How did I get infected with?

There is such an incredibly rich bouquet of potential threats and infiltration methods on the Web that it’s almost impossible  to tell exactly how Delightful Deals managed to get itself installed. You didn’t download it itself, what options does that leave us with? First of all, you might have carelessly clicked some third-party web link, spam message or spam email-attachment open. Those are some of the oldest tricks in the book but they still work like a charm so hackers have no reason to give them up anytime soon. Another possibility is that you installed some freeware or shareware bundle off of the Internet and you failed to check in advance the programs that you accepted to download. Such negligent online behavior, as you can see, hides a genuine hazard for your safety. It takes a couple of minutes to install a malicious bundle filled with malware; however, it will take you much more time, energy and nerves to clean up the mess afterwards. Our advice is to always opt for the Custom/Advanced option in the Setup Wizard so you don’t get a greeting by some sly parasite the next time you use the machine. Never hesitate to deselect what you find suspicious and unreliable because the key to your own security is your own caution. Another thing that it’s good to keep in mind is the fact that reading the Terms and Conditions of the software you install is a really good idea and always pays off in the long run. Do you want to keep your PC completely virus-free and trustworthy? Then take your time and be careful.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Apart from its misleading name, this program exhibits so many other malicious traits, that leaving it unattended on the PC is the second worst thing you could possibly do in this scenario. The first thing is clicking the ads. Right after it gets successfully installed, the Delightful Deals parasite adds its nasty browser extension to all your browsers. Yes, that’s right, all of them. Being compatible with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, this thing makes sure that the mess it brings along will not remain unnoticed. That means from this moment on trying to avoid the parasite’s trickery is completely unnecessary. You can’t avoid anything. After it affects your browsers and makes some modifications behind your back, Delightful Deals then starts spewing commercials in your face. Whatever browser you try to use and whatever website you try to visit, the ads will be there waiting for you. Keep in mind that we’re talking about an ad-supported parasite so all links it generates are potentially harmful. The virus doesn’t discriminate between safe, corrupted and fake commercials so regardless of what kind of offer is generated on the PC screen, you have to restrain from clicking it. This is a very quick and convenient way to get more malware installed because it takes about as much a single click to infect your already infected machine much further. Tons of ads will bombard you in the form of bogus discounts, fake product offers, non-existent deals, corrupted links, etc. Does that sound good to you? Does ti makes you feel safe? You will feel even more anxious when you learn that Delightful Deals also has the nasty habit of monitoring your browsing-related information so hacker have access to some personal and sensitive data of yours. The whole point of having some private information is so it could remain private; however, cyber criminals have absolutely no problem selling your own data to questionable third parties thus generating profit at your expense.
