    At best a PUP, but more probably a keylogger developed by the Russian secret service, who also push the spyware browser on its citizens. The logo of the Punto Switcher is best understood as a huge eye that desperately wants to spy on you. It's been heavily advertized wherever possible, and many people ended up installing it... for a short while. What a handly little program, this Punto Ыцшесрук!

Apart from spyware and browser hijack attempt, Punto Switcher has a global bug that applies to many fps games, wherein the WASD movement occasionally gets registered incorrectly. Happened to me in source games, titanfall, apex, and some others for years, and I finnally tracked this bug to punto.
