The Introduction of WordExtra
WordExtra comes from the family of browser hijacker virus which poses as a functional search engine and brings you various promotion messages to help you buy products at a lower price. But in fact, it only interferes with your web surfing. In most instances, WordExtra virus infiltrates into your computer when you download and install some free software downloaded from insecure websites without notice.
Once WordExtra virus gets installed on your computer, overwhelming commercial ads will keep coming out on your screen and try to trick you into purchasing their products which are always some fake and inferior goods. Besides, when you want to visit your favorite website or search for something online, you will be redirected to other irrelevant pages and you have no idea how to stop these redirections.
Additionally, in order to keep it running smooth in the background, WordExtra virus consumes lots of system resources, which makes your system run slow and even freeze up. The poor computer performance drives you mad. Worst of all, WordExtra virus will help cyber criminals monitor your activities on the Internet and steal your personal data including search keywords, login names, email passwords, e-bank details and so on. Therefore, it is highly advised to remove WordExtra virus as fast as possible.
