How did I get infected with?

Adware causes the Predicalflo.info redirects. It is also behind the annoying “Ads by Predicalflo.info” banners. This intruder sneaks into your PC undetected and wreaks advertising havoc. Don’t imagine ingenious cyber attacks, though. The adware can’t “hack” your PC. No! This parasite relies on trickery. It preys on your naivety. It infects your computer when you let your guard down. The thing about adware is that these parasites need you, the user, to approve their installation. No permission, no admission. The adware is bound to seek your consent. Note, though, that having to ask is not the same as having to do so outright. The parasite steals your approval in the sneakiest way possible. This pest hides in the fine print. It infects your computer when you “forget” to deny it access. Do not make that mistake! No anti-virus app can protect you if you throw caution to the wind. Only your vigilance can prevent infections. Even a little extra attention goes a long, long way. So, choose caution over carelessness! Don’t visit questionable websites. Download software and updates from reliable sources only. And, of course, don’t rush through the installation processes. More often than not, the apps we download off the Web come bundled with bonus apps. If you don’t pay attention to the red flags, you are likely to install parasites. Don’t rely on luck! If available, use the advanced/custom setup option. And before you hit that “Accept” button, go through the terms and conditions. Don’t hesitate to opt out of the installation if you notice anything suspicious!

Why is this dangerous?

The Predicalflo.info pop-ups warn that your online security is compromised. Adware lurks in the shadows of your OS and endangers your privacy and security. Confused? Just take a closer look at the ads. They are related to your recent online activities, aren’t they? That’s because you are under surveillance. The adware studies your browsing habits and bases its ad selection on your preferences and needs. Everything “Powered by Predicalflo.info” is targeted at you. Click nothing, though. A parasite displays these ads. You can’t expect them to be trustworthy, much less safe. These ads arise unwarranted expectations at best. At worst, they redirect web traffic to deceptive and malicious websites. That’s the nature of the adware. It not only ruins your browsing experience but also opens your browser to numerous online threats. Do not take unnecessary risks! Remove the parasite before it gets a chance to lure you into an online trap. The sooner you clean your OS, the better!
