The menace has other plans. It invades through slyness. The adware lurks behind fake updates, corrupted links, software bundles, pirated software, and spam messages. It hides in the shadows and preys on your carelessness and naivety. Don’t make its job easier. No anti-virus app can protect you if you throw caution to the wind. Only your vigilance can prevent infections. Even a little extra attention can spare you an avalanche of problems. So, make the right choice. Be vigilant instead of careless. Don’t visit questionable 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, you might overlook a malicious extra. Don’t make that mistake. Always take the time to do your due diligence. If available, use the advanced/custom setup option. Deselect all unwanted bonus apps. And go through the terms and conditions before you agree to them.
