The WebSize browser add-on may offer seemingly productive online features, but you may want to know that experts deem it as adware. The WebSize browser add-on has functionality similar to other adware such as HDVidCodec and Share Anything, which are launched under the pretense of a helpful software and operate as marketing engines. The WebSize adware may present you with pop-up windows, banners and ads by third parties who finance the app. The preferred method to deploy adware is to embed it with freeware installers, and hope that users will install the free app via the 'Express' or 'Typical' option thus ensuring the adware installation as well. Adware such as the WebSize browser add-on may read data regarding the web content you engaged in to facilitate the display of related advertisements that may cover your entire browser surface. Computer users may want to consider installing a powerful anti-malware solution to fend off adware.
