How did I get infected with?

GamingCandy is a resourceful application that slithers into your system with great ease. It preys on your distraction, naivety, and haste and slips through the cracks when you’re not looking as closely as you should. The tool resorts to slyness and subtlety to fool you into agreeing to its install, but still manages to enter without you realizing it. Oh, yes. GamingCandy parades right through the front door and settles into your system, as you’re holding the doors for it, looking but not seeing. It may sound confusing, but it’s quite straightforward. With the help of the old but gold methods of infiltration, the tool enters covertly, while in disguise. More often than not, it uses freeware as a shield to hide behind, but it can hitch a ride with spam email attachments, corrupted sites, or links, as well. Also, the application can pretend to be a fake system or program update, like Java or Adobe Flash Player. To prevent adware such as GamingCandy from invading your system, make sure to be more careful and to not rush. Don’t throw caution to the wind! After all, a little extra attention goes a long, long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

GamingCandy is an ad-supported program. That means that if the application is to proceed with its operations, it’s required to generate pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published. If it fails to do so, it ceases to exist as they take it down. Every ad it fools you into clicking on produces profits and helps it survive another day. Because of that, the program ensures each ad you see counts. It doesn’t just throw random ads your way, hoping for he best. Oh, no. It does everything in its power to guarantee its success. How? Well, it makes sure to know which ads to flood you with, which ads would appeal to you and entice you enough to result in a click. It does its best to get to know you better and learn which ads are appropriate for you. The application monitors your browsing habits until it finds out what your interests include, and then the flood commences. Whatever yo do, do NOT click on the program’s pop-ups! Ignore them no matter how enticing they seem. The ads are bundled with all sorts of malware. If you press even a single one, be it by choice or accident, all you’ll have to show for it is more malevolent tools slithering into your system without you even realizing it. Unfortunately, GamingCandy doesn’t stop at merely monitoring your browsing. The program takes it one step further. It keeps a thorough record of every move you make online, and when it deems it has gathered a sufficient amount of information from you, sends it to the people that published it. That means strangers with questionable, possibly malicious, intentions will have access to your personal and financial details. And, once they get their hands on your private data, they can use it as they see fit. Do you think anything good will come from that? Don’t take such a risk for such a worthless program! Delete the hazardous infection as soon as you first become aware of its existence. Your future self will thank you for it.
