How did I get infected with?

Gate Snapper is supposed to be promoted at its official web page gatesnapper.com but the site cannot be accessed at the moment. However, this does not really matter because the applications from the SuperWeb family are not distributed officially anyway. Chances are that Gate Snapper has entered your system after downloading some dubious free program. Such programs get installed together with a bunch of other applications that you would not like to have on your PC. It is also possible that you clicked on some ad promoting free system optimizers or scanners. All in all, if you are not careful with the content you access or acquire, you will surely end up with many infections on your PC.

These products and services are presented to users through the ads displayed by the application. Every time you click an ad, the creators of Gate Snapper earn more money and you are sent to some affiliate website. This is actually where the danger lies. On these web pages you could get directly infected with malware or at least convinced to download more useless and potentially harmful applications. Therefore, it is essential to avoid clicking ads by Gate Snapper. You should also do your best to remove the program from the PC right away.
