How did I get infected with?

DeskCut is a sneaky and resourceful application. It’s a master of deception, and through slyness and finesse, manages to slip through the cracks and right into your system. Usually, it sneaks in when you’re not nearly as careful as you should be. For example, when dealing with freeware installations, most users tend to rush and throw caution to the wind. Instead of being extra careful and thoroughly familiarize themselves with the terms and conditions they are asked to agree to, they just say “Yes” to all of them. Why they think that’s a good idea is a mystery. It’s a horrible one, which results in quite the horrendous repercussions. Apart from using freeware as a means of infiltration, DeskCut also often turns to spam email attachments, corrupted links, or sites and uses them as a shield to hide behind. What’s more, it can pretend to be a bogus program or system update, as well. So, remember to avoid haste and distraction, and don’t give into your naivety. Don’t be careless and remember that a little extra attention today can save you a lot of troubles tomorrow.

Why are these ads dangerous?

DeskCut bombards you with so many pop-ups for a reason. It does so because it’s an ad-supported tool. In other words, if the application wishes to continue its operations, it’s required to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published it. If it fails to fulfill its objective, it gets taken down. To avoid that fate, the program does everything in its power to increase its chances of successfully tricking you. Once it sneaks into your PC undetected, it lays low and studies you. It monitors your browsing activities so as to form an opinion of you. After it’s able to determine what appeals to you, what you like and dislike, it selects the appropriate ads to throw your way. Then the bombardment begins. So you’re not flooded with random ads, but with carefully selected ones, which match your preferences. No matter how enticing the ads seem, ignore them and don’t click on even a single one! They’re incredibly unreliable. A single click, be it by accident or choice, leads to you unknowingly agreeing to install more malware on your computer. But even that will seem like a non-issue compared to the grave jeopardy the program places upon your private information. DeskCut doesn’t just observe your browsing. It keeps a thorough record of everything you do and then sends the collected information to the individuals behind it. The question is, are you going to let it? Do what’s best for you and your system, and delete DeskCut immediately! Your future self will be thankful.
