In its core, it’s a hazardous infection, whose presence leads to trouble, and lots of it. Look past the sugary layer of marketing, and its unreliability shines through. What does the tool truly accomplish? Supposedly, it can help you save money. But does it? No. No, it doesn’t. In fact, it ends up costing you money. Do you know why? Because every single one of the ‘money-saving’ advertisements it throws your way is corrupted. Yes, the ads may indeed display amazing offers of deals and bargains, but to click on them would be a dreadful mistake. They’re bundled with various malware, to whose installation you agree to every single time you press a pop-up. So, unless you wish to flood your system with malware, don’t click the pesky pop-ups! But that’s just one of the issues which the ads pose. Since they’ll pop up every single time you try to go online, they’ll also end up slowing down your PC and cause frequent system crashes. How long do you think you’ll be able to put up with Pocket Rebates’s incessant meddling? It will hardly take long before you go from slightly annoyed to utterly infuriated. Delete the PUP at once!

How did I get infected with?

Pocket Rebates doesn’t just show up on your computer one day. Oh, no. Oh, no. It requires permission to enter, your permission. That’s right. Unless the application gets you to approve its installation, it cannot get into your system. That’s why it has come up with an entire myriad of methods to use for that purpose. The tool usually tricks you with the help of the old but gold means of infiltration as they’ve proven their worth over time. And, Pocket Rebates doesn’t just dupe you into allowing it in but also keeps you oblivious to it until it chooses to clue you into its existence. That usually happens with the commencement of the pop-up ad bombardment. As was already stated, to invade your PC, the PUP turns to slyness and subtlety. It can hitch a ride with freeware, spam email attachments, corrupted links, or sites or it can pretend to be a bogus update. Whichever method it turns to, be careful, be vigilant and do your due diligence. Don’t rush and don’t give into gullibility and distraction. Carelessness won’t do you any good while even a little extra attention goes a long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

As the name lets on, Pocket Rebates is a program to do with saving money. And, who doesn’t want to save money? The application promises assistance in increasing your savings. How does it accomplish that you ask? Well, it’s pretty straightforward. The tool displays pop-up ads every time you try to use your browser. The advertisements show you all kinds of deals and bargains you can take advantage of, as well as provide coupons for online sales. So far, so good, right? Wrong. These ads may, in fact, show you all kinds of seemingly money-saving offers, but you can’t truly take advantage of them. It was already explained that if you click on an ad, you’ll end up installing more unwanted malicious tools on your system. So, all of these promises and ads, depicting amazing deals, are for not. Their purpose is to reel you in, so you click on them, and produce pay-per-click profits for the people, who published the program. Don’t indulge them! Don’t press the harmful, useless ads! Pocket Rebates is not trustworthy. It doesn’t help you. It harms you. Don’t fall for its treachery! It’s nothing more than a hazardous infection, seeking to exploit you. And, that’s not counting the severe security threat, which the application places upon you. Oh, yes. Among everything else the PUP puts you through, it also jeopardizes your personal and financial information. The application spies on you, catalogs every online move you make, and then sends the data it gathered from you to the people behind it. Think about it. Strangers will be given access to your private life. Is that something you’re going to allow? Is that a risk you’re willing to take? Here’s a hint: don’t. Spare yourself all of this trouble, and remove the tool as soon as you realize it’s residing on your PC. Pocket Rebates is not worth even half the hassle it ends up causing. Delete it.
