How did I get infected with?

Clicup resorts to the usual antics when it comes to infecting your system. It relies on deception and finesse so as to fool you into approving its installation. It’s so resourceful with its trickery that you realize you were deceived only after the ads start popping up. More often than not, this program infiltrates your computer by hiding behind freeware. It’s a preferred method because most users are not nearly as attentive as they should be when it comes to freeware installations. For some reason, they consider it a grand idea to not read the terms and conditions, and, instead, agree to everything in haste. That is, in fact, a superb idea, if you want to end up with adware such as Clicup. You have to be on the lookout since the application can also hide behind spam email attachments, corrupted websites, and corrupted links, or pose as a bogus system or program update. If you are attentive enough, maybe you’ll avoid getting stuck with it.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Clicup’s selling point may be that it’s a tool that helps you save money by providing you with coupons and showing you deals, but it’s much more than that. This bargain hunter is programmed to act as a spy, and steal your private information. As soon as it infects your system, it’s designed to lay low and collect data on you. It keeps track of every move you make, catalogs it, and once it feels it has enough, sends it to the third parties behind it. If you allow Clicup to stay, it will be the same as allowing these people access to your personal and financial information. That includes your name, phone number, email address, credit card/s details, bank account/s, everything. Are you willing to take such a tremendous gamble? Once you look past the sugary layer of marketing, it’s quite evident that Clicup harms you much more than help you. That’s why you should do what’s best for you and your computer, and delete this malicious and intrusive application as quickly as possible.
