WeWatcher is an adware tool. It’s a potentially unwanted program, which you shouldn’t allow to stay on your computer. The second you become aware of its presence, delete it! The more you postpone removing it, the bigger the mess it will make. That’s because the application starts wreaking havoc as soon as it slithers its way in and doesn’t stop. Not until you get rid of it entirely. So, by allowing it to remain on your PC, you’re not doing yourself any favors. Quite the contrary, you’re only setting yourself up for a bad time. The first issue the program will throw your way will test your patience. Shortly after infiltration, WeWatcher begins a full-on bombardment of pop-up ads. Each and every time you try to use your browser, you’ll be interrupted by an entire myriad of pop-ups. But that’s just the start of your problems, the mere tip of the iceberg. What follows is a slower computer performance, and also frequent system crashes. And, as if that won’t be enough, you’ll also be forced to deal with both a malware and a security threat. Are you willing to take such a colossal risk for such a worthless, hazardous tool? Don’t gamble. Delete WeWatcher as soon as you possibly can.

How did I get infected with?

WeWatcher relies on the old but gold means of infiltration to sneak into your system undetected. Yes, the tool may be bound to ask for your permission before installation, but that doesn’t slow it down one bit. In fact, you don’t even see it coming. The program is so subtle in its slyness that it manages to dupe you into approving it in while still keeping you oblivious to the fact that you did. More often than not, it hides behind freeware as it’s possibly the easiest way in. That’s because users tend to rush through its install. They pay little to no attention and don’t even read the terms and conditions. Instead, they just say “Yes” to everything, and hope for the best. Well, needless to say, that’s a horrendous idea. They quickly discover just how horrendous when the issues start popping up like snowdrops in the spring. If you wish to keep your system adware-free and prevent hazardous infections like WeWatcher to slither their way in, remember to be more cautious. Don’t rush, and don’t give into naivety and distraction. They’re your enemies, not your friends. They won’t lead to anything good.

Why are these ads dangerous?

WeWatcher is ad-supported. If you’re confused as to what that means exactly, it’s quite straightforward. If the tool is to continue its existence, it has to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that support it. If it fails to produce profits, it ceases to exist as they take it down. Naturally, the application does everything in its power to avoid that fate. Since each ad it dupes you into clicking on makes money for these people, it makes sure each ad you see counts. The program doesn’t just flood you with random ads. Oh, no. The ads you see are selected especially for you and your unique interests. To be better equipped to make the selection of appropriate ads, the tool observes your online habits and studies you. It tries to learn what you like and dislike, what appeals to you. When it’s able to determine which ads will have a better shot at sparking your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash, it floods you with them. Whatever you do, do NOT click on them! If you press even a single one of the program’s pop-ups, all you’ll have to show for it is more malware getting to your system. That’s right. A click equals you unwillingly agreeing to the installation of more malevolent tools. But that’s not even the worst part of getting stuck with WeWatcher. The most unpleasant issue it presents you with is the security risk. Once the application settles in your system, it starts spying on you. It catalogs every move you make while online, and when it deems it has gathered enough data on you, sends it to the individuals behind it. Are you willing to grant access to your personal and financial details to strangers with agendas? It’s up to you to decide whether or not WeWatcher is worth the risk.
