CWA Donation Slider Adware

What is CWA Donation Slider?

CWA Donation Slider is a browser add-on owned by We-Care.com. This plug-in is advertised as a tool designed to donate money for clean water-related causes. This may seem legitimate functionality, however, this add-on is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

CWA Donation Slider is stealthily distributed together with other software using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling'. After successful infiltration on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, CWA Donation Slider generates unwanted advertisements and collects personal data.

Most popular freeware download websites such as softonic.com, soft32.com, downloads.com, and many others, employ small download programs (called 'installers', 'download clients', etc.) as monetization tools for their free services and traffic.

These applications bundle additional applications together with other software, and therefore, users often inadvertently install adware such as CWA Donation Slider. Having this PUP installed on your system may cause further high-risk adware or malware infections and can lead to serious privacy issues. You are strongly advised to eliminate CWA Donation Slider from your system.

CWA Donation Slider is similar to other potentially unwanted applications distributed via download managers. Some examples are MedPlayerNewVersion, Local Temperature, and Perfect Navigator among many others.

These applications are developed to generate revenue by the display of ads and by sharing collected data with third parties - they provide no significant value for the user. To prevent installation of CWA Donation Slider, or other similar adware, closely inspect each step of the free software download procedure and click 'Decline' if installation of any additional programs is offered.

Furthermore, when installing downloaded software, select the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options, rather than 'Quick' or 'Typical' - this will reveal any bundled applications listed for installation and allow you to opt-out. Follow this removal guide to safely eliminate CWA Donation Slider from your system.
