Help4u is a malicious and intrusive adware application. It’s highly unreliable, deceptive, and harmful. It slithers its way into your system by means of slyness and subtlety, but once it’s in, there’s nothing subtle about it. After the tool latches onto your computer, it starts wreaking all sorts of havoc and causing all kinds of trouble. Shortly after infiltration, it commences a full-on bombardment of pop-up ads. Each and every time you try to go online, your browsing will be interrupted by a never-ending stream of pop-ups. The only way to cease this disturbance is to get rid of the application entirely. If you choose not to, you WILL regret it as you’re only setting yourself up for a bad time. The obnoxious ads are just the beginning, the tip of the iceberg. If you allow Help4u to stay, you better brace yourself for a whole bundle of problems. You’ll be forced to endure a slower computer performance and frequent system crashes, and, also, to deal with a malware threat and a security risk. These are all issues you can avoid altogether if you don’t delay deleting the program. Get rid of Help4u as soon as you first become aware of its presence. It’s for the best, and you’ll save yourself a ton of headaches and troubles.

 

How did I get infected with?

Help4u resorts to the usual antics in order to gain access to your system. The tool is quite resourceful and a master in the arts of deceit. In fact, it’s so skilled, that it has no problem duping you into approving its installation. And, not only that, but the program also keeps you oblivious to the fact that you did. That’s right. You have no idea you allowed a hazardous infection to invade your computer, and by the time you realize that, the damage is already done. More often than not, the application sneaks in undetected y hitching a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest entry point. That’s because users rush through its installation and don’t even bother reading the terms and conditions. Instead, they just agree to everything and hope for the best. Well, what they get is adware. If that’s something you wish to avoid, be more careful! Help4u prays on your distraction, naivety, and haste. So, maybe if you don’t provide them, you won’t get stuck with it and be forced to deal with its ever-growing pile of problems. Remember, a little extra attention today can save you a lot of troubles tomorrow.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Help4u’s selling point is that it’s a helpful tool. Supposedly, it’s a helpline that assists all of the young people between the ages of 13 and 25. That mean everyone, who’s still in secondary school, college or university can take advantage of this application. The program claims to help them with all of their problems, anything and everything from emotional and social issues, to personal and learning-related ones. The tool is advertised as a “listening ear” that’s always there to guide these young people through their troubles, and help them in any way possible. That sounds incredible, but, unfortunately, it’s nothing more than a mere marketing ploy. Despite how it’s advertised, this application is malevolent, intrusive, deceitful, and, above all, harmful. It harms you much more than it helps you. Once you look past the smoke and mirrors of marketing, it’s quite evident that the negatives far outweigh the positives. For one, the never-ending waterfall of pop-ups the tool incessantly bombards you with, are not only infuriating, but also highly unreliable. They present you with a severe malware threat. If you click on even one pop-up, by accident or choice, all you’ll have to show for it will be more malevolent tools slithering their way into your system. But the worst part of getting stuck with adware such as help4u is the fact that it jeopardizes your personal and financial information. The tool spies on you and keeps a thorough record of every move you make. When it determines it has collected enough data from you, it sends it to the people behind it, who can then use it as they see fit. The question is, are you going to grant access to your private life to strangers with agendas? The choice is yours.
