Threat's profile

Name of the threat:Hi-Wire

Command or file name:MON76234.exe

Threat type:Adware

Affected OS:Win32/Win64 (Windows XP, Vista/7, 8/8.1, Windows 10)

Affected browsers:Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari

The indisposition to tag Hi-Wire removal tool function to anti spyware was strengthened by a fear of lawsuits when Hi-Wire companies sued major software vendors for leakage of their programs as Hi-Wire. Usually Hi-Wire offers a user a free but bound, advertising-supported state with all the features enabled or paid working that enables all characteristics and turns off the publicities making consumers remove Hi-Wire as it's very boring. Hi-Wire is built by cybercriminals interested in gaining benefit or wreaking havoc, so it is preferable to setup Hi-Wire removal tools to remove Hi-Wire. Hi-Wire is usually bundled with tracking software to watch your WAD habits, so you'll need not only Hi-Wire removal tool but also the one that removes tracking software. With Hi-Wire there is no sign that the application is setup and Hi-Wire don't have de-setting up routine, so Hi-Wire removal is hard without Hi-Wire removal tool. There are no presages of Hi-Wire presence on PC since Hi-Wire does not supplement anything to the PC tray nor the application menu creating it harder to perfect Hi-Wire removal operation.

Hi-Wire intrusion method

Hi-Wire installs on your PC along with free software. This method is called "bundled installation". Freeware offers you to install additional module (Hi-Wire). Then if you fail to decline the offer it starts hidden installation. Hi-Wire copies its file(s) to your hard disk. Its typical file name is MON76234.exe . Then it creates new startup key with name Hi-Wire and value MON76234.exe . You can also find it in your processes list with name MON76234.exe or Hi-Wire. Also, it can create folder with name Hi-Wire under C:\Program Files\ or C:\ProgramData. If you have further questions about Hi-Wire, please ask below.
