Remove OtShot virus (Uninstall Guide) OtShot is a potentially unwanted program, which is promoted via other free downloads, and while this program itself is not a virus, during its setup process users will be prompted to install adware and browser hijackers on their computers. OtShot is a photo editing application that is typically added when you install another free software (video recording/streaming, download-managers or PDF creators) that had bundled into their installation this program. Very often users have no idea where did it come from, so it’s not surprising at all that most of them assume that OtShot is a virus. This program is also bundled within the custom installer on many reputable download sites, so if you have downloaded a software from these websites, chances are that OtShot was installed during the software setup process. The OtShot installer is packed with JollyWallet, Conduit Search, Value Apps, FindLyrics, LyricsPal and other malicious or unwanted programs. OtShot by Conduit – Virus Removal Guide
