If you wonder why we recommend that you remove LinkWiz from the system, you should know that this program might cause harm to your computer. In other words, other malicious applications might use it to slither onto your computer. This can happen very quickly because LinkWiz might provide you with ads that are untrustworthy and might take you to corrupted websites. According to our specialists, this adware program will not only show advertisements, but might also gather data about your online activities. This means that the program will record the websites you visit, the content you access on them, and even the keywords you enter into the search box. Luckily, you can stop this from happening by removing LinkWiz.
