Webhancer is a web site
performance analysis program that may be installed on your computer
without your knowledge. I found webhancer installed on my system
unbeknownst to me. As a consumer this incensed me as it was installed
subversively and alters my windows network stack. I’m sure this doesn’t
improve performance either and appears to cause additional problems.
I
initially went looking for background programs that might be causing
network related problems I had observed. Every time I launched RealOne
Player from Mozilla it would freeze for several minutes before playing
the audio. Now that webhancer is removed it seems this problem is also
gone. If I notice the problem again and Webhancer has not re-installed
itself I will publish a retraction.
I’m not sure which programs are shipping with and installing Webhancer. Refer to Webhancer Spyware to detect and remove it.
