How did I get infected with?

Daugava is a pretty resourceful program. When it comes to finding a way to your computer, it’s a master in the arts of deceit and subtlety. The tool possesses such skills that it not only manages to gain access to your system, but it also keeps you oblivious to the fact that it has occupied your system. So, even though, it duped you into approving it in, you’re clueless to its presence. How? Well, easy. The tool parades right through the front door as you hold it in, only it’s in disguise. So, you have no idea you’re permitting a hazardous infection. More often than not, the application chooses to hide behind freeware or spam email attachments. But those aren’t the only means of infiltration it can use. Oh, no. There are plenty of hidden, yet utterly exposed paths leading straight to your system. For example, it can use corrupted sites or links as a shield to hide behind or pretend to be a fake system or program update, like Adobe Flash Player and Java. Do you see the pattern? All of these methods rely on your distraction, haste, and gullibility. Maybe, if you don’t rush and are a bit more cautious, you’ll manage to keep your computer adware-free. Remember, a little extra attention today, can save you a lot of troubles tomorrow.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Daugava doesn’t flood you with such excessive amounts of pop-ups for fun. There’s a reason behind this incessant bombardment. The program is ad-supported. Confused as to what that means exactly? Well, the tool is required to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that support it. In other words, it has to produce profits for these people if it wishes to proceed with its operations. If it fails, they take it down, and it ceases to exist. As each ad you see counts, seeing as how it’s a potential money-maker, the application makes sure to flood you with the “appropriate” ads. It doesn’t just bombard you with random ads. Oh, no. That leaves too much to chance. To avoid the fate of extinction, the program spies on you so as to increase its likelihood of success. It observes your browsing to study you. It tries to get to know you better, and understand what you like and dislike. When it’s able to determine your interests, it selects ads, corresponding to them. Then the flood begins. No matter how appealing these pop-ups may appear, do NOT click on even a single one. One click, be it by choice or accident, leads to you unknowingly agreeing to install more unwanted malevolent tools on your PC. But as severe and dangerous as the malware threat is, it pales in comparison to the security risk Daugava presents you with. It does more than merely observe your browsing. It keeps a thorough record of every move you make online. When it deems it has collected enough data from you, it sends it to the individuals behind it. Are you willing to hand your personal and financial details to strangers with possibly malicious agendas? Think long and hard before you decide whether this useless and damaging application is worth all of these troubles.
