How did I get infected with?

There are many ways for the Bigpicturepop.com adware to travel the web. Some of the most commonly used techniques are via spam emails and torrents. It may sound trivial, but let’s say it one more time. Don’t open emails from unknown senders. Scammers are very imaginative nowadays. They won’t hesitate to steal logos and fabricate stamps to lure you into downloading an attached file. Crooks tend to write on behalf of well-known organization or companies. They would also disguise the virus as an invoice or job application, or something entirely different. Before even opening an email, check the sender’s contacts. You can do so by entering the questionable email address into some search engine. If this email was used for shady business, someone must have complained online. However, this method is not flawless. Be vigilant and doubting. Judge every situation for yourself. We can give you one more tip for verifying suspicious emails. If you receive a letter from an organization, visit their official website. There, under the contact section, you can find their official email address. Compare it with the one you have received a message from. If they don’t match, delete the spam email. Adware applications are lurking all over the Internet. Therefore, be careful what you do online.

Why is this dangerous?

The Bigpicturepop.com adware sneaked into your computer unnoticed and wrecked it. It modified your browser’s settings. Now, it is spying on you. Unfortunately, we are not kidding. Everything you do online is monitored. The malicious app is using that data to select advertisements that will appeal to you. Furthermore, it is also selling this information to third parties. There is nothing private anymore. The adware can even “see” your user manes and passwords. Be extremely careful where you are logging into. Avoid banking services and social media while this pest remains active on your machine. The ads you are seeing are not safe either. The Bigpicturepop.com adware uses a pay-per-click marketing system. For every ad you click on, the owners of the furtive application will be paid. All big search engines are using such marketing systems. However, unlike them, the Bigpicturepop.com adware has no checking mechanism. Anyone willing to spend some money can use its services to promote. Hackers often use adware programs to spread malicious ads. If you click on a corrupted advertisement, you will be redirected to an infected website. One click is all it takes for a dangerous virus to be distributed to your computer. Of course, not all ads displayed by the adware are malicious. Yet, there is no way to tell which is which. Avoid all advertisements while this parasite remains on your machine.
