Remove Word Wizard

Word Wizard is the name of a potentially unwanted program, which only means that this program is not considered as dangerous by many antivirus software because it’s not a real virus.  It is considered “potentially unwanted” because it’s usually installed very quietly into our systems. Word Wizard infiltrates our computers when we download freeware from the net. By going too fast while installing a new software we might not notice what’s being offered as “optional” and we end up installing Word Wizard having no clue of what we did. This is why the best weapon we have to protect ourselves from these issues is to be aware and careful of what we do with software coming from the internet.

Once it has been installed, Word Wizard will immediately start doing what it was conceived for: broadcasting non-stopping ads in every website we visit and spy on our every move online.

These ads can be seen as unexpected pop-ups, banners, or green/blue underlined words within the text of every website you visit.

Another characteristic of Word Wizard‘s ads is that they are usually tagged as Powered by Word Wizard, Word Wizard Ads or some other label like these. It’s through these labels that most people realize they have been infected with an adware.

As told before, if you have been infected with Word Wizard, everything you do online is constantly followed and registered. This adware saves different information about you like your OS version, information about your browser, websites you visit, searches you make, your geographical setting, IP address, among other data that can help identify you.

Even though Word Wizard has its own official website, it’s impossible to download the program there. Without doubt this website was only conceived to give an appearance of a legitimate software, plus they needed a place to publish their conditions of use where their malicious tasks are explained.

Do take into consideration that you have given your full approval to all those conditions by installing the software, it doesn’t matter if you did it on purpose or not.
