How did I get infected with?

The adware tool duped you. It got you to approve its installment, while still keeping you clueless. That’s right. The program asked whether you agree to install it on your PC. You said YES. It proceeded to invade your system, and then began to wreak havoc. And, all that happened, while you were oblivious. Only, after the adware chose to reveal itself, did you realize your PC harbors an infection. But until the CLICK-NOW-ON.ME page pops up, you remain clueless. Don’t be too hard on yourself, though. It’s not surprising that you didn’t catch on the tool’s trickery. It’s quite masterful in the art of deceit. Sure, it asks for your approval. But don’t think it’s straightforward about it. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The adware does seek your permission, but it does it in the sneakiest way possible. It lurks behind freeware, and spam emails. It poses as a bogus system or program update. There’s an entire array of methods, it can resort to trick you. But it’s up to you whether it succeeds.

That you throw caution to the wind, and skip doing any due diligence. Don’t make it easier for the cyber threat to invade. Be thorough. Be vigilant. Choose caution over carelessness. It’s the far better alternative.
