En.savefrom.net promotes an app that helps you download videos from video-sharing platforms. Once the application calls your PC “home,” however, it reveals its true face. It is an ad-generating menace. Security experts classify these utilities as PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). They are parasites that turn your web browser into an ad-displaying platform. The PUP inserts various ads on every website you visit. It also turns random text into hyperlinks, as well as pauses your videos for commercial breaks. And it doesn’t stop here. The PUP is also the culprit behind the annoying pop-ups that urge you to “Accept” questionable modifications. Click nothing! The ads are displayed by a parasite. You can’t expect them to be safe, much less trustworthy. Everything “Powered by En.savefrom.net” is unreliable. These ads arise unwarranted expectations at best. At worst, they lure people into online traps. That’s the nature of the parasite. The PUP exists to generate revenue, not to guarantee your well-being. As long as it gets its fees, any crook out there can use its services. Bear this in mind the next time you see an irresistible offer. With a PUP lurking in the background, you are very likely to end up on a dangerous website. Do not test your luck! Do yourself a huge favor and remove the parasite. The sooner, the better!

How did I get infected with?

The En.savefrom.net pop-ups appear by courtesy of a PUP. This parasite sneaks into your computer and throws you into a whirlwind of ads. More often than not, the users are surprised by the ads and jump to the wrong conclusion that they are dealing with a virus. Luckily, that’s not the case. The PUP is a simple app. It can’t replicate itself, neither can it infect your entire OS. The parasite is quite limited in its abilities. This includes its infiltration. The PUP needs you, the user, to approve its installation. It can’t proceed without your “Yes.” The parasite is bound to seek your consent. Note, though, that having to ask is not the same as having to do so outright. The parasite is a deceiver. It steals your permission in the sneakiest, most deceitful way possible. This pest hides in software bundles, pirated apps, corrupted links, and spam messages. It travels the web camouflaged and infects your computer when you let your guard down. Do not make that mistake! Choose caution over carelessness. Your vigilance can prevent PUP infections. Don’t visit questionable websites. Download software and updates from reliable sources only. And forget about the “Next-Next-Finish” setup strategy. When available, select the advanced/custom option. Deselect the unwanted bonus apps and go through the terms and conditions. If you can’t read the whole document, scan it with an online EULA analyzer. Even a little extra attention can spare you an avalanche of problems. Don’t hesitate to abort the installation if you notice anything suspicious!

Why is this dangerous?

The En.savefrom.net ads are a plague. You can’t so much as touch your browser without getting flooded with coupons and discounts. Pop-ups appear out of the blue. Questionable websites load in new tabs. Random text turns into hyperlinks. Banners “Brought to you by En.savefrom.net” greet you even from web pages that used to be ad-free. That’s because you are dealing with a parasite. The PUP uses every opportunity to interfere with your browsing activities. It is annoying, meddling, and highly irritating. It, however, is also quite dangerous. If you just take a close look at its ads, you will realize that you are in serious trouble. You are under surveillance! The “Ads by En.savefrom.net” pop-ups are based on the websites you visit, the videos you watch, the search queries you make. Even your activities under the Incognito mode trigger ads. That’s how the PUP operates. It studies your browsing habits and uses your preferences against you. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This menace also threatens to leak confidential information! The PUP sells the collected data to third parties. If you run out of luck, some pieces of data, your search queries, for example, may contain personal and financial details. Do not take unnecessary risks! Take immediate action against the PUP. Remove the parasite ASAP!
