How did I get infected with?

The adware, behind Bodelen.com, is sneaky. It turns to the old but gold methods, when it comes to invading your PC. Not only does it successfully do so, but it does it undetected. Yes, it slips right by you, and you haven’t a clue of its infiltration. That may seem odd, considering it needs your approval on its entry. But odd or not, it’s fact. It’s pretty simple. Let’s explain. Yes, an exchange does occur. The infection does ask for your permission on its admission. Only, it does it in the most covert manner possible. As stated, it’s a sneaky threat. It hides behind freeware, or spam emails. Or, corrupted links and sites. It can even pose as a system or program update. Like, a fake Java, for example. The infection has many tricks up its sleeve. It has an array of methods to use and trick you. But neither one can succeed unless you’re careless. The adware needs your carelessness. It preys on your distraction, and naivety. It needs you to rush, and not do any due diligence. That eases its covert invasion. Why would you ease an infection’s infiltration? Don’t choose carelessness over caution. Take the time to be thorough. Read terms and conditions, and know what you agree to. Even a little extra attention goes a long way.

Why is this dangerous?

The adware forces the Bodelen.com page on you, all the time. No matter what you do, it seems to pop up on your screen. You get redirected to it, when you open a new tab. It appears among the results, when you type a search. Also, every ad you get suck with, is ‘Powered by Bodelen.com.’ In-text, pop-up, banner. That’s a lot of ads. And, the continuous meddling isn’t only a grave nuisance. It also brings even more issues your way. Due to the incessant interference, your PC slows down. Lagging becomes part of your daily routine. Your system also suffers frequent crashes. And, these are only the surface issues. There are worse ones. The one that tops them all off, is the security hazard. Do yourself a favor, and don’t extend the adware’s stay beyond the point of discovery. Once it announces itself via Bodelen.com, act! Find and delete it. The sooner, the better.
