Preliminary information
Before you enter the live tutorial, walking to spiegare how to remove WebDiscover from your computer, it seems only right to provide you with more information on the program in question.
As I told you at the beginning of the guide, WebDiscover is essentially a browser which promises users who use it to browse the Net directly from the desktop, using a toolbar This is visible at the top of the screen (which cannot be closed), offering several additional features, such as a VPN function, games, weather forecast etc. Once recalled, being based on Google Chrome, the WebDiscover browser has a user interface quite similar to that of the famous Google home navigator.
WebDiscover has an official website, from which it can be downloaded, but often its installation takes place automatically with that of other programs, in which it is incorporated (in a subtle way or, even, without the user being able to express his explicit dissent).
It should be noted, then, that trying to use the program to surf the Net, this can redirect to fake Internet sites, show intrusive advertisements and collect various navigation information, including visited Web pages and search queries, which, subsequently, are shared with third-party companies, with all the consequent risks on the privacy front.
For the above reasons, WebDiscover is actually classified as adware, i.e. a particular type of malware, ie "bad" software, which has the purpose of hijacking the victim on advertising content.
