What is WizzWifiHotspot?

WizzWifiHotspot comes from a group of adware applications developed and distributed by Wizzlabs. The application is not something a savvy computer user would want to keep on their system because it is dependent on third-party advertising. That might bring specific problems when it comes to your privacy and security. Thus, if you happen to have the program installed on your PC, it would be for the best if you remove WizzWifiHotspot right now. You can find manual removal instructions at the bottom of this article, but if you would like to know more about the application, please continue reading our description. test test test

Where does WizzWifiHotspot come from?

As mentioned, WizzWifiHotspot belongs to the Wizzlabs group of adware applications. It is very similar to the Wizzscreenmode adware program, although initially it might seem that both applications have been created for different purposes.

The official homepage for the application is located at wizzwifihotspot.wizzproducts.com, and you should be able to download the application from the page. This basically stops us from calling it a malicious computer infection: anyone can download the program as long as they want to. But how about the cases when the application seems to enter the system when users expect it the least?

We are talking about the bundled downloads in this case. It is far more likely that this adware program has arrived at your system in a software package. You probably did not have the slightest idea that some application you downloaded from a file-sharing site was bundled with additional apps like WizzWifiHotspot.

The problem is that users often can choose whether they want to install additional applications or not. Why, then, you might ask, so many users end up installing the likes of WizzWifiHotspot? That is because users tend to breeze through the installation wizard without even bothering to read all the steps. After all, if the program I need is free of charge, there should be no problem with just going through the setup automatically, right?

Well, wrong. It is BECAUSE users fail to exercise safe web browsing habits that such applications manage to spread around the web. And while they cannot cause great damage to your computer, you should still be wary of them because they present particular computer security issues that cannot be ignored.

What does WizzWifiHotspot do?

The official purpose of this application is to provide you with limitless Wi-Fi hotspots. The application allows you to share and receive Wi-Fi connection, and you can supposedly buy one “for only 9.99$.” The question is, however, just how reliable this type of network sharing could be, considering that the program itself is rather sketchy.

Not to mention, all the other potential threats that come in the shape of third-party advertising. For example, here is an extract from the program’s privacy policy everyone can read on the website:

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our websites or applications. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.

To put it simply, WizzWifiHotspot washes its hands off anything that might happen to you were you to click a corrupted outgoing link. Naturally, such incidents are rather rare, and for the most part, you are simply bombarded with commercial advertisements that offer various goods based on your latest web searches. Yet, even so, that is very far from the original function where WizzWifiHotspot should help you share Wi-Fi hotspots.

How do I remove WizzWifiHotspot?

The program is too annoying and unpredictable to tolerate it. Not to mention there is always a chance that it could get exploited by cyber criminals for malware distribution. Therefore, open Control Panel and remove WizzWifiHotspot right now.

The more detailed instructions on how to do it in each operating system are right below the article, but if you think that there might be more potentially unwanted programs on-board, you can always run a full system scan with a licensed antispyware tool. An automated security application will help you locate and delete all the potential threats. Also, this way you will be able to protect your PC from similar issues in the future. Just do not forget to keep your security tool updated!
