How did I get infected with?

WebDiscover is a resourceful application that sneaks into your system undetected despite having to ask for your approval before its installation. If you’re confused as to how it manages to do that, don’t be. It’s pretty straightforward. The program is a master in the arts of deceit. By resorting to slyness and subtlety and with the help of the old but gold means of infiltration, it dupes you into agreeing to install it while still keeping you oblivious to it. More often than not, the tool hitches a ride with freeware or spam email attachments. It can also hide behind corrupted links or websites or pretend to be a bogus system or program update, like Java or Adobe Flash Player. If you wish to keep this adware away from your computer, make sure you’re extra careful and don’t rush. WebDiscover prays on your distraction and naivety. Don’t throw caution to the wind! After all, a little extra attention goes a long, long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

WebDiscover is an ad-supported program, which is why it bombards you with so many pop-ups. It does so as that is the only way for the application to continue its existence. If it wishes to proceed with its operations, it has to generate web traffic and produce pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published it. If it fails, it ceases to exist. So, to avoid failure and oblivion, the tool studies you. Seeing as how the more ads you click on, the bigger the profits, the program does everything it can to get you to click on more pop-ups. To increase its chances of success, it observes your online habits, gathering information on what you like and dislike. Once it understands what appeals to you, it selects the appropriate ads that correspond to your preferences and have the best shot at sparking your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash. So, don’t think you see random ads. Oh, no. They’re chosen especially for you and you alone. But don’t let that trick you! No matter how enticing they seem, ignore them and don’t click on even a single one. If you’re foolish enough to press a pop-up, you’ll regret it as a click equals you agreeing to install more unwanted malware without you even realizing it. Unfortunately, even the malware threat pales in comparison to the security risk WebDiscover places upon you. The tool does more than monitor your browsing. It keeps a thorough record of every move you make, and when it decides it has gathered enough data from you, sends it to the individuals behind it. Think on that. If you permit the program to stay on your PC, it’s as if you agree to hand your personal and financial information to strangers with questionable intentions. Are you? Protect yourself and your system, and delete WebDiscover as soon as you possibly can.
