Do you know what Web Warden is?
If you go to web-warden.com, you will be assured that Web Warden introduces “superior web browsing security.” Do you trust the services of this suspicious program? You are right not to, because this app is more likely to present security issues, rather than disable them. Even though the app promises to block access to malicious sites, it is an advertisement-supported program which has been created to present gateways to third-party sites, not prevent them. Of course, it is unfair to say that all ads will provide links to malicious sites; however, this is a real risk. If you want to learn how to delete Web Warden from the PC, you can use our removal advice presented via the report.
Web Warden is a clone of Browserwarden, another ad-supported program that deserves immediate removal. Even the websites (both are inactive at the moment) representing these ad-supported programs are practically identical. Both of the applications promise to fight malware; however, if the developer of these applications had your security in mind, only one application would be offered, and we would not urge you to remove them. The truth is that the more advertisement-supported programs software developers operate the more money they can earn. Web Warden advertising is based on the pay-per-click system, which means that its developers might be paid for every ad that you click on. Needless to say, this is a great motive to display more pop-up and banner advertisements. If the parties presenting these ads were not screened, sooner or later, you could face ads introduced by schemers. This could lead to a whole different set of security issues. Overall, if you do not want to be targeted by suspicious ads, we recommend getting Web Warden removed.
