The sudden presence of pop-ups is never a good sign. In this particular case, seeing the NAVIGATION.IWATCHAVI.COM pop-up ads only means one thing – a virus. Why are you currently bombarded with commercials? Because at some point in the recent past some adware-type infection or a potentially unwanted program (PUP) got to you. As you know already, cyber parasites are incredibly sneaky, very secretive and very problematic. There is simply no plausible scenario in which ignoring the problem instead of solving it ASAP would be a good idea. Then why hesitate? Adware becomes more harmful as time passes. That means you have to take action right now. As soon as the machine gets compromised, you will notice a brand new browser extension. Obviously, it was added behind your back. Thanks to this malicious extension or add-on, all your browsers are modified. They now serve hackers’ purposes and trust us when we say, hackers’ purposes and yours have absolutely nothing in common. Once the parasite invades your machine, it practically takes control over your entire browsing experience. Apart from the browser extension which generates pop-ups, you might come across other third-party commercials or even software updates. The one thing they all have in common? They are all unreliable. Hackers make money by displaying sponsored pop-ups and yes, the NAVIGATION.IWATCHAVI.COM pop-ups are sponsored. The problem is, you will stumble across both real and fake commercials. Some of them lead to safe websites and some lead directly to malware. There’s no telling which pop-up is corrupted and which one is not unless you click. However, does that seem like a risk worth taking? It is not. As we mentioned, this stubborn adware/pup will keep on flooding your PC screen with ads till the very moment you delete it. The NAVIGATION.IWATCHAVI.COM website is just the advertising platform that brings the pop-ups to you. Having said that, it isn’t a virus itself. The virus has already been successfully downloaded and is now lurking quietly somewhere on your machine. If there’s something worse than having an infection on board it is having one without knowing it. The adware/pup is quite stealthy. It is also dangerous. Hackers are after revenue; they don’t have a single reason whatsoever to take care of your safety. What may happen to your device once you click a malicious web link is your problem and yours only. As if that wasn’t enough, the parasite is also famous for spying on your personal data. It mainly monitors IP addresses, email addresses, passwords, usernames, search queries, etc. but if you’re unlucky enough, you might have your bank account monitored as well. Identity theft has never been a threat to be taken lightly. To protect your privacy, proceed to remove this nuisance.

How did I get infected with?

No, you probably didn’t install the virus voluntarily. Cyber infections tend to apply sneaky techniques in order to get installed. A notoriously efficient at the moment virus distribution method is called freeware/shareware bundling. It allows hackers to fill in your PC with all kinds of infections. Adware and potentially unwanted programs are indeed very tricky but some much more virulent infections travel the Web bundled too. Do you want to install a Trojan horse or some vicious ransomware-type parasite? No? Then always check out the bundled programs you download off of the Internet. Such a thorough check will both prevent virus installation and save you time in the long run. Also, instead of simply clicking “I accept”, you should actually read the Terms and Conditions of the software you install. Same piece of advice goes for the EULA (End User License Agreement). Don’t skip installation steps unless you’re deliberately trying to cause your very own computer serious damage.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Thanks to the browser extension added by the virus, you can no longer trust any of your browsers. That includes Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. All of them are now injected with the never-ending NAVIGATION.IWATCHAVI.COM pop-ups. As mentioned, these commercials exhibit a long list of malicious traits. The pop-up ads are intrusive, irritating, utterly useless and potentially harmful. Improving your online shopping experience was never really these nasty commercials’ goal. To prevent further harm, stay away from anything brought to you by the parasite. This nuisance redirects you, serves as a back door to malware and effectively disturbs your online experience on a daily basis. Of course, the adware/pup can inflict immense damage on your once infection-free computer. Therefore, it’s highly recommended to get rid of it quickly. To delete this pest for good, please follow the detailed manual removal guide that you will find down below.
