How did I get infected with?

Adware lurks behind the Notube.net pop-ups. This parasite sneaks into your computer and floods you with countless advertisements. Don’t mistake the aggressive parasite for a virus, though. Although this menace wreaks utter havoc, it is just a standard app with many limitations. This parasite, for example, can’t get installed without the user’s approval. That’s right, the adware needs you to permit its admission. It is bound to seek your consent. Note, of course, that having to ask is not the same as having to do so outright. You are dealing with a trickster that steals your “yes” in the sneakiest way possible. The adware hides in bundles, fake updates, corrupted links, and pirated software. It lurks in the fine print and infects your PC when you “forget” to deny it access. Don’t fall into its traps! The parasite preys on your naivety. Your diligence, on the other hand, prevents its tricks from succeeding. Only your actions can prevent infection, so don’t be lazy. Choose caution over carelessness. Always take the time to do your part! Don’t visit dodgy websites. Download software and updates from reliable sources only. And, of course, don’t skip installation steps. If available, use the advanced/custom setup option. Deselect the bonus software and go through the terms and conditions. Don’t hesitate to abort an installation process if you notice anything suspicious!

Why is this dangerous?

The Notube.net pop-ups are just the beginning of an ad invasion. You are stuck with an adware menace which constantly increases the number of its ads, as well as finds new ways to annoy you. What starts as an occasional pop-up turns into a whirlwind of notifications, hyperlinks, banners, and redirects. This aggressive ad bombardment, of course, overloads your browser and causes performance issues, such as freezing and crashes. You face an avalanche of errors. Sadly, you also face a security threat. Just take a close look at the ads and you’ll realize that you are in serious trouble. You are under surveillance! The numerous ads are not random but based on the websites you visit, the links you follow, the videos you watch. That’s how the parasite operates. It studies your browsing habits and uses your preferences against you. Do you think that ends well?
