WordAnchor Removal Guide

WordAnchor is yet another adware program that is marketed in a misleading way to lure naïve Internet users into downloading and installing a worthless program. On its official website, this adware program is advertised as a program which should make searching and translating the information you find online easy. While it sounds like a great program to have, you must know that, in reality, this ad-supported program only causes major disruptions every single time you browse the web. If you are looking for an application to improve your online experience, WordAnchor is definitely not the one that you should use; in fact, this adware holds no valuable features whatsoever and should be removed in order to stop all the invasive activities that it provides. Read the rest of this article to find out how you can boost your virtual security and why the removal of this adware is crucial.

As soon as WordAnchor enters your operating system, it will start a suspicious third-party system service called wasvc.exe. This invasive system service will be started without any notification. All of the unwanted third-party web content will be presented due to this intrusive background system service. In most cases, the unwanted content manifests itself as various third-party commercial ads and annoying pop-ups. This activity is extremely annoying, as all of this content will be presented to you in an utterly random way. All in all, the invasive activity that this adware promotes will make browsing the web the way you are used to impossible, because you will need to close numerous banner ads and pop-ups every single time you want to browse the web. It has to be noted that just killing the malicious system service via Task Manager will not stop the invasive activity entirely, since it has been found that it restarts with each system startup. This means that the only way that you can terminate this activity is by conducting a complete removal of WordAnchor.

Just a few preventative steps can boost your virtual security, thus reducing the risk of getting your PC infected with some Internet-based infection. It is important to stay away from various third-party download websites since they provide bundled installers, which are known to be the primary source of various adware programs and other potentially harmful applications. Also, you are advised to learn about the program that you desire to have before even downloading it, since quite a few other questionable programs are also advertised in a devious way nowadays. Lastly, but most importantly, make sure to implement a professional antimalware tool that would warn you about any suspicious installers or websites. It would basically provide overall system security at all times, making your PC virtually unbreakable.

It is imperative to execute the removal of WordAnchor as soon as possible because that is the only way you can restore the standard functionality of your web browser. It is important to remove every single file and registry entry associated with WordAnchor. Also, it is important to conduct an in-depth analysis of your PC once you have executed the manual removal. If you find such analysis too complicated, we advise you to delete this adware application by using a reliable antimalware tool.
