Digiworldsearch Media Manager Adware

What is Digiworldsearch Media Manager?

Digiworldsearch Media Manager is a deceptive app that supposedly helps to monetize YouTube content. These claims often trick users into believing that Digiworldsearch Media Manager is legitimate. In fact, this app is classed as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware.

One of the main reasons for these negative associations is stealth infiltration - Digiworldsearch Media Manager often infiltrates systems without users’ consent. Following successful infiltration, this PUP generates intrusive online advertisements and continually tracks Internet browsing activity.

To generate intrusive online advertisements, Digiworldsearch Media Manager employs a 'virtual layer', allowing delivery of third party content including banners, pop-up, and other similar advertisements that do not originate from users' visited websites. These often conceal underlying content, thereby significantly diminishing the Internet browsing experience.

In addition, some of the generated ads lead to malicious websites - clicking them is risky and may lead to further high-risk computer infections. Another downside of this PUP is data tracking. Digiworldsearch Media Manager records Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, websites visited, search queries, pages viewed, and other data relating to users' web browsing activity.

Be aware that this gathered data might be personally identifiable and shared with third parties who misuse private details to generate revenue. This can can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. For this reason, we strongly advise you to uninstall Digiworldsearch Media Manager immediately.

Digiworldsearch Media Manager is not the only application that falsely claims to enhance the web browsing experience. There are hundreds of other similar adware-type programs. As with Digiworldsearch Media Manager, apps such as Hostify, 4zip, WizzScreen, and ArcadeCake also falsely claim to provide 'valuable functionality'.

These fake promises are merely attempts to trick users to install. In fact, all adware is designed only to collect personally identifiable information, deliver intrusive online advertisements, and potentially cause unwanted browser redirects. Therefore, they provide no real value for users.

How did Digiworldsearch Media Manager install on my computer?

Research shows that, although Digiworldsearch Media Manager has an official promotion site, many users install this application inadvertently. This is due to deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling', which developers use to distribute Digiworldsearch Media Manager.

Bundling is essentially stealth installation of third party software with regular software/apps. Developers know that many users do not pay enough attention during the download/installation processes. For these reasons, they intentionally conceal PUPs within the 'Custom/Advanced' settings. By skipping this section, users expose their systems to risk of various infections.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

There are two steps you should take to prevent this situation. Firstly, never rush when downloading and installing software - choose the 'Custom/Advanced' settings and follow each step. Secondly, opt-out of all third party apps listed for download/installation, since bundled software is mostly dubious.
