FreeDelivery falls under the category of PUP and adware. The potentially unwanted program will bombard you with pop-up ads every time you attempt to use your browser. The one thing, you can do to stop the incessant flood, is to delete the program altogether. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck with them. These ads are supposed to help you find fantastic deals and bargains, and save money. But what they also do, is annoy you to no end and cause all kinds of trouble running around your system. In order to spare yourself the headaches, time and energy of having to deal with its daily messes, get rid of it as soon as possible.

How did I get infected with?

FreeDelivery resorts to the usual antics when it comes to sneaking into your system. There are always the old but gold ways of infiltration through corrupted links, corrupted websites and spam email attachments. And, of course, there’s also the use of freeware, which is probably the most commonly used method of all. That’s because most users are highly distracted during the installation process and don’t read the terms and conditions. Instead, they just agree to everything in haste and end up with FreeDelivery, or worse.

Why are these ads dangerous?

FreeDelivery doesn’t commence the bombardment of pop-ups right after it infects your system. First, it lays low for a while and observes your browsing habits, so as to better understand your preferences. That way, it knows which ads to throw your way later. Only, it doesn’t just observe you, but also collects and catalogs all the information it has gathered on you, and then sends it to the unknown third parties behind it. Now, FreeDelivery may not be malicious by design, but these people certainly are. They do not have your best interests in mind as they only care about the pay-per-click profit they can make off of you. That is what FreeDelivery is truly designed to do. It’s not to help you save money, but to generate revenue for the aforementioned people. If you’re willing to take your chances with this program, that’s okay. But if you want to save yourself any and all potential troubles, be sure to delete FreeDelivery the first chance you get.
