Do you get redirected to Edematousliterature.com? That means you’re stuck with an adware-type infection. Adware is a common sight online. These parasites take over your default browser settings and bring along commercials. All sorts of commercials. All the time. If you don’t think this is irritating, wait till you see for yourself the pile of pop-ups, pop-unders and other web links. What you’re dealing with is a notoriously annoying, obsessive type of virus. It injects your once trusty browsers with an endless parade of commercials. First things first, the parasite usually gets installed in silence. Your permission isn’t necessary simply because adware uses secretive methods. It then begins to modify your default browser settings. Have you already noticed the brand new extension added to your browsers by the virus? This plugin is the reason you’re now bombarded with pop-ups on a daily basis. By installing a certain add-on, the adware effectively destroys your online experience. You’re now bombarded with useless, unwanted commercials every single time you browse the Web. You might come across discounts, coupons, product deals and offers, price comparisons, “best prices”. It goes without saying all these ads are incredibly untrustworthy. After all, any commercial generated by a PC infection should be avoided. Even if the pop-ups seem attractive, stay away from these tricky advertisements. Chances are, some of them lead you to malware and others try to sell you non-existent products. Which option sounds better to you – compromising your machine further or losing money? If the answer to this question is “neither”, avoid the ads. You also get redirected to Edematousliterature.com and other unknown websites. This is yet another way for crooks to harass you because you end up unable to find anything online. Not only are your browsing activities demolished but you’re also exposed to cyber threats. Bear in mind some of the pages you may get redirected to are dangerous. You could download more infections in the blink of an eye so be careful. Instead of letting this pest harass you, locate the adware and uninstall it. There is nothing to lose by deleting a parasite. On the other hand, there is quite a lot to gain. The infection might also generate some corrupted software updates and other third-party web links. As if that wasn’t enough, this program jeopardizes your privacy by stealing browsing-related details. Consider your private life online no longer private. Hackers get free access to your browsing history, usernames, passwords, IP addresses, email addresses. They have plenty of monetizing platforms to choose from so your data is in danger. And yes, it may get sent into the wrong hands.

How did I get infected with?

As mentioned, most viruses rely on secretive, stealthy distribution methods. That gives you a solid reason to watch out for infections next time you browse the Web. When you download bundled freeware or shareware, opt for the Custom option. It allows you to spot and be able to deselect a potential intruder before it lands on board. Even though many people rush the installation process, skipping steps is ill-advised. You may accidentally agree to give green light to numerous cyber parasites. It goes without saying you’re the one who will have to deal with the virus after your machine gets infected. To save yourself the hassle, be in control of the installation process. If you do notice some “bonus” program in the bundle, get rid of it ASAP. Make sure no virus manages to get downloaded again and be cautious online. Another rule of thumb is to read the Terms and Conditions instead of just click “I accept”. Hackers only need a single moment of negligence to infect your computer. Do not give them a chance to cause you any damage.

Why is this dangerous?

The adware-type nuisance modifies all your browsers. It adds a plugin to them but you may also notice random toolbars and other changes. What’s even more worrisome than having your settings altered is being exposed to more infections. Once the virus messes with your browsers, the stubborn commercials appear. The Edematousliterature.com pop-ups come in various shapes and are anything but beneficial. You could be more than positive these ads will not help you improve your online shopping experience. Also, the parasite might cause your browsers to crash and freeze. It even steals private data thus giving hackers more opportunities to make money at your expense.
