What is WorkApp?
WorkApp is the semi-random name adware. This name is applied to a number of adware applications that are known to randomize their names upon the installation. The level of randomization is minimal because only the letters in the name are capitalized perchance. Thus, you can still recognize the actual name of the program, and even if you have another version of WorkApp installed on your computer, it should not be hard for you to figure out what you are dealing with. Consequently, you have to remove WorkApp from your system as soon as possible because there is no telling what this adware program might spark.

Where does WorkApp come from?
As mentioned above, WorkApp belongs to the semi-random name adware family. It may be also called the Multiplug adware. This information gives us a very good idea what we should expect of WorkApp, and what its main features are.
For example, it is obvious that WorkApp is identical to RocketCoupon, SaferWeb, OptiShopper, and various other applications from the same group. It is also based on the JustPlugit engine, and it gets distributed with freeware.
Some programs from this group have official websites, but that does not apply to WorkApp. It does not even try to pretend that it is a reliable application you should have in order to improve your online web browsing experience.
Our research shows that WorkApp usually comes with EZDownloader, Websearch.goodforsearch.info, mystartsearch.com, and other similar infections. It means that you install a bundle of potential computer threats at the same time, so if your browser settings get changed, it is very likely that you have an adware program installed on your computer as well, and vice versa.
What does WorkApp do?
This adware application is compatible with all major browsers, so when it enters a target system, it will install extensions on Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. However, in some cases the newer versions of the Google Chrome browser might block WorkApp because the application is simply not reliable enough.
With the extension installed on your browser, you can be sure that WorkApp collects information on your most frequently visited websites. It also logs the search keywords you enter into your search engine. This kind of information is later on used for online marketing purposes, when WorkApp displays commercial pop-ups whenever you access an online shopping website.
Please remember that WorkApp is not responsible for the third-party content. In other words, it does not check whether the links in its pop-ups are reliable or not. Hence, if you click a pop-up that contains a corrupted link (which happens quite often), you might end up installing more adware and sometimes even malware. Any computer security-minded user would want to avoid that, so we strongly advise you to delete WorkApp from your computer today.
How do I remove WorkApp?
When we deal with adware applications, we can take a breath of relief because they are not that hard to delete. You just need to uninstall WorkApp via Control Panel and then remove the extension from your browser. However, that might not be all to it.
You should run a full system scan with the SpyHunter free scanner in order to make sure that you don’t have any other malicious programs on-board. Should you encounter any difficulties while trying to remove computer security threats, please do not hesitate to contact us.
