How did I get infected with?

DNS Keeper is a resourceful application. It has an entire array of tricks to turn to when it comes to slithering into your system. And, not only does the PUP manage to, indeed, find a way in, but it also sneaks in without you even realizing it. Oh, yes. The tool dupes you into holding the door for it as it walks right by you and infiltrates your PC while you’re looking at it, but not seeing it. That’s its level of deception. It’s a full-on master at sneaking in undetected. However, as skillful as the program is, it cannot succeed without you. Or, rather, without your carelessness. The application preys on your distraction, gullibility, and haste. All of its preferred means of invasion rely on you rushing and not being nearly as attentive enough. So, perhaps if you’re more careful and be extra thorough, you’ll manage to keep your system from getting infected by adware like DNS Keeper. Some of the most commonly used methods, the PUP tends to use involve hiding behind corrupted links or sites, freeware or spam email attachments. It can also pretend to be a false system or program update, like Java or Adobe Flash Player. Remember! A little extra attention goes a long, long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

DNS Keeper doesn’t throw ads your way for kicks. There’s a reason for the never-ending bombardment, and it’s that the tool is ad-supported. How does that relate, you ask? Well, it’s rather straightforward. If the program wishes to proceed with its operations, it has to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the individuals that published it. If it fails to do so, they take it down, and it falls into oblivion. Naturally, the PUP does everything in its power to avoid the fate of extinction. So, what does it do? It puts you through a never-ending bombardment of pop-up advertisements. After all each ad takes it one step closer to fulfilling its purpose. And, don’t think you see just some random ads. Oh, no. Each ad, the application displays, was carefully selected for you and you alone. Every pop-up you see was chosen to match your unique preferences. You’re probably wondering how the program can make the distinction between likes and dislikes? Well, that, too, is pretty straightforward. It studies you. It gets to know you better by observing your online activities. It monitors your browsing from the moment it settles in your system until it determines which ads will have a better shot at sparking your interest, and result in a click. And, when that time comes, it proceeds to flood you with ‘appropriate’ ads that correspond to your preferences. However, as was already explained, to click even on one single ad would be a horrendous mistake. No matter how appealing they may seem, do NOT the program’s pop-ups! Unfortunately, the tool doesn’t stop at only observing your online habits. It also keeps a thorough record of every move you make while browsing the web. And, when it deems it has collected a sufficient amount of data from you, it sends it to the unknown third parties that published it. Are you willing to hand your personal and financial information to strangers? Because make no mistake! To allow the PUP to stay on your PC is to agree to just that. So, think long and hard about the risks that follow DNS Keeper, and whether they’re worth taking. Here’s a hint: they’re not. Delete the application as soon as you become aware of its presence.
