How did I get infected with?

Baladiya Setup is a trickster. It travels the web camouflaged and infects the unprepared users. Do not make its job easier! This adware is not a virus. It can’t “hack” your computer. Quite the contrary – the parasite needs you, the user, to approve its access. It can’t get installed without your “Yes.” The problem is that the adware knows how to ask. This parasite lurks in the shadows. It uses bundles, fake updates, and corrupted links. If you don’t pay attention to the red flags, you might “forget” to deny it access. Don’t make that mistake! No anti-virus app can protect you if you throw caution to the wind. Only your actions can prevent adware infections. So, don’t be lazy. Always take the time to do your due diligence! Don’t visit dodgy websites. Download software and updates from reliable sources only. And forget about the “Next-Next-Finish” setup strategy. More often than not, the apps we download off the web come bundled with bonus software. If you rush, if you don’t pay attention to the fine print, you are likely to infect your OS. Don’t rely on luck! If available, use the advanced/custom setup option. Deselect the unwanted extras and go through the terms and conditions. Don’t hesitate to abort the installation if you notice anything suspicious!
