It goes without saying you can no longer find what you search for online. You’ll also notice various pop-ups and other suspicious, intrusive commercials. Ah, the commercials. Being an adware-type infection, this program covers your PC screen with ads. All sorts of ads. Get ready to be seeing random advertisements on every single website you visit. Coupons, discounts, product deals, product offers, price comparisons, “best prices”, etc. None of these was ever meant to save you time and/or money while shopping online. Hence, the ads may seem attractive but they’re actually dangerous. These web links are sponsored. That means they might lead to all kinds of questionable websites full of malware. Compromising your PC further has never been easier. All you have to do is click some of the parasite’s ads. Voila. To prevent installing more viruses, stay away from the pop-ups.

Those are just as unsafe as the product commercials. The parasite slows down your PC speed. It might cause your browsers to crash and freeze.

Last but not least, avoid illegitimate websites and bundles. Watch out for parasites before it’s too late.

Why are these ads dangerous?
