To dupe you into permitting it in, the PUP usually turns to the old but gold methods of infiltration. That includes hitching a ride with freeware, spam email attachments, corrupted links, or sites. The application can also pretend to be a fake update, like Java or Adobe Flash Player. An essential ingredient, the adware needs to successfully invade your system, is your distraction.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Playaneer is an obnoxious program that slyly slithers its way into your system, and then provides you with a service you didn’t request – it continuously displays free games you can play online. And ‘continuously’ is not an exaggeration. Each and every time you try to use your browser, you’ll be disturbed by the program’s pop-ups. Did you ask for this intrusion? No. Do you need such a service? No. Are you stuck with it nonetheless? Oh, yes. The application completely takes over your system, and the only way you can cease its endless interruptions and reclaim it is to delete the tool immediately! If you choose not to take action towards Playaneer’s removal, you’re only setting yourself up for a bad time. Possibly the most unfavorable experience of the bunch, which is pretty big all by itself will be handing your private life to unknown individuals, who can then use it as they so desire. Yes, by not deleting the tool, it’s as if you agree to provide strangers with intimate knowledge about it. Once the PUP enters your system, it begins to spy on you. It keeps track of every move you make online, and thoroughly catalogs it. When it deems it has gathered a sufficient amount of information on you, it sends it to the third parties that published it. Is that a gamble you’re willing to take? When you think about it, do you honestly believe this useless, harmful tool is worth all the troubles it ends up causing you? Hardly. Do yourself a favor, and delete it at once! You can be sure that your future self will thank you for it.
