Ad Network Performance is an adware-type of virus. It’s a potentially unwanted program you, most certainly, do NOT wish to have on your computer. It’s intrusive and malicious, not to mention, harmful. Once it sneaks in and settles on your computer, it starts wreaking havoc and doesn’t stop until you forcibly remove it. That’s the only way to cease the flood of troubles it will inevitably, and continuously, throw your way. If you choose otherwise and allow it to stay, you’ll severely regret it. That’s because the pile of daily messes you’ll be faced with because of it will only grow with each day you permit it to remain on your PC. One day, it might become so large that it may lead to you being greeted by The Blue Screen of Death. Oh, yes. That is a possibility. Granted, it is a rather slim one, but it’s one you should consider, and worry about, nonetheless. Especially, since you might avoid it altogether, if you just follow experts’ advice and delete the PUP the very first chance you get. By removing it at once, you also won’t be stuck dealing with the malware threat and the security risk it will inevitably impose on you. Not to mention, having to endure the infuriating waterfall of pop-up advertisements disrupting your browsing every single time you try to go online. And, also the accompanying slower PC performance and frequent system crashes, their constant presence ultimately causes. Does either one of these issues lead you to believe that Ad Network Performance is worth holding onto? Hardly. Do yourself a favor, and accept that the application is not worth even half the hassle it puts you through and delete the first chance you get. It’s the best thing you can do.

How did I get infected with?

The Ad Network Performance tool is immensely resourceful when it comes to finding a way into your system. It’s a master in the arts of slyness and subtlety, and through the old but gold means of infiltration, dupes you into approving its installation without you even realizing it. The application’s most commonly used method of invasion is through freeware because it provides the easiest access point to your system. Do you care to know why? Well, it’s quite simple. For reasons, far beyond comprehension, users don’t pay nearly as enough attention as they should during freeware installs. They throw caution to the wind and rush through the whole process. Instead of thoroughly familiarizing themselves with the terms and conditions, they opt to rely on luck. They agree to all of them and hope for the best. Well, that’s a poor strategy to say the least. The ‘rewards’ that go with it are headaches, grievances, and one giant pile of daily messes. To prevent adware like Ad Network Performance from slithering into your PC undetected, and then messing it up entirely, be more careful! Don’t give into carelessness and haste, and remember that a little extra attention goes a long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Ad Network Performance is an ad-supported application. Unsure of what that means exactly? Well, it’s pretty straightforward. If the program is to continue its operations, it’s required to generate revenue and web traffic for the third parties that published it. If it fails to meet its goal, these unknown individuals take it down, and it falls into oblivion. Naturally, the tool does its best to avoid the fate of extinction. Since it uses its pop-up ads to produce profits for these people, it makes sure to show you the right ads. That’s right. Don’t think you see random advertisements. Oh, no. Each ad that comes your way has gone through a special selection process to determine whether it’s appropriate for you. The program studies you before it begins the bombardment of pop-ups. It observes your online habits so as to learn what you like and what appeals to your personal interests. When it understands what corresponds to your unique preferences, it commences the flood of ads. It is advised NOT to press these pop-ups regardless of how enticing they may seem. To click on even a single one, be it by choice or accident, would be a colossal mistake. That’s because each click results in you unwillingly agreeing to install more malware on your computer. That’s right. The pop-ups are bundled with all kinds of malicious tools, and you clicking them helps to release them onto your system. So, don’t press even a single one Not unless you wish to overrun your PC with dreadful, hazardous infections. But, what’s worse, is that as severe as the malware threat is, it still pales in comparison to the most unfavorable issue you’ll be faced with, courtesy of the tool. Ad Network Performance places your personal and financial information in grave jeopardy as it spies on you. It doesn’t merely monitor your browsing, it also thoroughly catalogs each and every move you make online. When it deems it has gathered enough data from you, it proceeds to send it to the people behind it. Are you prepared to grant access to your private life to strangers with unclear, quite questionable, agendas? Here’s a hint: don’t. Instead of gambling with your privacy, and your system’s well-being, do yourself a favor and remove the PUP at once. The sooner you get rid of Ad Network Performance, the better.
