How did I get infected with?

WebSmart resorts to the usual antics in order to gain access to your system. The application relies on the old but gold methods of invasion so as to sneak in undetected. More often than not, it hitches a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest entry point. That’s because most users are highly distracted during its install. They rush the whole process and don’t even bother to read the terms and conditions. They just agree to everything and hope for the best. Well, instead, they get stuck with an entire bundle of horrendous repercussions of the unpleasant variety. If you wish to avoid dealing with WebSmart and its ever-growing pile of troubles, be more careful and don’t rush! Remember that a little extra attention today can save you a lot of problems tomorrow. Other ways of infiltration you should look out for as the tool often resorts to using them include hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites. Also, the application can pretend to be a bogus system or program update like Java or Adobe Flash Player.

Why are these ads dangerous?

WebSmart bombards you with so many pop-ups for a reason. The tool does so because it’s ad-supported. That means that if it is to continue its existence, it’s required to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the unknown third parties that published it. Each ad it tricks you into clicking on is profit for these individuals and helps it proceed with its operations. That’s why the application leaves nothing to chance. It doesn’t just throw random ads your way and hope for the best. Oh, no. The program observes your browsing habits in order to get to know you. It studies you until it understands what you like and dislike, what appeals to you. When it determines what your preferences include, it commences the flood of “appropriate” ads. Ads, which it feels will spark your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash. Don’t be foolish enough to click on the pop-ups! They’re immensely unreliable, and if you do click on even one, all you’ll have to show for it is more malware getting onto your computer. That’s right. By clicking on a WebSmart ad, you’re unwillingly agreeing to install more unwanted malware in your system. So, do your best to ignore the ads no matter how enticing they seem. But even the threat of more malevolent tools slithering their way into your computer will seem like a non-issue compared to the fact that the program jeopardizes your privacy. WebSmart spies on you. It keeps a thorough record of you every move, and when it decides it has collected enough data from you, it sends it to the people behind it. Are you willing to hand your personal and financial information to wicked strangers with agendas? The choice is yours to make.
