How do I remove EnjoyWiFi?
Our program Malwarebytes can detect and remove this potentially unwanted program.

- Double-click mb3-setup-consumer-{version}.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
- Then click Finish.
- Once the program has fully updated, select Scan Now on the Dashboard. Or select the Threat Scan from the Scan menu.
- If another update of the definitions is available, it will be implemented before the rest of the scanning procedure.
- When the scan is complete, make sure that all Threats are selected, and click Remove Selected.
- Restart your computer when prompted to do so.
- No, Malwarebytes removes EnjoyWiFi completely.
We hope our application and this guide have helped you eradicate this adware.
