How did I get infected with?

ContentPlatform resorts to all kinds of trickery and deceit to gain access to your system. Seeing as how the tool requires your permission for its installation, it has come up with plenty of ways to get it. And, it’s usually so successful in its deception, and so sly, that you don’t even realize you’ve been infected by such a hazardous program even though you allowed it in. Confusing, isn’t it? Well, it’s actually pretty straightforward. The tool usually sneaks in undetected because you’re not paying as much attention as you should. For example, when installing freeware, most users don’t even read the terms and conditions. Instead, they just say “Yes” to all of them and hope for the best. That’s a ridiculous notion that leads to unwanted adware installations. Don’t throw caution to the wind! Be extra attentive and don’t rush, and maybe you won’t get stuck with ContentPlatform.

Why are these ads dangerous?

ContentPlatform is an ad-supported program, which means that if it’s to continue its operations, it has to generate pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published it. Each ad you click on produces profits for these people, and that’s why the application throws so many your way. After all, if it fails to make money, it ceases to exist. However, do NOT be foolish enough to click on the program’s pop-ups! As was already mentioned, that only leads to more malware slithering onto your computer. So, do your best to ignore the ads no matter how enticing they seem. Unfortunately, the threat of more malevolent tools infecting your system won’t be the biggest worry you’ll be faced with. The worst part of having this application as a guest is the fact that it places your privacy in harm’s way. As soon as it settles in your system, it starts to keep track of your online activities and catalog your every move. Then one day it sends the information it has collected from you to the individuals that published it. Think about it. Strangers will have access to your personal and financial data. Do you think anything positive will come from that? Protect yourself and your privacy, and delete ContentPlatform the first chance you get. It’s for the best.
