How did I get infected with?

Fuckingmonday is an utter menace. It’s so aggressive that the users often mistake it for a virus. That, however, is not the case. The parasite is a simple app. As such, it needs you, the user, to approve its installation. No permission, no admission! The hijacker is bound to seek your consent. And it does. It always asks! But it does so in the sneakiest way possible. The hijacker is a trickster. It hides in the fine print and preys on your naivety! It gets installed when you “forget” to deny it access. Do not make that mistake! Do not let your guard down. Be extra careful when you install apps. More often than not, the software we download off the web comes bundled with bonus apps. If you don’t pay attention to the red flags, you are likely to install malicious extras. No anti-virus app can protect you if you act that recklessly. Only your vigilance is powerful enough to prevent infections. Even a little extra attention can spare you myriads of problems. So, don’t be lazy. Always take the time to do your due diligence. Don’t visit dodgy websites. Download software and updates from reliable sources only. And forget about the “Next-Next-Finish” installation strategy. If available, use the advanced/custom setup option. Deselect all unwanted bonuses and go through the terms and conditions. Don’t hesitate to opt out of the installation if you notice anything suspicious!
