Remove Web helper

Web helper is the name of a parasite software that  we might as well consider as malicious too, mainly because it doesn’t clearly explains the user what the program will do before it’s installed.

Web helper was created with two goals in mind: to show as much ads as possible when we’re browsing the net and to collect important data about us.

Besides ruining your browsing experience, Web helper is also capable of record your web activity by saving key words you used on searches and also recording every website you visit. This unwanted program goes as far as scanning the contents of your computer, according to them (or so they say in their official website), all this data is used for statistics purposes only. The truth is that they save all this data in databases they can sell afterwards to companies interested in such profiles.

Web helper as many other adware is installed while you install some free program, usually a fake video player found in a streaming website, or a fake update, and in some cases it’s found attached to freeware offered in download platforms like soft32.com, softonic.com or download.com. These websites add it because they get a commission every time Web helper is successfully installed.
