Remove WS-Booster by WebPick Internet Holdings

WebSave (WS-Booster) is an adware/malware program that injects advertisements in the user's web browser. WS-Booster popup ads will be shown as boxes containing various coupons/delas that are available or as underlined keywords, which when clicked will display an advertisement that states it is brought to you by 'Web Save Deals' or 'Web Save Ads'.

Once infected by this common symptoms include:
- Random web page text is turned into hyperlinks.
- Browser popups appear which recommend fake updates or other software.
- Ads with red click here button will pop up when those links are hovered on.
- Other unwanted adware programs might get installed without the user's knowledge.

WS-Booster will also display advertising banners on the webpages (such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, EBay and other websites) that a user is visiting and will show coupons and other deals available on different websites.

The most used version is 4.3.0.1982, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up (this is typically done to avoid any UAC prompts). The main program executable is WS-Booster.exe. Typically most users end up uninstalling this just after a few days. The software installer includes 2 files and is usually about 712.8 KB (729,906 bytes).
