Where does WizzAppChecker come from?

Users often are confused as to how this application managed to slither into their systems. The point is that adware programs can use many different methods to reach target computers. For example, it is not hard to download WizzAppChecker from the official website that you can access via wizzappchecker.wizzproducts.com. The same tactics are used by other applications from the same Wizzlabs family, including WizzWifiHotspot and Wizzscreenmode.

Also, the program might be installed on your computer when you download some other application. Such applications are often distributed in packs via file-sharing websites. If you fail to check all the installation steps, you might be up for a big surprise the next time you open your web browser, and you get assaulted with thousands of annoying ads.

What does WizzAppChecker do?

Granted, commercial advertising should not be the main objective of this application, but, in the end, this is what Adware does. The information on the main homepage says that with WizzAppChecker you should be able to “protect your computer from malware.” But that is pretty much it. The domain does not offer other information about the application, and we have to rely on what our researchers have found.

For instance, it is clear that WizzAppChecker can display third party content. It even says in its privacy policy that “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.” This means that the application is not responsible for any type of trouble you might get yourself into via third-party websites. It functions just as a medium, and it does not even check whether the third-party content you get exposed to is safe or not.

What’s more, WizzAppChecker does not even perform its initial function properly. When you have this application installed, it mostly looks for legitimate Windows files and indicates them as potential threats. On top of that, it also slows down your overall system performance, and no one would expect a reliable and useful application to behave like that. Hence, your best option, in this case, would be removing the program for good.

How do I remove WizzAppChecker?

Some users find deleting unwanted programs a tedious task, so if you do not want to deal with it manually, you can simply terminate WizzAppChecker with a computer security tool of your choice. However, if you decide to uninstall the application via Control Panel, it should be a piece of cake! This application does not leave any leftovers, so if you have downloaded it from the official website, it should be enough to terminate it via Control Panel.

Nevertheless, if you do not remember downloading the application, you should definitely scan your PC with a computer security tool, as there might be other uninvited guests on-board. If your computer has been sluggish and unresponsive lately, that is a clear sign that something is off.

Once again, we would like to point out that WizzAppChecker is not a malicious infection, but adware applications, unfortunately, get misused by cyber criminals quite often because they have really loose privacy policies. Malware infection is obviously the worst case scenario, but one should not rule it out, especially when quite a lot is at stake. If you are really unlucky, you might get infected with ransomware, and then you would definitely lose your files.

Thus, prevent this from happening by nipping the problem in the bud. If you have other questions about your computer’s security or how to remove adware, you can always leave us a comment. We are here to assist you.
