How did I get infected with MyFashionTab?

The MyFashionTab PUP is distributed through trickery. The parasite has an official download page, yet, it’s frequently spread through bundles, spam messages, and fake updates. This parasite cannot get installed without your, the user’s, permission. As you can imagine, though, there is a catch. If you don’t pay attention to the fine print, the parasite sneaks in behind your back. All it needs to succeed is one second of carelessness. Do not make its job easier. Do not give into naivety. The key to a secure and infection-free computer is caution. No anti-virus app can protect you if you act recklessly. Always take the time to do your due diligence. Don’t visit shady websites. Download software from reputable sources only. And don’t rush through any installation process. Most of the apps we download off the web come bundled with bonus programs. The extras, however, are often parasites like the MyFashionTab PUP. If you rush, you might install the extras unintentionally. Slow down. Don’t skip steps. If available, use the advanced/custom installation option. And, of course, before you click on that “Accept” button, read the terms and conditions.

Why is MyFashionTab dangerous?

The MyFashionTab PUP has no place on your device. This parasite opens your browser to surveillance and targeted ads. The parasite monitors your browsing-related data and uses the collected information as a base for relevant ad-targeting. This PUP knows your every online action. Every link you follow, every ad you click on to, every search query you type, the parasite knows everything. The PUP records and analyzes your every move. And when it deems it has enough data, it proceeds to send it to a remote server. Anyone willing to pay can access the data there. Numerous crooks are more than happy to pay. These people use the data to create irresistible adverts. They would then use the PUP to push these ads to you. The crooks show you what you want to see, but when you click, bad things happen. The MyFashionTab PUP gets paid to promote, not to verify the landing pages. The crooks take advantage of the situation. They redirect traffic to dangerous websites.
