From this moment on, trouble is about to get started and your headache every time you use the PC is about to get started too. How to neutralize the threat? Begin with the virus. Obviously, it’s in your best interest to get rid of Jogotempo as soon as possible.

How did I get infected with?

There are quite a lot of opportunities for hackers to spread their malicious creations on the Web. If you’ve had previous bad experiences with malware, you probably already know that you should avoid spam messages and spam email-attachments. However, that’s not all. It never is, actually. Crooks reach unattainable levels of creativity when it comes to parasites so you should ALWAYS keep an eye out for threats. Make sure you’re careful when you download programs off of the Internet and make sure you’re extra careful when you install freeware bundles. That means you should go for the Advanced option in the Setup Wizard instead of the Basic one as it allows you to remain in control of the software that gets installed. Check thoroughly all the programs that you’re agreeing to download. Then double-check them. However time-consuming this scheme is, keep in mind that removing a parasite after it already infected you, takes much more time, energy and nerves. The key to safety is caution and it’s your responsibility to protect the machine in front of you as well as your own privacy from infections. Therefore, take some extra time to make sure you know precisely what enters your PC and why it does so. Our advice is to stay away from unverified websites and to never take lightly any possible danger on the Web.

Why are these ads dangerous?

One quick check on the Jogotempo’s official website will give you a pretty good idea what to expect from this program. The entire page is an endless colorful mess of games and advertisements, however, there’s absolutely no information about the actual program whatsoever. There is no download option either. That should be enough of a reason for you to be suspicious concerning Jogotempo’s existence and intentions. And you would be more than correct to be suspicious. Once the virus gets successfully installed, it adds a browser extension to Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Then it injects your browsers with ads through the add-on. Let’s be clear – all of this happens completely without your permission as the parasite gets activated automatically right after installation. Your opinion on your own browser settings become even more irrelevant as time passes because the Jogotempo parasite could also modify their settings much further. You shouldn’t be surprised if the parasite also starts suggesting you to install some additional software/program update/toolbar. It’s very important to stay away from EVERYTHING that Jogotempo wants to force on you because you might end up accidentally installing malware. Keep in mind clicking the ads may lead to that very same result because most links the parasite generates are corrupted regardless of their beautiful facade as discounts, price comparisons and deals. Another surprise Jogotempo offers is the fact that this virus spies on you and monitors your private information. The hackers who stand behind the malicious Jogotempo application could use your own browsing history, search queries, passwords, pages visited, etc. for marketing purposes. How unhappy are you knowing that your personal data is in the greedy hands of crooks? To put an end to these shenanigans, you have to delete the virus and you will find a comprehensive removal guide below this article to help you do so.
