When you hear an application name like WhiteWindow, you start to wonder what this program may do at all. We have the answer for you: nothing -- at least, nothing useful for you. As a matter of fact, this app is a simple ad-supported program, i.e., adware. Once installed, it may start showing annoying third-party advertisements while you are trying to peacefully surf the web. This adware can totally ruin your browsing routine. Not only that, but it may also pose a threat to your computer. Third-party ads displayed by adware programs cannot ever be fully trusted. One click on a potentially corrupt ad and you might end up on a malicious website and be scammed. Knowing the risks of having such adware on your computer can help you act correctly in order to protect your PC. The first step you should take towards a secure system is to remove WhiteWindow. After that, you should scan your system to see if there is any other infection left. But let us see first what kind of threat this adware means to your computer.
If WhiteWindow has found a way to your system, it is quite likely that it had companions when it entered. You cannot download this useless program directly from its official website because it does not seem to exist. The most probable way for this adware to appear on your computer is via freeware bundles. We have found that WhiteWindow can be distributed together with other malware infections in the same bundle. Although not all bundles are unsafe or questionable, the ones that are promoted on suspicious freeware hosting websites most commonly are. Therefore, we advise you to stay away from such sites and always use reliable and reputable sites to download software from. If you install an infectious bundle, it is not sufficient to delete WhiteWindow only; you also need to check your system for other threats.
This adware does not install browser extensions, but, instead, it operates through a service called WhiteWindow.exe that runs in the background. We have noticed that WhiteWindow is actually identical to PrintOnKey, SmartPurple, and Istreamer, which are all worthless ad-supported programs. This adware has only one real function, and that is to fill your computer screen with banner and pop-up ads. However, these ads might present to you certain dangers. The truth is that the creators of this app do not take any responsibility for the third-party content you may be exposed to by clicking on the ads. Therefore, it is possible to get redirected to unsafe websites. Cyber criminals might exploit such adware and corrupt links to take you to their malicious sites. Only by removing WhiteWindow can you avoid landing on such sites that could be rather detrimental to your system.
We hope you understand now the need and urgency of getting rid of this useless adware. So let us share with you the how. As a matter of fact, it is quite easy to remove WhiteWindow from your computer since it has its own uninstaller. Please use our guide below if you are not familiar with the uninstallation process via Control Panel. Also, remember that this adware may only be the tip of the "malwareberg." Thus, you need to run a full system scan for which you can use a free online malware scanner. But be careful to use a reliable one. If the scan returns with a report that shows multiple threats on your computer, we recommend installing a reliable antimalware program, such as SpyHunter. Protect your PC now. Why wait until it is too late?
