Remove Level Quality Watcher, removal guide

Simply put, Level Quality Watcher is adware. It's a part of Adpeak adware that is heavily promoted via software download sites and fake updates web pages. Once installed, it modifies Windows registry, adds a web browser add-on on all web browsers and starts a Windows service with administrator rights. This service runs every time Windows starts. Not only it makes your computer run slow but also establishes network connections with ad servers using either levelqualitywatcher32.exe or levelqualitywatcher64.exe programs depending on the Windows version you are using. It is currently being distributed via CNET and other popular download sites, so many users are facing the same nuisance to say the least. The biggest problem is that users cannot remove it by simply going into Control Panel because it's not listed there. To remove Level Quality Watcher adware from your computer, please use the removal guide below.

Keep in mind that once running, Level Quality Watcher displays advertisements, mostly popups. It may, however, display in-line ads and pop unders. At the time I was testing this adware on my computer it promoted a tech support service called "NP Call for great tech support". The ad appeared on pretty much every tech related website. At least it was relevant even though I didn't as for it. You may, however, get completely different ads based on browsing history and your location.

Multiple anti-virus scanners have detected it as adware, potentially unwanted application or even malware, including Sophos, Eset, Avast, Malwarebytes and some others. Needless to say, it's not useful and may be potentially dangerous, especially if you click on ads. Some of those ads are clearly misleading and may lead you to malicious websites and services. What is more, Level Quality Watcher is usually installed along with other adware and even spyware, for example BuzzSearch or Scorpion Saver. Scan your computer with anti-malware software to get this malware off your computer. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Good luck and be safe online!
