The WordFly browser enhancer may claim to improve your interaction with text on the Internet by providing you with hover-over definitions and links to related resources, but WordFly is adware. Security analysts reveal that the WordFly adware may add its code as a system driver to Windows and prove to be hard for manual removal. The WordFly adware may manifest as a pop-up window with links to resources related to the page you are browsing. The info provided by the WordFly may be useful, but it may generate several more pop-up windows with marketing content as well. The WordFly adware may display banners, floating ad-boxes and full-page ads to show you promotions from partners. Moreover, the WordFly adware may change your default search engine to Abuchak.net and BarDiscover.com that are reported to be related to browser hijackers. The adware may use pop-under windows to invite you to install software like Accelimize and Browser+ ProApp that may decrease your computer productivity and load additional advertising content in your Web browser. Security analysts report that the WordFly adware may install its files in the Program Files directory but will install its auto-recovery module in the hidden AppData folder to prevent users from removing it. Web surfers affected by the WordFly adware should keep in mind that its ads may feature links to harmful domains. You might wish to use a credible anti-malware suite to clean your system from the WordFly adware and avoid security problems.
