EnjoyWiFi is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which might be promoted as a useful utility that can help you turn your PC into a WiFi hotspot. However, these claims are untrue since this is not possible unless the computer has the necessary hardware to perform this operation. The interface of EnjoyWiFi is rather simple, and it does not offer many features for the user to take advantage of. On the bottom of the program window, users will see a small field, which contains computer maintenance tips such as 'Remember to clean your fans.' Overall, EnjoyWiFi looks like a very low-quality piece of software, but the good news is that it does not seem to carry out any suspicious operations on the victim's computer.

The worrying thing is that EnjoyWiFi does not have an official website or download location, and this software is being distributed through software bundles solely. However, software bundles rarely contain just one additional application, and this means that users who have EnjoyWiFi on their computers might also have authorized the installation of other dubious software such as adware, Potentially Unwanted Programs or browser hijackers unknowingly.

If you have somehow agreed to install EnjoyWiFi on your computer and you are not using this tool, then it is recommended to take the necessary steps to remove it. The removal can be completed either manually, by uninstalling EnjoyWiFi from the Windows Control Panel, or with the assistance of a suitable PC security tool.
