WinToFlash Suggestor - How to remove

 

WinToFlash Suggestor is a browser add-on that can be added to random computers together with WinToFlash software programs. It is an optional program and its installation can be refused if you choose Custom installation. You only need to deselect couple of checkboxes. However, many users opt for Quick installation and in this case it is added to computers automatically without users’ authorization.

WinToFlash Suggestor was designed by Think Tank LLC and it is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. The program was developed to monitor on users browsing behavior and assist some third parties in advertising their products. WinToFlash Suggestor displays numerous ads and sponsored links when you browse the Internet. It expects you to click on these ads and help it to make affiliate revenue. Moreover, the information about your browsing habits can be used for other marketing purposes by its partners.

Beware that ads by WinToFlash Suggestor can redirect you to malicious websites and there are no guarantees that the program will not involve you into other harmful activities. Moreover, if the program reveals your personal information by tracking your browsing activities it can pose risk to your security and privacy. It is highly recommended to remove WinToFlash Suggestor as soon as you notice its activity on your system. Follow the guide below to learn how to do it.
