Where does Wincheck come from?
Since Wincheck is an adware helper, you cannot expect to find this application out in the wild. There is no way to download it directly, and our researchers say that Wincheck always comes bundled with adware. This means that technically, you download this adware helper yourself because it’s not like adware programs get into target computers in stealth as well.
If you want to avoid adware and such apps like Wincheck (and if you are a security-minded user, you most certainly do), you have to stay away from freeware and shareware sites. These sites may not be direct adware distributors, but they could be used by unreliable third parties to spread adware around. A third-party downloader or installer could be easily equipped with Wincheck and some related adware applications.
What does Wincheck do?
When this adware helper enters your computer, it gets configured to run automatically. Whenever you turn on your computer, Wincheck will launch together with Windows. The application will connect to the Internet without your permission to upload and download data.
Wincheck will collect information on your web browsing habits and supply it to the adware program that uses it. As a result, you will see various commercial ads on your browser when you surf the Internet. These ads will be related to your most recent searches and the websites you visit on a regular basis.
Wincheck can also download adware updates behind your back and update the adware programs it is associated with. Although we cannot categorize this kind of behavior as something malicious, there is no way to ensure that Wincheck and associated adware programs do not get exploited by cyber criminals.
What’s more, it is recommended to delete all the adware applications because they clearly are highly intrusive and annoying. You might not see Wincheck itself, but you can be sure that this application will be quite a nuisance.
How do I remove Wincheck?
It shouldn’t be too complicated to remove Wincheck from your computer because it is possible to uninstall it via Control Panel. However, the adware helper obviously isn’t the only issues you have to take care of here, so scan your system with the SpyHunter free scanner to find all the potentially unwanted programs. When you do, get rid of them at once.
