I wrote this article to help you remove ScreenGlaze Virus. This ScreenGlaze Virus removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Due to its ability to infiltrate your PC without any permission, ScreenGlaze has been classified as an adware application. The program is not so dangerous, though it is considered as potentially unwanted because when present on your computer, it might cause you various security issues.

One installed on your PC, ScreenGlaze will display a screensaver in case you are inactive for 3 minutes or more. On this screensaver, you will see a search box. Some computer users might think that it is useful, as they will be able to find the relevant information more quickly, however, the truth is entirely different.

What you should know about ScreenGlaze, is that it uses the website Trovi.com, which is an unreliable search provider. Thus, even if ScreenGlaze looks like a very helpful application, you’d better not keep it on the system only because it allows you to search for the information straight from your monitor.

As already mentioned above, ScreenGlaze is capable of entering your PC without asking for any permission. Nevertheless, a bigger problem is that the adware application usually travels bundled with other suspicious programs, such as MyPC Backup, Super Optimizer, and PC Speed Up. In fact, this is the main reason why ScreenGlaze has been classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

Keep in mind that all the aforementioned applications are considered as unreliable, thus it is very important that you remove them from your virtual machine. Meanwhile, you should be aware that other undesirable programs might also slither onto your computer in the future, so you must be sure that your PC is well-protected from any malicious software. The easiest way to do this is by installing an antimalware software on the system and keep it enabled all the time.

Yet, you can also remove virtual threats automatically if you install a reliable antimalware tool on your computer.

The good news about ScreenGlaze is that its removal is not a hard process. As already mentioned, you can delete the program either manually, or automatically. Though, even if you have completed the manual removal process, you still have to run a full scan of your PC in order to identify any registry leftovers or temporary files.
