Why are these ads dangerous?

Ads by Jak throws so many pop-ups your way because it’s ad-supported. If you’re unsure of what that means exactly, it’s pretty straightforward. In a nutshell, if the application is to continue its existence, it has to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that support it. If it fails to do so, it ceases to exist. Each ad it tricks you into clicking on produces profits, and help it live to see another day. And, since every click counts, the program makes sure every ad counts, as well. Instead of bombarding you with random ads hoping for the best, the program floods you with specific ones, specially selected for you, and you alone. To decide which are the “appropriate” ads for you, the program spends some time getting to know you. It studies on you. As soon as it invades your PC, the tool starts to observe your online habits. When it understands what you like and dislike, it begins the waterfall of ads corresponding to your interests. Whatever you do, do NOT click on these pop-ups no matter how enticing they seem! They’re incredibly unreliable, and a click will only result in more unwanted malware installations. Unfortunately, Ads by Jak doesn’t stop at merely monitoring your browsing activities. It catalogs your every move, and when it determines it has gathered enough data from you, it proceeds to send it to the unknown people behind it. After these individuals have it, they can use it as they see fit, and there’s nothing you can do to stop them. Are you willing to hand your private life to wicked strangers with malicious agendas? The choice is yours. Think long and hard before you decide.
