Web Warden

Web Warden might look like a very useful application because it claims to be able to recognize dangerous websites. If you click on a malicious link, Web Warden will warn you. Even though the program seems very useful, the truth is that it is not perfect, which means that it might treat decent websites as dangerous. In addition, our security experts have found out that it might show pop-ups and various commercial advertisements on your screen. Ads will bother you if you visit Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browsers because the program itself is compatible with all of them. Unfortunately, all these advertisements might take you to corrupted websites and even disrupt your browsing session, which is why we believe that you should delete Web Warden from the system. You will not miss this application because it is not the one that can be trusted. Read more »
