Thirteen Degrees is a potentially unwanted adware program. It has the potential to cause you a whole bunch of grievances if you allow it to remain on your computer, instead of taking actions towards its removal.

Although they’ll be extremely obnoxious, apart from annoying you to no end, they’ll also cause quite a few damages. As they pop up ever single time you try to go online, which means they appear quite often, you’ll start to experience a slower PC performance and frequent system crashes. But both these issues will seem like a walk in the park compared to the gravest one you’ll be faced with, courtesy of Thirteen Degrees – the security risk. The program spies on you in an attempt to steal your private information and hand it to the strangers that published it. Don’t let it succeed!

How did I get infected with?

Thirteen Degrees sneaks into your system undetected by hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted links or websites, or freeware. Its portfolio of infiltration methods also includes posing as a bogus system or program update. For example, imagine the following scenario. You’re entirely convinced that you’re updating your Java or, say, your Adobe Flash Player. However, a while after you’re done with the update process, you realize that you weren’t actually updating anything, but installing adware. Oh, yes. The application is a master when it comes to fooling you into giving it the green light. Also, it successfully keeps you oblivious to its existence until it decides otherwise. It usually reveals itself when it starts the bombardment. Get rid of it immediately after that or you’ll regret it.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Thirteen Degrees is a malicious and intrusive program that incessantly floods you with a never-ending waterfall of pop-up ads. But don’t think they’re for not. It’s because of the ads that the application manages to proceed with its operations. Confused? Well, the tool is ad-supported. That means that if it is to continue its existence it has to generate pay-per-click revenue and web traffic for the people behind it. And, this is where the ads kick in. Each pop-up you press helps the tool live to see another day. If it fails to trick you into clicking on its ads, it ceases to exist. That’s why the program does its best to find the most appropriate ads for you instead of just flooding you with random ones. It takes time to study you, and when it learns what your preferences include, only throws pop-ups that will appeal to you. Don’t fall victim to the tool’s deception! Ignore its pop-ups no matter how enticing they seem. As was already mentioned, the application spends some time lurking on your PC before the flood begins. That’s when it observes your browsing activities, so as to better understand you. Unfortunately, it doesn’t just monitor you. It keeps track of every move you make and catalogs it. Then it sends the collected information to the people behind it. Think on that. Strangers with unclear, questionable intentions will have access to your private life, all of your personal and financial details. Are you going to allow that to happen? Protect yourself and your PC, and get rid of Thirteen Degrees at once!
