They might increase so much that, eventually, you’ll lose control of your system and come face to face with The Blue Screen of Death. Yes, admittedly, the chances of that happening are pretty slim. But ‘pretty slim’ does not mean non-existent. Are you prepared to take such a colossal risk? Even if the possibility of that scenario unfolding is close to none, it remains nonetheless.

Also, you’ll be ‘blessed’ with a slower computer performance and frequent system crashes, again brought upon you by the application you so wish to keep. But, most importantly, if you decide to allow NaviWatcher to stay instead of deleting it immediately, you’ll be faced with both a malware and a security threat. Does either one of these ‘perks’ of keeping the tool sound like anything other than nuisances, unpleasantries, and utter grievances.
