Do you know what WordAnchor is?
It is unfair to call WordAnchor a malicious threat, but there is no doubt that this application is not as reliable as you might think it is. Even though this application is supposed to enhance your browsing ability, in reality, it was created to promote the products of the affiliate parties. This would not be that terrible if you were introduced to these parties. Unfortunately, the affiliates of WordAnchor are unknown, which is why it is necessary to consider the risk of facing unreliable parties. In the worst case scenario, these parties will introduce you to highly malicious links, and this is what you need to avoid. The easiest way to do that is to delete WordAnchor.
