The HDworldz.com Web site is a hoax that is promoted to users as an online platform that is a cheaper alternative to Netflix and Hulu. Computer users that experience pop-ups loaded with content from HDworldz may be infected with adware that is designed to drive Web traffic to HDworldz.com. The HDworldz platform may be promoted to support smartphones, PCs, tablets, and laptops but that is not true. Also, the HDworldz Web platform may offer users to rent games and music but it does not partner with sound and gaming studios, and you may be provided with pirated content that may include harmful code. Security investigators alert that the HDworldz adware may perform browser redirects and show pop-up and pop-under windows to generate Web traffic to HDworldz.com and sponsored content.
The HDworldz adware is related to MoshGame via the company called C4 Gaming Corp LTD, which manages both apps and users may be invited to install MoshGame as an upgrade. You need to know that the trial period of the HDworldz platform may cost you money because it is designed in such a way that allows C4 Gaming Corp LTD to charge you for several months of service in the first month. It is imperative to terminate your trial period of services by HDworldz to avoid losing a hefty sum of money that may be close to $150. Additionally, the HDworldz adware may change your start page and search provider to Easydialsearch.com that is associated with a browser hijacker. The HDworldz adware may crash your browser when you visit video sharing portals like Vimeo and YouTube to urge you to subscribe to its services. As stated above, you may lose your money on HDworldz.com and have troubles claiming a refund. The HDworldz adware may have installed its files in the temp directory to prevent users from deleting its binary manually, and you may need help removing it.
