What is 4HD?
4HD is an adware application that is supposed to “enhance your online Vide0 experience" -- at least this is what the program’s main website claims. However, we assure you that the application cannot and does not live up to its promises because it was not built for that. 4HD has been created to promote third-party content and generate income for its developers. Computer users are strongly advised to remove 4HD from their computers, especially if they did not install this program on their own. You have to eliminate all potential security threats.

Where does 4HD come from?
It should be pointed out that adware applications are not computer infections, but they are something you should be wary of because they can make your system vulnerable to actual infections. 4HD is no exception. Although it is possible to download this application from the main website, you have to take into consideration the possibility of a bundled download as well.
4HD’s homepage is located at 4hd.com. The direct download button works just fine, and, as such, it implies that 4HD is a reliable application ready to improve your online video watching experience. However, we should not rule out the possibility that 4HD comes bundled with freeware applications. Hence, whenever you download freeware from third-party websites, make sure you check all the installation steps carefully.
What does 4HD do?
According to the information provided at 4hd.com, 4HD is a “FREE add-on who will work with your internet browser and will enhances your online Video experience.” The poor English in this description should be enough to convince you that something is fishy about 4HD. On top of that, note how it is emphasized that 4HD is a “free add-on.”
When an application comes for free, you have to keep in mind that it usually “asks” for something in return. For example, it may monitor your web browsing activities or display commercial ads to support itself. This is exactly what 4HD does. The program tracks your web browsing history and then generates your online profile. With that, it can customize commercial ads and pop-ups based on your likes and preferences.
4HD ads appear in your browser whenever you access online shopping websites such as Walmart or eBay. Take note that this program does not install any browser extension or add-on. The ads are generated using a running process, 4hd.exe. This process can be located in the list of running processes via Windows Task Manager.
How do I remove 4HD?
Although this program is not malicious, its advertisements could be embedded with unreliable third-party content. Therefore, you should remove 4HD at once. Luckily, it is easy to uninstall 4HD through Control Panel, so you should terminate this program at once. When you are done, please invest in a licensed antispyware application that will protect your PC from harm.
