Despite its name, Webexp Enhanced is not designed to enhance your Web experience. Rather, Webexp Enhanced is specifically designed to expose you to unwanted advertisement content repeatedly. Unfortunately, the tactics Webexp Enhanced uses to expose computer users to advertising content have often been associated with threats and may present both a privacy and security risk. However, Webexp Enhanced itself is not harmful, unlike other forms of severe and destructive threats. Because of this, Webexp Enhanced is usually classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program. PUPs like Webexp Enhanced are usually designed to profit at the expense of computer users, but are usually much easier to remove than many threats. If Webexp Enhanced is installed on your Web browser, security researchers strongly advise the immediate removal of Webexp Enhanced with the help of a reliable security program.
