How did I get infected with?

FoTest usually announces its presence when the annoying pop-ups start showing up. Until then, you are utterly oblivious to it being in your system. That’s because, while the program requires your permission for its installation, it not only manages to get it, but it also manages to keep you in the dark. That’s right. The application is so resourceful in its trickery that you have no idea you allowed in such a severe threat until the damage is already done. You’re probably wondering how FoTest sneaks past you so skillfully. Well, more often than not, it hides behind freeware, corrupted websites, corrupted links, or spam email attachments. But it can also pose as a false program or system update. This program prays on your distraction, so maybe if you’re a bit more attentive, you’ll avoid getting stuck with it.

Why are these ads dangerous?

FoTest is marketed as a helpful tool with which you can save money. Supposedly, it provides you with coupons and shows you all kinds of deals and bargains. If it sounds too good to be true, that’s because it is. There is a catch, of course. The program displays these coupons, deals and bargains via the incessant pop-ups. The issue here is that the ads are highly unreliable and harmful. If you are deceived into clicking on them, you’ll only regret it, as they will most likely lead to more malware installations on your computer. And if one malicious program can cause your system so much damage, just imagine what two or more can lead to. FoTest is designed to start keeping track of your browsing activities as soon as it invades your PC. But it doesn’t only observe you, what it does is much worse than merely spy on you. The application is programmed to keep track of every move you make and catalog it. Once it feels it has gathered enough data on you, it proceeds to send it to the third parties behind it. After it falls in their hands, these people can use it however they please, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Don’t gamble with your personal and financial information. Do what’s best for you and your computer, and delete FoTest as quickly as possible.
