Why are these ads dangerous?

Knowledge Gains bombards you with so many pop-ups for a reason, and that reason is that it’s an ad-supported application. If the program is to continue its existence, it’s required to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published it. Each ad you click on produces profits for these individuals and helps it proceeds with its operations. That’s why Knowledge Gains leaves nothing to chance. Instead of flood you with random ads and hope for the best, the tool takes the time to get to know you better. It observes your browsing habits in the hopes of understanding what you like and dislike, what appeals to you. Once it determines what your preferences include, it picks ads that correspond to them and floods you with them. So, the ads that are plaguing your browsing experience are chosen specifically for you, and you alone. However, whatever you do, do NOT click on them as they are highly unreliable. Ignore them no matter how enticing they seem. Unfortunately, Knowledge Gains doesn’t merely monitor your browsing activities. The program catalogs every move you make, and when it decides it has gathered enough data from you, proceeds to send it to the people behind it. After your personal and financial information falls into their hands, they can use it as they see fit. Just try to imagine the consequences of malicious strangers having access to you private life. The possibilities are endless. Do yourself a favor, and get rid of Knowledge Gains as soon as you possibly can. You won’t regret it.
