Assist Point is required to seek your approval before it enters your system. However, don’t think that this tiny detail slows it down, because it doesn’t. Not only do you not see the program coming, but you also agree to install it without even realizing it. That’s right. The tool is THAT sneaky. Assist Point is extremely resourceful and a master of deceit, which is why it’s so easy for the application to dupe you into allowing it on your PC. More often than not, the tool hitches a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest way in. That’s because users tend to pay little to no attention during its install, and rush the whole process. Instead of carefully familiarizing themselves with the terms and conditions, they just agree to everything in haste. That is a horrible idea that leads to horrendous consequences. Well, that is unless you WISH to end up installing a malevolent adware tool like Assist Point. But if you don’t, be sure to not give into naivety, haste, and distraction. Remember that a little extra attention can save you a lot of headaches and troubles.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Assist Point throws so many pop-ups your way for a reason. It is an ad-supported application, which means that its entire existence relies on its ability to generate web traffic and produce pay-per-click profits for the third parties behind it. Each ad you are tricked into clicking on is profit for the individuals behind it. That is why the program leaves nothing to chance. In order to increase its chances of fooling you into clicking on its ads, it does its homework on you. As soon as it sneaks into your system, it starts observing your browsing habits. It gathers information on what you like and dislike, and once it determines what your preferences include, commences a bombardment of “appropriate” ads. Ads, which have the best chance of deceiving you into clicking on them. But whatever you do, don’t click on Assist Point’s pop-ups! They are highly unreliable, and if you click on even one, by choice or accident, all you’ll have to show for it is more malware getting installed on your PC. Unfortunately, the unwilling malware installations won’t be your biggest concern when it comes to this application. That’s because it doesn’t stop at merely monitoring you. Assist Point begins keeping a thorough record of your browsing activities and your every move as soon as it slithers into your system. It gathers data from you until it feels it has collected enough. Then it sends it to the unknown people who support it. Are you willing to hand your personal and financial details to strangers? Think long and hard before you answer.
