How did I get infected with?
Facebook News resorts to the usual trickery so as to gain access to your system. More often than not, it deceives you by hiding behind freeware. Freeware is its favorite method of invasion as it provides possibly the easiest entry point. For some reason, users have lead themselves to believe that there will be no consequences if they are distracted and rush through its installation process. Naturally, they’re wrong. Freeware is often bundled with all sorts of harmful malware tools, so it’s crucial to read the terms and conditions carefully, instead of just agreeing to everything. Facebook News can also infiltrate your PC by pretending to be a bogus system or program update. While you’re thinking you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, in reality, you’re allowing a dangerous and intrusive infection to enter. The adware tool can also use spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites as a means of invasion. There isn’t a way to stress this enough: be more attentive! A little extra attention can go a long way and spare you a lot of troubles and headaches.
Why are these ads dangerous?
Don’t think that Facebook News bombards you with this waterfall of pop-ups for no reason. The program is ad-supported, which is why it floods you with so many. If it is to continue its operations, it has to generate web traffic for specific websites and produce pay-per-click revenue for the third parties who support it. Every ad, you are tricked into clicking on, is profit for these individuals. In fact, in order to increase its chances of success, the application spends some time getting to know you. It observes your browsing habits so as to understand your preferences, likes, and dislikes. Once it finds out which ads will have a better shot at sparking your interest, it buries you with them. Unfortunately, the program doesn’t stop at only monitoring you. It’s programmed to start keeping track of your every move immediately after invasion. As soon as it gathers enough data from you, it sends it to the people behind it. Are you willing to give strangers with possible malevolent intentions access to your private, sensitive information? Do you think that’s a risk worth taking? Think long and hard before you answer.
