22Apple Removal Guide

Do you know what 22Apple is?

22Apple is a website that provides instant access to a list of popular pages such as Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo!, YouTube and so on. In a sense, it functions just as 22Find. It is possible to presuppose that both websites are related because they share almost identical interface. The difference between their home pages (22find.com and 22apple.com) is that 22Find provides browser extension removal instructions and 22Apple does not. The clear things is that 22Apple is not a computer virus, although users should be careful about utilizing this website and browser extension that comes with it, because it might be engaged in collecting personal data and then using it for marketing purposes.

Another thing that could make you suspicious of 22Apple is the fact that its home page does not provide the download link for the application. If you see this website pop up into your browser and you don't remember having installed it, it means that 22Apple was installed and downloaded with another free software program. Bundled downloads is the most common way for 22Apple to get installed on your PC.
