Technical Details

Favoriteman was the first product Mindset Interactive created. Like many other Spyware vendors, Mindset changed their name and built up new sites to get a clean track record. Their most recent name was F1Organizer.

Known modifications and name changes are F1Organizer, ATPartners, SpyAssult and Windows Help 4 Smart Browsing.

It appears however that Mindset Interactive has closed down all their sites and operations.

F-Secure still detects Favoriteman because it still exists in the wild. Even though the components are no longer harmful, they add additional payload to your browser.

Mindset Interactive also created NetPal. Read the description of NetPal here:
