Brace yourself! The news is bad. Adware triggers this unusual browser behavior. A parasite lurks in the shadows of your OS and causes issues. The intruder is an aggressive, ad-generating menace. It follows programming to generate revenue through pay-per-click and pay-per-visit mechanisms. The adware displays ads and gets paid when you click on them. But don’t imagine an ad or two. No, the parasite floods you with countless coupons and discounts. It inserts various banners on every website you visit. It also turns random text into hyperlinks, as well as opens pop-ups. And as if that’s not annoying enough, but the parasite also dares load third-party websites in new tabs and windows. This intruder knows no boundaries. It uses every opportunity to interrupt you with an ad of some kind. Click nothing, though. These “great deals” are not reliable. Adware displays them. You can’t expect them to be safe. Everything “Powered by B-l-0-g.com” is potentially dangerous. These ads arise unwarranted expectations at best. At worst, they redirect traffic to scam and malicious websites.

But don’t imagine a brute force attack. No, the adware is not an ingenious virus. This menace is a simple application. It gets installed only with the user’s permission. The adware is bound to seek your consent. Note, though, that having to ask is not the same as having to do so outright. The parasite hides in the fine print. It gets installed alongside third-party software. It infects your computer when you “forget” to deselect it. Don’t make that mistake! No anti-virus app can protect you if you give into naivety. Only your caution can prevent infections. Even a little extra attention can spare you an avalanche of problems. Download software from reliable (preferably official) sources only. When installing apps, take your time. Forget about the “Next-Next-Finish” strategy. If available, use the advanced/custom setup option. And before you hit that “Accept” button, go through the terms and conditions. If you can’t read the whole document, scan it with an online EULA analyzer. Opt out of the installation if you notice anything suspicious!

Notifications urge you to “Approve” and “Install” extensions. Commercials pause your videos. The numerous ads burden your browser and make it prone to freezing and crashes. You face an avalanche of errors. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! You are stuck with an adware parasite. This intruder is not a mere annoyance. It is meddling and very dangerous. Just take a closer look at the ads. They are related to your browsing activities, aren’t they? That’s because you are under surveillance. The adware spies on you from day one. It studies your browsing habits and uses the collected data to turn you into a target. Everything “Brought to you by B-l-0-g.com” is based on the websites you visit, the links you follow, the videos you watch. Do you think that ends well? The adware knows your every online activity. And doesn’t keep the collected data confidential. This parasite sells everything to unknown third parties. If you are out of luck, some pieces of data, your search queries, for example, may leak personal and financial details. Don’t take unnecessary risks! Remove the adware before it gets a chance to cause you harm!
