People that enjoy watching YouTube videos are always looking for applications that may enhance their experience. Media Enhance is advertised as this kind of application. However, Media Enhance's main purpose is not to offer advantages to YouTube subscribers; it is to benefit its developers by displaying unwanted advertisements on the Web pages viewed on the affected computer. Media Enhance advertisements present themselves in the form of search advertisements, text advertisements, pop-ups and banners. These advertisements, in addition to being unwanted, are intrusive and may even prevent computer users from having a normal browsing session. Media Enhance's advertisements may appear on the most used Web browsers that include Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. Media Enhance is classified as a Possibly Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities due to the unwanted actions it may perform on an affected computer. Therefore, Media Enhance should not remain installed on an affected computer. An updated anti-malware instrument can remove Media Enhance and its components from your machine.
