As the name lets on, PUP.Optional.NotChromeRun belongs to the PUP family. It’s a potentially unwanted program with adware-type capabilities. The tool is an utter plague on your PC. It sneaks in undetected and, then, wrecks everything. The more time the program spends on your system, the more opportunities it has to wreck it. With it around, you suffer redirects, pop-up ads, a malware risk, slower PC, system crashes, et cetera. But apart from everything else it puts you through, the PUP also places your privacy at risk. It’s designed that way. Like most cyber threats, it follows programming to steal and expose your private data. And, make no mistake! It WILL succeed if you delay acting against it. The tool begins to spy on you as soon as it enters your system. It keeps close track of your online activities. And, records every move you make while browsing. After it deems it has collected enough information, it goes on to send it. To whom, you wonder? Well, to the third parties that unleashed it onto the web. In other words, to cyber criminals. Are you willing to give these people access to your personal and financial data? Or, would you rather, protect it? Keep it from falling in the hands of wicked individuals with questionable intentions? The choice is yours to make. But think long and hard before you decide. Both your and your system’s well-being rest on your decision.

How did I get infected with PUP.Optional.NotChromeRun?

PUPs sneak into your system with slyness and subtlety. They use every known trick in the book to fool you into allowing them in. Yes, you allow these tools in. Just like how you allowed the install of PUP.Optional.NotChromeRun. Understand that, programs like it, cannot enter your system without you permitting it. So, if it’s plaguing your PC, you’re to blame. The tool asked whether you agree to install it. And, you did. If you hadn’t, you wouldn’t be stuck in your current situation. But don’t be too hard on yourself. At the time you agreed to install it, you had no idea you were doing it. The program doesn’t just pop up, and ask your approval. That leaves too much to chance. What if you say ‘No?’ Instead, it uses finesse, and it still does seek access. Only, in a manner more under the radar than you’d like. For example, the PUP often pretends to be a program or system update. It’s a fake, but you realize that when the damage’s already done. The tool leads you to believe you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, while you’re not. In actuality, you’re giving the green light to the cyber plague that is PUP.Optional.NotChromeRun. To keep that from happening, don’t give into naivety and rush. Don’t pick carelessness over caution. Infections prey on carelessness. So, go the opposite direction, and be even more thorough when installing tools or updates. Vigilance goes a long way. The lack thereof, only one – to infections.

Why is PUP.Optional.NotChromeRun dangerous?

PUP.Optional.NotChromeRun begins its mess-making as soon as it settles into your system. It doesn’t take long before its meddling manifests. All of a sudden, your browsing experience turns into an utter nightmare. Every time, you touch your browser, your screen gets taken over by pop-ups. You get flooded with ads. In-text, banner, just all kinds of ads! And, they’re not only annoying, but dangerous, as well. Why? Well, each ad that comes your way conceals malware. There are malicious programs, luring behind the pop-ups. And, if you’re not careful enough, you end up installing them. Confused? Let’s explain. Each time, you click a pop-up, by accident or choice, you allow the malware behind it into your PC. That’s because your click equals consent on these tools’ installment. Unless you wish to agree to install more unwanted malware, be wary what you press! Otherwise, there’s a chance you’ll flood your PC with infections. Should that happen, The Blue Screen of Death may be right around the corner. You should note that the possibility of that happening is rather minute. But minute, minuscule or insignificant are still a long way from non-existent. So, as small as the odds of the Blue taking over may be, are you willing to risk it? Don’t leave your system’s fate to chance. Don’t gamble with your privacy, for that matter! Protect it! Protect your PC. Do your best to locate and remove the nasty PUP, flooding you with so much unpleasantness. PUP.Optional.NotChromeRun does not belong on your PC. The sooner it’s gone, the better.
