Wowmovix.com virus - How to remove

Wowmovix.com is a webpage that promotes WowMovix browser extension. According to the official statements of the creators of this app, this variant has been designed to introduce a whole new world of browsing for movies with an easy-to-navigate searching platform. Yes, you understood right: WowMovix will assign its searching network for every Chrome browser it manages to inflict on. Thanks to the fact that creators limited their potential victims to Google Chrome users, a relief should be a strong emotion for people with different programs for browsing. Nevertheless, we are unsure whether these claims are truthful and other browsers really do not fall under this browser hijacker’s radar. Terms and Conditions document of Wowmovix.com virus explicitly explains the exact purposes that this browser extension is supposedly utilized for. Firstly, this searching platform gives you an exclusive opportunity to individualize your new tab page. This feature seems to be quite weak as browsers already allow users to modify new tab pages, even without help from unfamiliar extensions like Wowmovix. Another, more unexpected trait of this facility is that it can combine address books of mobile phones with a computer program. Allegedly, people should be able to answer calls and texts on their computer screen.

Things to consider about Wowmovix.com virus

The Privacy Policy of Wowmovix.com virus reveals some disturbing truths. Browser hijacker might require you to log into accounts in social networking sites. From these informative sources, virus can gather a number of details about you and exploit it for more clever marketing strategies. Name, email address, country of origin, nickname, telephone number, website, demographic information and other personal information can be collected and delivered to sources of interest. This means that unreliable third-parties can reach some details that are supposed to remain confidential instead of being recklessly sent around.

It is also possible that Wowmovix.com virus will present questionnaires, surveys, subscription forms or contest forms for the sake of becoming able to customize content. If you decide to take advantage of the feature to connect your phone with your computer device, we should inform you that Wowmovix.com virus lacks discretion. Conversations that are going to be exchanged via this facility are going to be stored in the servers, belonging to the browser hijacker. If you wish to keep your phone calls and messages private, you should not choose to keep Wowmovix.com virus enabled. The wisest option would be to remove this browser extension without any mercy.

Nevertheless, we are not saying that this browser extension won’t be functional. There is a very good chance that it will manage to pursue some of its promises, but won’t forget its vile nature. People that already survived Wowmovix.com virus and managed to remove it, indicated that they even received promotional content that was tailor-suited for them. Even if this tendency appears to be convenient, security researchers doubt its actual benefits to the user. After the creators of Wowmovix.com virus manage to receive your emails address or telephone number, they are allowed to contact you and make propositions. This means that misleading calls can disturb you and attempt to convince you to purchase pricy and possibly low-quality products.

Firstly, everything starts when hackers decide that the Internet has not enough fake searching platforms. Then, they design one, following the popular trends.

If you feel lured to download Wowmovix extension, we highly advise you to think again. No significant benefits are going to derive from this app and your security is going to be jeopardized as a consequence. Furthermore, browser hijacker can select a more secretive method for invasion.
