First Color is a potentially unwanted adware program. It’s published by the infamous entity Super Web LLC.

First Color is malicious, intrusive, and extremely harmful. First it slithers its way into your system by means of deception and finesse, and then proceeds to make a mess. Once the tool latches onto your computer, the issues start piling up almost instantaneously. Shortly after it infiltrates your PC, the application commences a full-on bombardment of pop-up ads. Each and every time you try to browse the web, you will be interrupted by a pop-up. And, since that will happen quite often, the ads’ continuous appearance will lead to a slower computer performance, and frequent system crashes. Furthermore, the pop-up ads are immensely unreliable. If you click on one just once, by accident or choice, you run the risk of unwillingly approving the install of more unwanted malware. But even the threat of more malevolent tools invading your PC won’t be your biggest cause for concern. First Color jeopardizes your personal and financial information. The program spies on you in an attempt to steal your private details and then send them to unknown third parties with agendas. Make no mistake! If you don’t delete the application as soon as you first become aware of its presence, it WILL succeed! Are you going to allow that to happen? The choice is yours.

 

How did I get infected with?

First Color resorts to the usual trickery in order to gain access to your system. More often than not, it hitches a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest entry point. For some reason, most users believe that there are no repercussions to haste, naivety, and distraction. Well, they are wrong. Unfortunately, by the time they become aware of their mistake, the damage is already done. Bear in mind the following. If you rush through freeware’s installation process and don’t familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions, but make the conscious decision to agree to everything, there ARE consequences! And, they won’t be pleasant. Other methods of invasion, the program often turns to include hiding behind corrupted links or websites, or spam email attachments. First Color can also pose as a bogus system or program update. For example, while you think you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, in actuality, you’re giving the green light to a hazardous and damaging adware tool. Try to remember that a little extra attention can save you a lot of headaches and troubles, and maybe you won’t have to deal with First Color and its ever-growing pile of daily messes.

Why are these ads dangerous?

First Color is an ad-supported program, which is why it floods you with so many pop-ups. It’s required to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the people that support it, and each ad you click on helps it proceed with its operations. And, since its entire existence is on the line, the application leaves nothing to chance. In order to increase its likelihood of success, it spends some time getting to know you, instead of just throw random ads your way and hope for the best. The ads you see are chosen specifically for you, and you alone. As soon as it infects your PC, First Color starts to observe your browsing habits in order to understand what you like and dislike. Once it determines what your preferences include, it commences the flood of “appropriate” ads. Ads, which will most likely spark your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash. However, do NOT click on the program’s pop-ups! As was already mentioned they’re highly unreliable and will only result in more unwanted malware installs. The worst part of having, First Color as a house guest is the fact that it places your privacy in harm’s way. The tool doesn’t stop at merely monitoring you. It catalogs your every move and then sends the gathered data to strangers with malicious intentions. Don’t allow that to happen! Delete First Colors the first chance you get! You won’t regret it.
