What is Tv Wizard?
Tv Wizard is an adware application that tries to make an impression it is a useful browser extension. This add-on says that it can “dim out the lights” when you watch videos online, so that you would not be bothered by the background. However, the actual benefits of such function are highly doubtful. Not to mention that Tv Wizard also displays third-party advertisements that might expose you to potentially corrupted websites. You have to remove Tv Wizard from the PC if you care about your system’s security. Adware programs should not be tolerated because they could be exploited by cybercriminals.

Where does Tv Wizard come from?
Tv Wizard is also known as TV Wizard. This application can be downloaded at gettvwizard.com. The official website claims that with this application installed, you can watch your favorite TV stations online and view online stream with ease. As it has been mentioned above, Tv Wizard is also supposed to dim the background whenever you are on an online streaming website like YouTube.
However, the official website is not the only distribution source. Just like a number of adware applications, Tv Wizard might also be bundled with freeware. Our security research team says that when users download an installer file that has several programs inside of it, they usually tend to skip several installation steps as users care about one program only. Consequently, they do not notice that they might be installing Tv Wizard and a bunch of other unwanted applications. Thus, whether you download Tv Wizard directly or bundled with other apps, the fact remains that you install the application onto your PC yourself.
What does Tv Wizard do?
Technically, the main function of Tv Wizard should be improving your online video watching experience. However, as far as the dimming the background is concerned, the function is utterly useless because on such websites as YouTube you can simply choose the full screen mode, the background disappears.
That having been said; you should be more concerned with Tv Wizard’s side effects. Since it is an adware application, it will collect data on your web browsing habits to share them with its partners. This data allows the program to generate your online profile, and, as a result, Tv Wizard displays custom commercial advertisements that should push you into purchasing various goods or filling out an online survey. Needless to say, that clicking Tv Wizard ads is a bad idea as you can never know where it might lead you.
How to remove Tv Wizard?
In order to avoid being redirected to potentially malicious websites, you have to uninstall Tv Wizard via Control Panel right now. If this program came bundled with other freeware, run a full system scan with SpyHunter free scanner to detect a list of unwanted applications. Delete all the potential threats and invest in a reliable antispyware tool if need be.
