How did I get infected with?

Adware displays the Ib.adnxs.com ads. This parasite sneaks into your computer through trickery and ruins your browsing experience. Its distribution tricks, however, don’t “hack” your computer. The adware is not an advanced virus. This parasite is a simple application. And as such, it needs you, the user, to approve its installation. No permission, no admission! The adware is bound to seek your consent. There is, of course, a catch. Having to ask is not the same as having to do so outright. The adware preys on your naivety. It hides in the fine print and gets installed when you “forget” to deny it access. Confused? This parasite hitches a ride with legitimate, third-party apps. It gets installed as a bonus to these applications when you rush through their installation processes. Do not make that mistake. Forget about the “Next-Next-Finish” setup strategy. No anti-virus app can protect you if you throw caution to the wind. Most of the apps we download off the Web come bundled with questionable bonuses. If you don’t pay attention to the red flags, you are very likely to infect your computer. Your vigilance, on the other hand, prevents infections. Even a little extra attention can spare you an avalanche of problems. Download software and updates from reputable, preferably official, sources only. If available, use the advanced/custom setup option. And of course, don’t skip the terms and conditions!

You can notice the full extent of the corruption only if you take a closer look at the ads. They are related to your online activities, aren’t they? Do not be surprised. The adware doesn’t waste time with random ads. It studies your browsing habits and bombards you with targeted ad campaigns. The parasite spies on you from the moment it invades. It records and analyzes your every move. What search queries you make, which links you follow, what videos you watch. The Incognito mode cannot hide you. The parasite knows everything!
