About TV Wizard?

TV Wizard, developed by Injekt, is a browser toolbar and plugin designed for Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. It integrates with the user's default web browser to modify settings such as search and home pages, new tab functionality, and DNS 'not found' redirection. Additionally, it may adjust browser security settings, potentially compromising the overall security of the user's computer in order to run without interruption. Uninstalling TV Wizard through standard methods in Add/Remove Programs may only remove parts of the program, leaving behind modified search and home pages. Furthermore, as stated in the privacy policy, the program tracks and reports user behaviors, including visited URLs, web pages, search terms, and results, while the plugin is installed. It is important for users to be aware of these aspects of TV Wizard and consider them before installation.
