Now let us move on to more relevant information. Our researchers have downloaded and tested this program. Their findings were not very surprising as we actually expected to see something like this. So, the research shows that FLV Blaster can secretly download adware-type programs. It is likely that the adware may come from the Multiplug adware family. We found that it can also get the Findwide Toolbar installed on your computer. It is an unreliable toolbar so you ought to remove it as well. After installing FLV Blaster you can also add its browser extension to Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. The extension seems useless, and we think that its only purpose is to display advertisements, because the developers have to get paid somehow.
