After it slithers its way into your system by means of deception and finesse, it proceeds to wreak all kinds of havoc. For one, you’ll be forced to endure an entire array of pop-up ads showing up every single time you try to browse the web. Shortly after the application latches onto your computer, it commences a full-on bombardment of pop-ups, which will only cease if you delete the tool altogether. If you don’t, you should brace yourself for a whole bundle of troubles you’ll have to deal with. Troubles that will make the never-ending waterfall of pop-ups seem like a walk in the park. Due to the ads’ continuous appearance your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl, and your system will experience frequent crashes. Furthermore, the ads pose a grave malware threat. Since they’re highly unreliable, if you click on even one, all you’ll have to show for it is more unwanted malware getting installed on your PC. But the worst part of having adware is the severe security risk it places upon you. The program jeopardizes your personal and financial information by spying on you. It steals your private details and sends them to unknown third parties with agendas. The question is, are you going to allow that to happen?

How did I get infected with?

FauxResults resorts to the usual antics in order to gain access to your system. The application is so resourceful when it comes to tricking you into allowing it in that, not only do you give it the green light, but you also have no idea that you did. That’s right. The program keeps you utterly oblivious to the fact that you approved the installation of a hazardous infection, which is now lurking somewhere on your PC. The moment of realization usually hits you when the ads start popping up. The tool relies on the old but gold methods of invasion in order to sneak in undetected. That includes hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites or posing as a bogus system or program update. However, more often than not, the application prefers to hitch a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest entry point. That’s because users tend to rush freeware’s installation process, and instead of carefully reading the terms and conditions, they just agree to everything. Unless you WISH to end up with adware like FauxResults, do NOT give into naivety, distraction, and haste! They are not your friends, but rather you enemies, and will only lead you to regret.

Why are these ads dangerous?

FauxResults’ selling point is that it’s a helpful tool with which you can save money. Supposedly, the program gives you information on all kinds of deals and bargains you can take advantage of, and also various coupons you can use for online sales. Unfortunately, the reality quite differs from the advertisement. Once you look past the smoke and mirrors of marketing, it’s evident that when it comes to FauxResults, the negatives far outweigh the positives. This is NOT a program worth keeping, no matter what the people behind the tool are trying to convince you. Speaking of these individuals, they have set up this application not to help you save money, but to make money off of you. The tool bombards you with so many ads because it’s ad-supported. Every time you click on one of its pop-ups, you generate web traffic and produce pay-per-click revenue for these unknown third parties, therefore, helping the program proceed with its operations. Another way for the tool to use you to make profits is to steal your private information – name, credit card/s and bank account/s details, etc, and send it to the people that support it. Once they have it, they can use it as they see fit, and you can’t stop them. Don’t let strangers get a hold of your private life! Delete FauxResults at once!
