The WAPageViewer program may be promoted to you as an advanced EPUB, MOBI and PDF file viewer, but it is adware that might redirect you to phishing pages and slow down your PC. Security investigators report that the WAPageViewer adware may add a scheduled task in Windows named VSProtect to ensure its operations when you log on. Additionally, the WAPageViewer adware may change your DNS and proxy settings to reroute your Internet traffic through the servers of advertisers. The WAPageViewer adware might show pop-up and pop-under windows to promote third-party software like OfferMosquito and PlusHD. As stated above, the WAPageViewer adware may appear as VSProtect and attach a plug-in to your Internet browsers. The WAPageViewer name is just a front for the Visual Protect Service that would work in your Windows background and may block the native ads on Amazon, Best Buy and eBay. Computer users should note that the adware-powered Visual Protect Service process may utilize Web storage data, session cookies and read your Internet browsing history to facilitate the display of related marketing content. The WAPageViewer adware could be found in the Program Files directory and may have a separate auto-recovery module installed in the hidden AppData folder to make its manual removal difficult for users. The assistance of a reputable anti-spyware solution can purge the WAPageViewer adware and its associated files securely.
