This thing is part of an exceedingly malicious and ever-changing software suite, and not only works itself deep into the file directory structure and registry, but it also installs and works with additional stuff under other program names.
Once inside the machine, all browsing is crippled with redirects to unsavory places, and attempts to browse to web pages that provide information and software to remove this toxic sludge will invariably be deflected to misleading or even more toxic webpages. It's nasty stuff, and it's clingy. Scrubbing it out of a computer is a non-trivial task.
The multiple installations continuously check on one another, and should any of them be stopped or removed, they will be respawned from the other running processes in this squirming thieves nest of malicious code.
The array of malicious software associated with Wajam extends to separate programs installed in multiple locations in the Windows file system, separate browser extensions and plugins, and an amazingly deep and wide-ranging set of registry entries.
Trust nothing whatsoever from the Wajam mothership regarding uninstallation, and for that matter, do not go there at all, as you are putting yourself at risk for additional infestations of malware.
