The WatchAnyGame application is developed by Informer Technologies, Inc. and is offered to users as a video platform for watching professional football and baseball matches. Also, the WatchAnyGame app may provide links to charts and help users to keep up with the season scores of their favorite clubs. You may want to know that the WatchAnyGame application is very similar to Fetch Sports that was released by Informer Technologies, Inc. too. The WatchAnyGame program can be found at WatchAnyGame.com and embedded with free program setup files. Security authorities recognize the WatchAnyGame app as a browser hijacker with adware capabilities because it may alter your default search engine and homepage to Search.searchwag.com. The WatchAnyGame browser hijacker might change the design of your new tab page to host links to ESPN, RDS, Eurosport, NBA, AFN Sports and One World Sports.

Additionally, the WatchAnyGame browser hijacker may use your IP address to detect your approximate geographical location to show local weather reports on your homepage. Computer users that are infected with the WatchAnyGame browser hijacker may be redirected to illegal gambling sites where you might be suggested to place your bet on your favorite club and win some money. A bad bet may cost you a lot of money, and the penalty for illegal gambling may cost you more than $20,000 and a stain on your reputation in your local community. It might be inconceivable how the WatchAnyGame browser hijacker may affect your life to that degree, but it might decrease your computer performance significantly and cover your screen with pop-ups ads. Security authorities recommend users to install a trustworthy anti-spyware application and delete the WatchAnyGame browser hijacker to prevent problems with your PC and local authorities as well as financial losses.
