Ads themselves are not only very annoying, but they might also put your system into danger. Therefore, it would be best that you eliminate WebOptimum from your system as soon as you can. There is an uninstall of WebOptimum in Control Panel; however, it will not be enough to erase it via Control Panel if you use Google Chrome browser.

WebOptimum has been developed to show various commercial advertisements on a user’s screen. As we have managed to find out, you will see pop-ups that will cover your entire screen. Of course, you might see other kinds of ads too. They will keep appearing on your screen unless you delete WebOptimum from the system. Be sure that you do not click on any of the ads provided by this advertising-supported application. It is not advisable to do that because you might be taken to other web pages and thus infect your system with malicious software. This might happen really quickly because you will never know which of the ads are untrustworthy. Furthermore, researchers at pcthreat.com say that WebOptimum might also be interested in the web pages you visit, your search queries, your IP address, and other important details.
