Web Waltz is just an unreliable advertisement-supported program that you must remove from your Windows operating system. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have discovered that the threat can affect Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and the older versions of Google Chrome browsers.

This is too big of a risk, and you should do whatever it takes to delete malware successfully. Read more »

However, we stress the fact that PathMaxx serves only to financially benefit the company itself and has nothing unique to offer to the user. In essence, PathMaxx is an adware application; thus, it should be removed, because SuperWeb does not review the adverts before promoting them. Read more »
