How did I get infected with Nativedesktopmediaservice?
Malvertising, fake updates, corrupted links, spam messages. There are myriads of malware distribution strategies. You can never know where a PUP might strike from. Nativedesktopmediaservice, however, tends to travel the Web through bundles. The parasite pretends to be a genuine, bonus app. It installs when you “forget” to deselect it. Do not make that mistake! No anti-virus app can protect you if you give into naivety. Most of the apps we download off the Web come bundled with bonus software. If you don’t pay attention to the red flags, you might install a malicious extra. Don’t rely on luck. Even a little extra attention can spare you an avalanche of problems. Forget about the “Next-Next-Finish” setup strategy. If available, use the advanced/custom option. Make sure you know what you are installing. Go through the terms and conditions before you agree to them. If you cannot read the whole document, scan it with an online EULA analyzer. Opt out of the installation if you notice anything suspicious!
Why is Nativedesktopmediaservice dangerous?
Nativedesktopmediaservice is often referred to as a “virus.” This classification, however, is not accurate. Even though this PUP interferes with your browser’s normal functions, it is not a malicious application. The PUP does not execute malicious processes, neither does it modify your OS. The PUP, however, may help viruses sneak into your device. Nativedesktopmediaservice opens your web browser to malicious interference. The parasite enables third parties to deliver various content to your browser. It, however, doesn’t filter this content. The PUP has no security mechanisms. Its sole purpose of existence is to generate ad revenue. Your well-being is not part of the deal. As long as it gets its fees, the crooks are free to spread deceptive and corrupted content. The criminals employ this PUP to redirect traffic to deceptive, scam, spam, and malicious websites. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The full extent of the corruption is not that obvious. It is noticeable only when you take a closer look at the ads. These “great deals” are related to your online activities because the PUP knows your preferences and needs. This menace spies on you from day one. It knows your every online move. And if you are not careful, it might record sensitive details. Do not take unnecessary risks! As soon as you become aware of the infection, take action. Find where Nativedesktopmediaservice hides and delete it upon detection. Remove this PUP the first chance you get! The sooner you clean your OS, the better!
