External Source is categorized as an adware tool. This potentially unwanted program dupes you into approving its installation very subtly and slyly, without you even realizing it. However, once it slithers its way in, there’s nothing subtle about it as it proceeds to make a complete mess. The most blatant issue you’ll have to deal with due to External Source’s presence in your system is the never-ending array of pop-up advertisements. These ads appear incessantly. Every single time you attempt to use your browser, you are greeted by an ad. Just imagine how quickly this will go from merely annoying to utterly infuriating. And not only will these vexatious ads be frustrating, but they’ll also be highly damaging. Their continuous appearance leads to frequent system crashes and a slower PC performance. Also, if you click on them, you risk installing more unwanted malware. But these aren’t the only “perks” that go along with External Source. The worst problem you’ll be faced with is by far the security issue. The application spies on you and severely jeopardizes your personal and financial information. It’s programmed to steal your private details and hand them to malicious strangers. Are you going to let it? Delete External Source the first chance you get and avoid dealing with its daily messes.

How did I get infected with?

External Source requires your permission before it installs itself in your system. However, don’t be fooled that this will somehow allow you to spot the program in its attempts to sneak in your computer, and stop it. Because you won’t. This application is so masterful at deception that it not only deceives you into allowing it in, but also manages to stay hidden from your sight until it decides to show itself. The tool has an entire array of tricks up its sleeve and is willing to use every last one of them so as to gain access to your system. More often than not, External Source resorts to hiding behind freeware because most users are not nearly as attentive as they should be during its install, and that provides possibly the easiest way in. For some reason, users rush the process and opt to agree to all of the terms and conditions without considering the consequences that will follow their actions. They only realize their mistake when said consequences start piling up and messing up their system. Other ways of infiltration involve the use of spam email attachments, corrupted websites, and links or pretending to be a system or program update.

Why are these ads dangerous?

External Source doesn’t flood you with so many ads just for kicks. There’s a reason behind the bombardment, and that reason is the fact the program is ad-supported. If you’re not sure what that means, let’s elaborate. It’s pretty straightforward. If External Source wishes to continue its operations, it has to generate web traffic for specific websites and produce pay-per-click revenue for the third parties who support it. As you’ve probably guessed already, it does so with the help of the incessant, vexatious pop-ups. Each ad, you are foolish enough to click on, is profit for these individuals. However, as was already stated, the last thing you should do is click on the ads. That is if you wish to avoid getting stuck with more malware. If that’s fine with you, then carry on and click away. But even if you think you can bear with having more malicious tools in your system, there’s one issue you cannot possibly bear. That issue is the fact that External Source places your privacy in grave jeopardy. If you wish to avoid having your private details in the hands of unknown wicked people with malevolent intentions, delete this program as soon as you possibly can. You won’t regret it.
