Remove WebCake 3.00 by Web Cake

The WebCake web browser plugin by sterkly LLC declares that it can sweeten browsing experience. It can modify Windows hosts file and DNS settings. Once installed, the WebCake Safe will display a see similar button on the product images of the shopping websites such as Amazon, Expedia, Best Buy, Facebook and so on. As long as you click the see similar button, the WebCake will pop up ads.

Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. It adds a Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The primary executable is named WebCakeDesktop.Updater.exe. A majority of users end up uninstalling this less than a week of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 5 files and is usually about 889.24 KB (910,580 bytes). The installed file WebCakeDesktop.Updater.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered.
