Do you know what WebChefPlus is?
WebChefPlus is an application aimed at those users who love cooking. It advertises itself as “your personal cookbook”, so it is not surprising that many people download and install this program on their systems. Even though WebChefPlus is not a malicious program, we still do not recommend keeping it installed on the system because it is classified as a potentially unwanted program in most cases. If you have also noticed that WebChefPlus acts in a suspicious way, you can delete this program from the system rather easily any time. It is also advisable to get rid of it if it has slithered onto your computer without permission or you have downloaded it from some kind of untrustworthy third-party web page.
WebChefPlus is a product of Applon INC and it is definitely not the only software developed by this company, so you should be careful with other applications too. In our opinion, WebChefPlus cannot be fully trusted for one main reason – it collects information about user’s activities on the web. If you read the Privacy Policy which can be found on its official website webchefplus.com, you will notice the information claiming that WebChefPlus “may collect tracking information such as the type of your operating system you use, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your IP address, details about your computer hardware, your browser type, pages you visited on our Site, and the applications you have installed on your computer.” As you can see, it collects many details about users. Luckily, they are non-personally identifiable; however, if you still do not want to reveal anything about yourself, you have to delete WebChefPlus as soon as possible.

Specialists also say that there is a small possibility that you will see ads on the application itself. If you notice them, make sure that you ignore them because you might end up on a corrupted website full of threats very quickly. Furthermore, some specialists put WebChefPlus into the category of potentially unwanted programs also because it can come bundled with other programs and thus enter your system without your direct permission. If you cannot remember downloading this software yourself, it would be wise to check the system’s condition and then remove all the existing threats, if there are any.
As WebChefPlus is not a very harmful infection, you will be able to remove it from the system via Control Panel. You will find the instructions that will help you to do that below this article. You can also delete WebChefPlus automatically. If you scan your system with a reliable scanner, it will also remove other infections from your system. We recommend using the SpyHunter scanner if you are going to delete WebChefPlus automatically.

In non-techie terms:
If you do not want to allow suspicious programs to enter your system in the future, you should install a security tool and keep it enabled all the time. On top of that, you should stop downloading freeware from third-party websites because you might install a bunch of additional programs every time you do that. Finally, do not forget to install new programs very carefully and check whether they are really 100% trustworthy.
