WordFly is adware that may come with no positive features and a range of negative aspects. It offers its clients the opportunity to initiate a search of the term they are interested in by highlighting it. However, popular Web browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer have the same function integrated into their engines. This means that WordFly may not help you in any way, but its negative features may become a significant annoyance. The dubious application may insert some pop-ups, banners, and sponsored animations to the Web pages you visit. In addition, WordFly may transform ordinary words from the text into hyperlinks. The WordFly ads may be based on the browsing cookies that can be found in your system, which provide accurate information about your interests. Even if the offered products meet your current needs, the experts advise against clicking on them. You cannot know where they lead – there is a real chance for you to find yourself on some unsafe platform. Even if you try to ignore these ads, their aggressive presence may disturb your surfing sessions. What is more, the process of loading the pop-ups, banners and the animations especially may slow down your Web client or even cause freezes. You may be interested to find out that WordFly may travel bundled with freeware primarily. The formal page of this adware, which is wordflyapp.com, doesn't even contain a download button for the questionable tool. If you want to remove WordFly from your system, you should carry out a system scan with reputable anti-malware software.
