worst part is that removing uBar (even completely) does not get rid of this software.
Only powerful anti-virus products like Kaspersky, NOD or Doctor Web can help here. Now it’s clear why the developer of this program chose to save incognito. For such cases, the lion's share of users on the head would not have patted him.
How to delete?
The trouble is that uninstalling the program in the usual way is not possible. How to remove uBar from computer completely? To do this, go to the "Control Panel", point "Programs and Features" and find there all the lines that have the word uBar in their name. You need to remove each application in turn. But that is not all.
If you do not check your operating system with antivirus after removal, there is a very big chance that after rebooting the machine the program will again be in its usual place. And this is not the worst. Sometimes this same uBar bites into the system so that only a complete reinstallation helps. So you need to think a hundred times before you start using this program. It is fraught with consequences.
Conclusion
So, we looked at a rather controversial utility for finding a variety of content on the Internet. What can be said about her in the end? This program, in fact, is a skillfully disguised virus that seriously harms the user's computer. If you are thinking of installing uBar and trying to work with it, then get these thoughts out of your head!
The developer clearly knew what he was doing. Therefore, it is not known who actually created the program and awarded it with malware. However, the idea was good. A full-fledged utility of such a plan could greatly help untrained users on the Web. After all, to search for the desired content in it in a standard "browser" way is sheer torment.
