How did I get infected with?

If you find yourself baffled at DNS Locker’ sudden, unexpected, and undoubtedly unwelcome appearance on your computer, know you’re not the only one. That confusion is pretty common among users, which suddenly found themselves stuck with the application. That’s because the tool’s skill of trickery and deceit is immense. Its mastery is so grand that it’s no problem for the application to not only get you to approve its installation but also to keep you oblivious to doing so. That’s right. That is why you are taken by surprise by DNS Locker. Even though, you technically gave your permission to its install, you don’t actually remember doing so. How come? Well, it’s quite straightforward. To avoid detection and detention, the tool uses several methods of invasion as a shield to hide behind and sneak in undetected. For example, it often hitches a ride with freeware or spam email attachments. It can also slither its way in via corrupted sites or links or by pretending to be a bogus update, like Java or Adobe Flash Player. Remember, DNS Locker prays on your gullibility and distraction and relies on your haste, so perhaps if you don’t provide them, you’ll manage to keep your PC infection-free. After all, a little extra attention couldn’t hurt. You have everything to gain and, apart from a few extra minutes of your time, nothing to lose.

If you allow your fear to take charge, you will do your best to delete the application the as soon as you first see it, which is the best course of action you can take. If you give into another emotion, basically anything other than fear and dread, you will end up experiencing regret. Why? Well, if you agree to leave the tool be on your PC, you’re only setting yourself up for a bad time. A very, very bad time. DNS Locker can, and will, mess up your system by obnoxiously redirecting you to corrupted websites, and don’t forget the vexatious, ever-flowing waterfall of pop-up ads it will expose you to. All of this meddling will ultimately lead to a slower computer performance and frequent system crashes. What’s more, as the pop-ups you’ll see so incessantly are immensely unreliable, they present you with a severe malware threat. Oh, yes. If you press a single one of the application’s advertisements, you’ll unwillingly agree to install more unwanted malware. So, to avoid getting stuck with even more malevolent tools, do NOT click on the ads no matter how enticing they seem! And, you can be sure they WILL look quite enticing. That’s because the tool is ad-supported. Does that appear to be unrelated? Well, it is. To continue its existence, DNS Locker is bound to generate pay-per-click revenue and web traffic for the third parties that published it. To increase its chances of successfully tricking you into producing clicks and, thus, make money for these people, the tool spies on you. It studies you until it determines what appeals to you, and then only bombards you with ads, corresponding to your unique interests. Unfortunately, it does more than merely monitor you. It keeps a thorough record of our every online move, and when it deems it has gathered enough data from you, sends it to these unknown individuals behind it. Does that seem like it will end well for you? Are you prepared to risk having your personal and financial information handed to strangers with agendas? Don’t gamble with your privacy! Delete DNS Locker now! It’s for the best.
