Book Source is part of the adware family. It’s a potentially unwanted program, whose presence on your PC brings troubles, headaches and various grievances. And, it can prove quite disastrous to your system. Let’s elaborate. In the case of adware, your system begins to suffer. You’re continuously bombarded with pop-up advertisements, which show up and plague your browsing every time you try to surf the web. As you can imagine that endless disruption certainly tests your patience. But it’s not just that. The ever-occurring intrusion also causes frequent system crashes, as well as slows down your computer’s performance to a crawl. But that’s not all. All of this meddling will also expose you to a severe malware risk. How come? Well, because all of these vexatious, ever-present advertisements are immensely unreliable. They’re bundled with various malicious applications, just waiting to slither their way into your PC and corrupt it further. And, do you know what? You’re the one to let them. Each time you press a pop-up, by accident or choice, you agree to install the malware, it’s hiding. So, unless you wish to flood your system with more unwanted infections, be more careful and avoid clicking on the ads. Or, better yet, delete the application and save yourself the risks mentioned above, as well as the worst one awaiting you. Oh, yes. Each one you’ve already heard about pales in comparison. The piece de resistance, when it comes to Book Source, is that it threatens your personal and financial information. Oh, yes. It’s programmed to spy on you, keep a record of your online activities, and send the gathered data to the people that published it. After they have it, they can use it as they wish. Are you prepared to risk handing your private life to strangers? Think long and hard before you answer. But know this: you’ll gain far more from removing the PUP from your system than from keeping it.

How did I get infected with?

If you are to be plagued by the nuisance that is Book Source, you have to approve its installment first. And, judging by your current predicament, you did. It may sound a bit perplexing, but it’s pretty straightforward. Applications, like this one, are bound to seek your approval before they install themselves on your computer. In other words, they have to ask whether you agree to let them in and if you deny them access, they cannot enter. It’s that simple. But, in all fairness, you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself for such infections are known for their trickery and guile. They’re positively masterful at deception and finesse and aren’t shy about using slyness to fool you and slither their way in undetected. They dupe you into giving them the green light without you even realizing it. How? Well, by turning to the old but gold means of infiltration. That includes hitching a ride with freeware. Corrupted links or sites, or spam email attachments, as well as pretending to be a fake update. Those are the easiest, most effective ways in because most users tend not to be as attentive as they should. And, that leads to our next point. As subtle and sly as each method is, the PUP still needs one crucial ingredient to succeed in its invasion – your carelessness. Tools like Book Source prey on your distraction, naivety, and haste. One way to help you keep them out of your PC is to be more careful. Don’t rush, don’t throw caution to the wind, and always be vigilant and thorough. Doing your due diligence can save you a ton of troubles.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Book Source’s selling point is that it “is a Smart Utility, which can download ebooks from many websites for free of cost.” And, not just that! The usefulness continues as the tool also states that through it “the files can be saved in your local file system in a short period of time.” And, that sounds positively fantastic! After all, who doesn’t want to read books online, and also have them available them for a certain amount of time in their system? It sounds almost too good to be true. Well, we have to break it to you, but that’s because it is. There’s nothing useful about the application. It’s a hazard to your system and a headache for you. Book Source brings nothing but issues. And, the more time it’s allowed to remain on your PC, the more opportunities it has to wreak havoc, hence the more problems, you’ll be forced to endure. It all starts with the pop-up ads but soon escalates to the point when you might even come face to face with The Blue Screen of Death. Oh, yes. If enough malware finds its way into your system, odds are, it will give up, and you’ll be greeted by the dreaded blue. Now, to be honest, the possibilities of that outcome are rather small, almost insignificant. But, last time we checked, neither of these was equal to ‘non-existent.’ So, as minuscule as the chances may be, are you prepared to take them? And, for such a worthless, hazardous program? Here’s some advice: DON’T! Ultimately, the bottom line is: Can the application be trusted on delivering on its promises and help you and your system in a positive manner? And, the answer is ‘No.’ Don’t count on it. Get rid of Book Source at once. Your future self will thank you for it.
