Toolbars can be very useful. They can save time and nerves. Yet, there are exceptions that do exactly the opposite. One such exception is the MyEasyLotto toolbar. This utility is categorized as Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). Following a successful installation, the toolbar takes control over your favorite web browsers. If you have more than one browser installed, be sure, all of them are affected by the PUP. This utility turns your trustworthy browser into an ad-displaying program. You must have noticed that you are exposed to an increased number of online commercials, haven’t you? This is not a coincidence. The PUP forces these advertisements on you. This utility is programmed to inject banners, hyperlinks, video and in-text commercials on every website you open. Additionally, it can redirect your browser to sponsored third-party pages. When you click on an advert provided by the PUP, its owners will be paid. So, what do you think, will they let you click on their competitors’ content? Of course, not! The PUP blocks such ads and replaces them with its own. By doing so, it limits your sources of information and turns you into an easy target. There, however, is more maneuvers it takes to get you into clicking. The furtive app monitors your browser related data. It knows your preferences and bases its commercials on that info. Thus, if you type “sneakers” into some search engine, the MyEasyLotto toolbar will bombard you with adverts for sports shoes. The collected information, however, is not used for marketing purposes only. The PUP is selling every bit of data to third parties. This utility is exposing your privacy at risk. A risk you should not take! Remove the MyEasyLotto PUP as soon as possible!
How did I get infected with MyEasyLotto?
The MyEasyLotto toolbar has an official website. The program is promoted as a useful app which checks if your numbers have been drawn in a national or local lottery games. Yet, this is not the only distribution method the PUP uses. It is also spread via torrents, spam emails, software bundles, other types of malvertising and software bundling. The key to its success is you! If you were a bit more careful, you could have prevented this infection. Let’s take the software bundles as an example. When you install a program, which setup method do you prefer: the Standard or the Advanced? The Standard installation method is a completely automated process. Once you start it, you lose control over it. The wizard will install all programs that have arrived in the bundle. Your explicit approval will not be needed. So, you won’t be asked. The Advanced installation, on the other hand, is a bit more manual. This wizard will ask you which programs you would wish to install. It will present to you a complete list of all changes that are about to be made. You can modify them as you like. If you don’t like a program, you can simply deselect it. This is the tricky part. The crooks usually describe the extras as essential tools. Do not fall victim of such low-class deception. Simply read the Terms and Conditions or research the apps online. If you spot breaches, deselect the suspicious app. Also, you can safely deselect all extras and still install the program you originally planned to set up. The MyEasyLotto toolbar fooled you once. Learn your lessons. Do not let other malware on board!
Why is MyEasyLotto dangerous?
There is nothing positive about the MyEasyLotto toolbar. This utility is a giant hole in your security wall. All sorts of crooks and hackers use the PUP to spread corrupted content. If you have the misfortune to click on a malicious ad, you will download malware or viruses directly on your computer. The MyEasyLotto toolbar does not verify its adverts. Neither does it check the advertisers behind them. This lack of security gives the crooks an opportunity to manipulate you. They may use the PUP to target you with a custom ad campaign, to redirect you to scam websites, and to trick you into revealing personally identifiable information, credit card details, and other sensitive data. Question everything. Refrain yourself from online purchases while the toolbar remains active on your computer. With the MyEasyLotto PUP on board, you are far more likely to redirected to scam pages than to legit ones. The crooks are after your money. The MyEasyLotto toolbar is helping them. Do not take this risk. Remove the PUP before it is too late!
