Are you bombarded with the MICROLEAVES ONLINE.IO pop-ups? Your computer has fallen victim to a parasite then. Yes, the device in front of you is no longer infection-free. Now, before you panic, the virus is adware. This is among the least destructive infections out there. Hence, your situation could have been much, much more problematic. Trojan horses and ransomware roam the Internet too. Adware is indeed very annoying but it can’t be compared with those two types of infections. In addition, adware is super sneaky and secretive.

Now that you know just how cunning parasites are, you should always be careful online. Back to your current problem. As soon as your PC got compromised, the virus started making modifications. For example, it adds an extension to all your browsers. This way it injects them with pop-ups. Ah, the pop-ups. The MICROLEAVES ONLINE.IO pop-up ads must have already caught your attention. Thanks to the parasite’s tricks, your PC screen is now flooded with ads. Pop-up ads. Pop-under ads. Banner ads. Interstitial ads. Video ads. All kinds of advertisements you could possibly imagine are now brought to you. What they share is the fact you should avoid them. The MICROLEAVES ONLINE.IO commercials are sponsored and equally unreliable. However, they do appear to be harmless. Don’t forget that there’s a vicious parasite standing behind the ads. They are dangerous by default. You could never trust a sponsored pop-up and you know it. If you click the wrong pop-up, you will automatically make matters worse. There are some commercials that directly lead to more infections. Before you know it, you may compromise your already compromised PC further. To prevent that, stay away from the pop-ups. The virus might also generate fake software updates. In addition, your browsers now freeze and crash like nobody’s business. You might be having Internet connection issues too. To top it all, this program could pose a threat to your privacy. It gives you plenty of reasons to take action on the spot.

How did I get infected with?

Do you know why hackers prefer this method? It is both stealthy and efficient. Next time you download bundled software, be cautious. Especially if the programs come for free. You only get what you pay for so unverified bundles are usually unsafe. Always opt for the custom or advanced option in the Setup Wizard. This way, you will be able to prevent malware infiltration. If you fail to protect your PC now, you will have to fight the infection later on. Keep in mind how creative hackers could be when it comes to malware. Don’t overlook any potential threat and take your time. Rushing the installation might easily jeopardize your safety. Check out the Terms and Conditions of what you install. Same piece of advice goes for the EULA (End User License Agreement). Adware gets spread via spam messages/emails and third-party ads as well.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The MICROLEAVES ONLINE.IO pop-ups won’t be beneficial for you. That means you don’t have to tolerate them. Tackle the virus that caused these pop-ups instead.

This is why you land on unreliable pages and this is why your browsers are modified. Adware takes down the most popular browsers you use. It’s compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Whatever page you attempt to visit, you will have to deal with pesky, useless ads. As mentioned, you have to stay away from all commercials displayed by the parasite. Clicking is not a risk worth taking. Last but not least, the adware spies on your browsing-related activities.
