How did I get infected with WFini.exe?

Freeware – that’s how the malicious tool sneaks into your system. Freeware is possibly the easiest way into your system and, hence, the most commonly used one. But don’t think it’s the only one. The means of infiltration the nasty infection tends to turn to are not limited to just free software. Oh, no. The methods of invasion also involve hitching a ride with spam email attachments, pretending to be a bogus update, or hiding behind corrupted links or sites. Whichever one the infection chooses, understand that it cannot be successful if you are careful enough to spot it trying to slither in. Nasty tools like WFini.exe rely on your carelessness. They prey on it! So, if you don’t provide it, they won’t manage to sneak in undetected, and wreak havoc. Don’t throw caution to the wind, and don’t rush. Don’t pick distraction, gullibility, and haste over vigilance and due diligence. Even a little extra attention goes a long, long way and can save you an abundance of grievances. Remember that next time you’re debating whether to skip reading the terms and conditions and just agree to everything. After all, you don’t know what you might end up saying ‘yes’ to, and what if it’s even worse than WFini.exe? Pick caution over distraction. It’s the far superior choice.
