The Psuaservice.exe process is legitimate. It is associated with Panda Cloud Antivirus. Unfortunately, it appears that the crooks use the same name to camouflage a malicious process. If you have not installed Panda Cloud, you are probably dealing with a parasite. The Psuaservice.exe parasite is an intrusive ad-generating program which falls under the PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) umbrella. Currently, there is no evidence that supports the theory that this file is a full-fledged virus. The PUP is potentially malicious. It may lure its victims into installing other malware. It is also quite likely to steal sensitive information. This parasite monitors your browsing-related data and uses the collected information as a base for ad-targeting. It is programmed to take control of your web browser and to use it as an ad-displaying platform. The PUP injects various adverts on every website you load, redirects your traffic to sponsored pages and opens pop-ups/new tabs. It generates revenue for every advert you click on. And thus, it has no intentions of limiting the number of adverts you get exposed to. Quite the opposite. Its strategy involves flooding its users with advertisements. The more adverts you see, the bigger the chance you click. Unfortunately, that means that the risk of clicking on a corrupted one is also higher. The PUP has no security mechanism. It does not verify the adverts nor the advertisers behind them. Numerous crooks use such parasites to spread misleading and false content. An unverified advert may arise unwarranted expectations at best. At worse, it will redirect you to scam and potentially infected websites. Do not play with your luck. Remove the Psuaservice.exe PUP as soon as possible!

How did I get infected with Psuaservice.exe?

The Psuaservice.exe PUP cannot infect your PC on its own. This parasite is not that advanced. To enter, it needs help. Your help! That is not a bad joke. It was you the one who installed this parasite. Not intentionally, of course. The PUP tricked you. It stole your approval. All it needs to succeed is one second of carelessness. The parasite lurks behind software bundles, fake updates, and torrents. If you don’t pay attention to the fine print, you are very likely to install this or another similar invader. Don’t make their job easier. Be very careful what you are giving your approval to. Be extra careful when you install new software. Always opt for the Advanced option in the Setup Wizard. Many software developers attach extra apps to the payload files of their programs. Under the Advanced option, you will be presented with a list of all extras. You will be given the opportunity to deny them access. If you use the Standard installation option, however, you won’t be notified that additional apps are about to be installed. The setup wizard will install them automatically. This is your computer. You decide what to be installed on it. Don’t let others make this decision for you. Always use the Advanced installation. And do not skip the Terms and Conditions/EULA. If you don’t have the time to read the whole document, use an online EULA analyzer to scan it. If you detect anything out of the ordinary, abort the installation immediately!
