You’ll save yourself a ton of headaches and troubles, and your future self will thank you for it.

How did I get infected with?

The application has an entire array of methods it can resort to with which to successfully deceive you into allowing it in. For example, one of its preferred methods includes hiding behind freeware. Freeware provides possibly the easiest access point as most users tend to pay little to no attention when going through its installation process. For some reason, they believe that not reading the terms and conditions, and just agreeing to everything, is a good idea. It’s really not. All, this haste and lack of attention will bring you, is trouble. If you’re okay with having adware such as Price-Hero running around your system, carry on! Proceed to rush and display the same lack of attention. Otherwise, caution is advised.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Price-Hero has an active website – price-hero.com. The webpage seems professionally made and might even fool the most skeptical of users. It offers to “boost your online shopping experience” and to provide you with “Hot Deals”. Unfortunately, there’s more to this application than meets the eye. You should know that providing you with good deals is the last thing it’s programmed to do. Its primary objective is to make money off of you. The application keeps track of your browsing activities, catalogs every move you make, and then sends the collected information to the unknown third parties behind it. If you allow Price-Hero to stay on your computer, you’ll be providing these malicious individuals with access to your personal and financial information. Are you willing to risk that? If not, be sure to delete Price-Hero as it is unreliable and harmful, and will only bring you issues upon issues.
