In fact, it’s so skilled in the arts of deceit that it not only dupes you into permitting its installation, but also keeps you oblivious to the fact that you did. The program relies on the old but gold methods of invasion to sneak in undetected.

Remember, a little extra attention can go a long, long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Okayfreedom is an ad-supported application, which is why it floods you with such an overwhelming amount of pop-ups. In order to continue its existence, the program is required to generate web traffic and produce pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published it. Each ad you click on is profit for these people and helps the tool proceed with its operations. If Okayfreedom fails to persuade you to click on any of its ads, it ceases to exist. That’s why the program leaves nothing to chance. In order to increase its likelihood of success, the application monitors your browsing habits and collects information on what you like and dislike, what appeals to you. It tries to get to know you better. Once the tool determines what your preferences include, the waterfall of “appropriate” pop-ups commences. Okayfreedom floods you with ads it feels will spark you interest and result in a click. So, don’t think the pop-ups you see are random. They are, in fact, chosen specifically for you and you alone. Whatever you do, do NOT click on them! If you’re foolish enough to do so, you’ll immediately regret it as a click will inevitably bring more malware to your computer. Do yourself a favor, and ignore the ads as best as you can, no matter how enticing they may seem. Unfortunately, Okayfreedom doesn’t only observe your browsing activities. It keeps a thorough record of your every move, and when it decides it has collected enough data from you, it sends it to the individuals behind it. After it falls into their hands, they can do with it whatever they see fit, and you can’t stop them. Are you willing to gain access to your privacy to wicked strangers with malicious intentions? Think long and hard before you decide.
