How did I get infected with?

As you probably know, there are many ways to get you effectively infected with all kinds of cyber infections. Take bundled freeware, for example. This stealthy technique allows hackers not only to corrupt your PC but to also leave you absolutely oblivious to it. What more could crooks want? All they have to do is attach their malicious creation to the package of free programs that you download off of the Internet later on. That’s it. The parasite still needs your permission in order to get installed so you cannot afford even a single moment of distraction because that might potentially mean letting a virus in. Always opt for the custom or advanced option in the Setup Wizard and don’t rush! Rushing may save you some time right now but just think how much time, energy and nerves you will waste later on fighting a virus that was already installed. Keep in mind that all the freeware bundles you download from unverified web pages are questionable and could easily be hiding as least one unwanted parasite as a bonus. Why do we say “at least one”? There are usually more. If you spot an intruder, make sure you check the machine for more parasites. Another piece of advice is to pay attention to the Terms and Conditions you accept. We don’t need to go into detail about all dangers that accepting something you never read hides, do we? Remember one thing and remember it well – you could never be too attentive and too cautious when it comes to online viruses. Your future privacy and safety depend on your current care.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The Local Temperature parasite doesn’t need much time to convince you that it’s harmful. If the never-ending parade of commercials doesn’t ring the bell that something is very wrong with this program, all the upcoming trickery will surely do so. Local Temperature follows the familiar adware pattern and adds a browser extension to Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. As you could imagine, its compatibility with three of the most commonly used browsers our there makes it impossible to ignore the parasite’s manipulations. First of all, thanks to the malicious add-on, your once trusty browsers are no longer trusty. Due to the presence of this infection, they will be too busy generating ads to be useful. The worst part of it is the tiny detail that as the parasite is ad-supported, all web links that it generates are sponsored. That means all coupons, deals, offers, various “best prices”, etc. are displayed solely because the hackers standing behind Local Temperature want you to see them. They also want you to click the ads but that, of course, should be the very LAST thing you do. Otherwise you might accidentally install malware and instead of purchasing some attractive product, you could end up compromising your already compromised machine much further. The parasite’s tricks also include numerous program update suggestions that should also be avoided because they are just as dangerous as the commercials. As mentioned above, all web links that Local Temperature generates are potentially harmful and clicking them would be a crucial mistake. In addition, the virus monitors your browsing-related activities so hackers could make even more money out of you. How uncomfortable do you feel knowing that everything from IP addresses, usernames and passwords to pages visited and browsing history is in the greedy hands of cyber criminals? If this thought alone doesn’t make you uninstall this program in an instant, it should. Long story short, as you can see, the Local Temperature adware parasite cannot remain on your PC as it creates an utter mess very quickly.
