Its most preferred and most commonly used method of invasion is through freeware as it provides the easiest entry point. Users rush the whole installation process and don’t even bother reading the terms and conditions. Instead, they just agree to everything and hope for the best. Well, that’s how you get stuck with adware such as PriceFab. Don’t give into naivety, haste, and distraction and maybe you’ll avoid having to deal with this tool and its ever-growing daily messes.

Why are these ads dangerous?

PriceFab’s selling point is that it’s a helpful tool with which you can save money. The program claims to show you all the best deals and bargains and to give you coupons for various online sales. That sounds unbelievable, right? Almost too good to be true? Well, that’s because it isn’t. When you look past the smoke and mirrors of marketing, it becomes quite evident that the negatives far outweigh the positives when it comes to PriceFab. This application is not designed to help you save money but to use you to make money. That’s right. Its primary objective is to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties behind it. That’s why it floods you with so many ads. It has nothing to do with you increasing your savings. Each ad you click on is profit for these people and malware for you. Oh, yes. Every single ad you press, be it by accident or choice, leads to you unwillingly agreeing to install more unwanted malevolent tools. But what’s worse than the grave malware threat is the severe security risk the application places upon you. The tool keeps track of your browsing activities and catalogs every move you make. When it determines it has collected enough data from you, it sends it to the individuals that support it. After they have it, they can use it as they see fit, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Are you willing to place your private life in the hands of strangers with possibly malicious intentions? Do you think anything good will come from that? Don’t take such a colossal risk! Get rid of PriceFab the first chance you get. You won’t regret it.
