How did I get infected with?

Okay, first things first, you’re probably very curious to find out how exactly the parasite managed to sneak it behind your back. Fair enough. Have you recently downloaded some freeware/shareware bundle? If so, you can stop searching for the reason how Outrageous Deal landed on your PC because you just found it. Most parasites travel the Web as bonus attachments to free software so if you’re careless enough, you might install a whole bunch of infections alongside the programs you wanted. Therefore, in order to prevent virus infiltration, it’s greatly recommended to select the Custom option in advance. This way you will remain in control of the installation process because if you’re not the one in control, it will be hackers. And allowing cyber criminals to make any kind of decision for you is a terrible idea. Always read the Terms and Conditions of the programs you install unless you’re willing to risk accepting some nasty term and/or nasty condition without knowing it. Also, you should check the EULA (End User License Agreement) beforehand as well. Keep in mind that clicking any spam message or spam email-attachment or even third-party web link that you might come across is yet another hazardous thing do. Remember, keeping your PC safe is not hackers’ responsibility. It’s yours.

Why are these ads dangerous?

As mentioned above, we can’t really call adware-type programs the most harmful type of parasites out there. Having said that, though, if you’re gullible enough to fall victim to some of Outrageous Deal’s trickery, you will personally witness all of its malicious potential unleashed. And, as you can imagine, that’s quite an unpleasant scenario. Being entirely ad-supported, Outrageous Deal relies on its harmless facade and uses it to fool you into believing this program can’t cause you harm. Only it can. And it probably will. After successful installation, the parasite immediately installs its malicious browser extension without wasting time to search for your approval. Your entire Internet experience is no longer up to you after the Outrageous Deal parasite has manages to slither itself onto the PC system. Once the virus infects Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, it then proceeds to generating commercials. And it does so with such diligence that even seeing your computer screen becomes a struggle, let alone actually using your machine. Why does the parasite try so hard to flood you with ads? Because that’s how its developers gain revenue. Outrageous Deal follows the classic adware pattern which means it aims for generating web traffic towards some questionable websites. Of course, no one could guarantee your safety after you click some of the commercials and it goes without saying that hackers don’t need to take care of your cyber security. You do. Don’t become a part of the tricky pay-per-click mechanism because this whole thing simply cannot end well for you; instead, uninstall the virus as soon as possible. Furthermore, if you notice that the commercials are becoming more appealing and more attractive, this is a huge red flag. It means Outrageous Deal is currently monitoring your browsing-related activities and hackers have free access to your browsing history and search queries and passwords and usernames and email addresses and IP addresses and if knowing that doesn’t make you anxious, it certainly should. Crooks will use your own data in order to gain even more profit by selling the sensitive information collected to third parties or via some other questionable monetizing system. Of course, that means your private data is no longer private so the only reasonably thing to do in this nasty scenario is to uninstall the parasite.
