Celeb Wham is a suspicious application that may not provide users with any valuable features. The purpose of the Celeb Wham software is to provide users with fun and engaging quizzes related to a long list of celebrities from the movie, music and sports industry. The Celeb Wham software can be downloaded from its official website, but there are signs that the Celeb Wham software also may be distributed with the help of other methods, one of which is software bundling.

Software bundles that contain Celeb Wham may be downloaded by anyone, and although the installation of Celeb Wham is optional many users might unknowingly accept to install this application. Unfortunately, interesting quizzes aren't the only content that a Celeb Wham's installation brings. This software also may inject advertisements in the user's Web browser, as well as launch background processes whose purpose is to collect Web usage statistics. The gathered data may be used for marketing purposes, as well as to improve the quality and relevancy of the advertisements displayed by the Celeb Wham browser extension. Celeb Wham is classified as adware, and its immediate removal is the best course of action for users that have Celeb Wham installed on their computers. Although it may be possible to remove Celeb Wham manually, readers are encouraged to perform this operation with the help of a trustworthy anti-malware program.
