Remove TVGenie by WebAppTech Coding

TVGenie is a potentially unwanted program that is installed in the user's web browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Firefox) and is designed to display a number of advertisements as text contextual links, popover and popunders. The browser add-in will display up to 10 unwanted ads when visiting any unrelated website and will also hijack standard website ads in order to replace them with new banners and such. When loading a web page's HTML, it will modify and inject new ads as well as advertisement contextual links within the HTML itself. Clicking on these ads may redirect the user to malicious web sites that will use exploits to install malware, spyware and adware. Removing TVGenie is highly recommended.

The software also bundles various adware toolbars: "In some cases, we may display product offers during your installation process. Of course, you will have the ability to accept or pass on these offers. We try our very best to make sure any product offering follows best practices and actually provides something of value to you. For example, you may be given the option to install a search toolbar during installation. These offers make it more efficient to search the web by providing you with multiple places to search from (an additional search field, your home page or via opening a new browser tab). Included with these toolbars are typically widgets that provide new ways to access your favorite websites, social networking platforms and news sources. They also may offer general utility widgets like getting real-time weather data and streaming your radio station of choice. At any point, if you decide to uninstall TV Genie, instructions for how to uninstall additional offers will also be provided."
