WebWatch Removal Guide

WebWatch is an ad-supported program that can put your system at risk by displaying potentially dangerous third-party ads. This is a free application that claims to “let you view insightful reports of who's tracking you,” which might sound beneficial for you, but when you might get exposed to unreliable ads, it may not be worth it after all. Why would you have an application on your computer that might cause system security issues? Why not find a reliable one instead? But are you sure at all that this adware was installed by you knowingly? Or did it simply sneak onto your computer in a freeware bundle? If so, your problems may be multiple, and removing WebWatch will only be the first move towards securing your virtual realm.

We have found that WebWatch is virtually identical to LightsOff and LightsOn adware applications. This adware has an official website at usewebwatch.com, which is rather simple. However, if you have a malware protection tool running on your computer, you will have a problem trying to download the app from there. Your attempt will be blocked right away by your security software. Unfortunately, if you have no protection or not an up-to-date one, you will not have this red flag event to signal you that the application you want is not safe to use at all. But, to be honest, we do not think that you would ever find this website anyway. Try to Google WebWatch and you will see what we mean. The name is made up of so generally used words that it is impossible to find the website among the search results.

That is why the creators need to use a different way to spread their “gold mine” so that it can reach a lot of users. This “magical” way is none other than free software bundling. Depending on who the distributor is, the content of these bundles may vary. That is how it is possible to find ones that are packed with malware with the obvious intention of getting users’ computers infected. If you have installed such a package, you still have a chance to free your system of these threats: After deleting WebWatch, you need to run a full system scan and deal with the result. It may be time for you to acquire a trustworthy antimalware program in order to avoid such malware attacks.

WebWatch does not install browser extensions as it uses a service to operate through. That is how it can present you with third-party ads in all major browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome as well. However, these ads may not only be annoying, they might also be a source of danger. Do you know what may happen if you land on an unsafe website by clicking on a potentially corrupted ad? Apart from being fooled to download some fake driver updater that will infect your system with more malware, it is also possible to be scammed different ways to reveal your banking details, for example. If you remove WebWatch, the potential of these scenarios will disappear. But you also need to be careful not to visit unfamiliar or suspicious websites and, more importantly, not to click on any ads offered on such sites.

Getting rid of WebWatch is as easy as ABC. Since this adware has an uninstaller, you can simply uninstall it via Control Panel. Please follow our instructions if you are not familiar with this process. Protecting your computer from infections is very important. These malware programs can cause your computer all kinds of harms. That is why you cannot let them run amok, you need to act right here, right now. The best way to beat these infections is to install a reliable antimalware application.
