Discount Ratio is a malicious computer program that will quickly change the proportion of corrupted web links to safe advertisements on your PC screen. And you can be more than certain that the new ratio will NOT be in your favor. Being a potentially unwanted adware threat, this thing will make a great effort to cause you a headache. It starts with an endless parade of useless ads, continues with bogus program updates that the parasite keeps shoving in your face, and ends with stealing your entire browsing-related information. That means till the moment you finally decide to remove discount ratio from your machine, you might be faced with numerous malware issues, financial scams and even identity theft. The fact that discount ratio is very similar to all other adware-type programs out there should speak for itself and convince you that this program is neither useful nor harmless. Discount ratio’s presence on you machine means nothing but trouble and there is absolutely no doubt that it has to be uninstalled as soon as possible. You don’t want the parasite to get out of hand, do you? Then stop its shenanigans on time and get rid of it.

How did I get infected with?

It may seem like a shot in the dark but we have a hunch that you download software off of the Internet quite often. Is that so? And what are the chances that you normally use unverified websites to install said programs? And also, is there a possibility that you usually go for software that comes for free? Then it’s rather safe to assume you fell victim to the infamous stealthy distribution method of software bundling. It’s an incredibly easy thing for hackers to attach a PC virus to the program package without you knowing it. As a matter of fact, it’s equally easy to catch the threat on time and deny it access to your machine and yet, most people fail to do that. All you have to do is choose the Advanced or Custom option in the Setup Wizard. Remember, there are enough parasites circling the Web to keep you cautious and attentive every single time you do something online. We also recommend you to stay away from any piece of software that doesn’t look trustworthy because, chances are, it really isn’t.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The first major indication that this program is malicious is the fact that it installs a browser extension without bothering to ask for permission first. Discount ratio is perfectly compatible with all of the most commonly used browsers out there so it quickly takes down Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Then the parasite injects your once-trusty browsers with a huge variety of ads making it next to impossible to search the Web effectively. You will be seeing an abundance of discounts, deals, offers, price comparisons, random pop-ups ads and so on till your overwhelmed browser just gives up and starts occasionally crashing and/or freezing. Unfortunately, wasting your time is not what discount ratio’s developers aim for. It’s wasting your money. That’s why, unless you’re willing to become a sponsor for hackers voluntarily, you will avoid clicking those ads. The program is entirely ad-supported which means all web links on your PC screen are sponsored and probably fake. Furthermore, hackers generate profit out of displaying you ads, not displaying you SAFE ads. There’s quite a difference, right? Keep in mind that every single click hides the potential risk of more malware getting installed because some of the commercials could and will be corrupted. Trust us on this one – it isn’t a risk worth taking. You should also know that the parasite has access to your personal information such as IP address, email addresses, passwords, search queries, browsing history, etc. What happens to your data afterwards? It goes straight into the greedy hands of hackers. What happens to it after that, however, is a mystery. They could sell it to unreliable third parties or use some other dubious monetizing tactic to make money at your expense. Worst case scenario is identity theft. As you can clearly see, discount ratio is one huge inconvenience that your computer most certainly doesn’t need. And neither do you. To put an end to the parasite’s manipulations, please follow the removal guide down below and delete the virus for good.
