Why are these ads dangerous?

ExtraBoost is an ad-supported application, which is why is continuously bombards you with so many pop-ups. If it is to continue its existence, it’s required to generate pay-per-click revenue and web traffic for the third parties that published it. If it fails to do so, it ceases to exist. And, since each ad it tricks you into clicking on produces profits and helps it proceed with its operations, the tool leaves nothing to chance! It doesn’t just throw random ads your way, hoping for the best. Oh, no. It spies on you. It studies you. It does everything it can, so it gets to know you better, so it can flood you with the “appropriate” ads, which will appeal to you and result in a click, i.e. cash. The tool observes your browsing habits so as to determine what your preferences include. When it understands what you like and dislike, it selects ads corresponding to your particular interests, and the bombardment commences. However, do NOT click on either one of these pop-ups as they’re immensely unreliable! A single click on a single ad leads to more unwanted malware installations, so ignore them no matter how enticing they may seem. Unfortunately, the program doesn’t merely monitor your online activities. It keeps a thorough record of every move you make. When it decides it has collected enough data from you, it proceeds to send it to the individuals behind it. After these people get their hands on your private information, they can use it as they see fit, and there’s nothing you can do to stop them. Do you think anything good will come from strangers with agendas having access to your personal and financial details? Don’t wait around to find out. Delete ExtraBoost the first chance you get!
