And, the situation immediately requires that you take action. If you underestimate this program for even a minute, you’ll inevitably regret it. Therefore, don’t ignore the parasite. We’ve never come across a harmless hijacker and safesurfs.net certainly isn’t the great exception. If you allow this virus to get out of control, it will. Are you willing to witness safesurfs.net’s entire malicious potential unleashed? No? Then why hesitate? The sooner you get rid of the virus, the better.

Furthermore, it’s also extremely dangerous. All that safesurfs.net generates are sponsored, modified, tailored web links. This program’s very last intention was to help you surf the Internet. Its real goal is much more prosaic. By displaying sponsored links, safesurfs.net brings profit to the hijacker’s developers. Now that you know money is at the bottom of that scheme, are you feeling nervous? You should be. After safesurfs.net takes control over your browsers, it starts bombarding you with pop-up ads. Just like its search results, its commercials are sponsored. That means you must stay away from those as well. Regardless of how attractive they may seem to be, remember, there’s a parasite standing behind them. Coupons, discounts, product deals and offers – all of those are unreliable. Apart from the obvious fact the stubborn pop-up ads irritate you, they also hold risks for you. You could never trust a sponsored commercial because it might be leading you directly to malware. And, more often than not, that is precisely what happens. Restrain yourself from clicking anything brought to you by the virus. It isn’t a risk worth taking. The virus has many more trick up its sleeve, though. For example, safesurfs.net spies on your browsing-related activities. Then if uses the information collected to adjust the ads. How unfair is that? You have no reason to tolerate this nuisance’s harassment.

How did I get infected with?

Have you recently downloaded such program packages off of the Internet? Then it’s safe to say that is how safesurfs.net sneaked in. The thing with bundles is, you end up completely unaware of the fact you’ve just compromised your PC. Next time you install free software, take your time. Opt for the Custom or Advanced option and watch out for potential intruders. Unless you pay close attention when you should, some sneaky virus may get installed. Or, if you’re particularly unfortunate, you might install a whole bunch of infections. To prevent installation, be careful. Remember that your machine’s safety depends solely on your own actions. Don’t be neglectful and don’t be gullible to think hackers can’t cause you harm.

Why are these ads dangerous?

As soon as the PC gets infected, safesurfs.net adds a browser extension. Thanks to this malicious plugin, you’re now stuck with the hijacker’s domain. And there’s no getting rid of it unless you tackle the hijacker itself. Due to this program’s presence, you also get redirected to questionable pages. By boosting web traffic, safesurfs.net helps its creators gain even more dubious revenue. However, crooks’ money would come at your expense which is why you have to stay away from these links. Take care of your security and uninstall the intruder before it’s too late. Safesurfs.net spies on your browsing history but it could go one step further.
