Why Search.hwatchtveasy.com Is Dangerous

Search.hwatchtveasy.com is built as a browser extension and it is compatible with various web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge. So all it takes to get infected with Search.hwatchtveasy.com virus is to install Watch TV Easy extension on one of your web browsers.

Actually, most of the time this extension gets installed behind your back because it is distributed bundled with other free software. It works like this: when you download and install some free application from the Internet, Watch TV Easy might be downloaded alongside and installed without even warning you about that. So it will come as a surprise.

Even though it is described as a free tool that will provide you with the ability to ’watch, don’t expect that to happen. Instead of that, it will change your new tab page and default search engine and set it to www.search.hwatchtveasy.com.
