The tool starts to wreak havoc immediately after it gains access to your system, and issues pile up instantaneously. The first problem you’ll be forced to endure, courtesy of Punisher’s presence, will put your patience to its limits.

It will flood you with ads each and every time you try to use your browser, and since that will be quite the regular occurrence, their incessant presence will also lead to further troubles. Due to their continuous popping up, your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl, and your system will start to crash frequently. Does that sound like a pleasant experience? Like something to look forward to? Hardly. But your grievances won’t end with the pop-ups.

How did I get infected with?

Punisher is a master of disguise. That’s why the tiny, little, miniscule detail that it has to ask for your permission before it installs itself on your PC doesn’t slow it down one bit. Oh, yes. And, not only does it get it, but you also don’t even see it coming. Confused? Well, it’s pretty straightforward. The tool uses subtlety and slyness to fool you into giving it the green light without you even realizing it. More often than not, the PUP hitches a ride in with freeware as it’s possibly the easiest entry point to your system. However, it can also use spam email attachments, corrupted links, or sites as a shield to hide behind, and slip right through the cracks when you’re not attentive enough. Not to mention that Punisher can pretend to be a fake system or program update, like Adobe Flash Player or Java, as well. In case you missed it, all of the application’s most preferred means of invasion pray on your distraction, naivety, and haste. So, if you don’t provide them, perhaps you’ll succeed in keeping your computer adware-free.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Punisher bombards you with pop-ups so continuously for a reason, and that reason is that it’s ad-supported. That means that if the tool wishes to proceed with its operations, it has to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published it. Should it fail to do so, these individuals take it down, and it ceases to exist. Naturally, the program does everything in its power to avoid such a fate. Each ad, it tricks you into clicking on, helps it continue its existence. So, it only floods you with ads, which have the best shot at sparking your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash. It doesn’t just throw random pop-ups your way. It makes sure to only show you “appropriate” ones. How? Well, it studies you. To select pop-ups unique to your preferences, it monitors your browsing until it understands what appeals to you. When it learns what you like, the flood begins. No matter how enticing the ads appear to be, do NOT click on even a single one! They’re immensely unreliable. Each of the program’s pop-ups is bundled with all sorts of malware, and when you press it, you unlock the malevolent tool lurking there. So, unless you wish to experience the “joy” of having your PC overrun with malware, ignore the pop-ups. As severe as the threat of more unwanted malware slithering into your system undetected may be, it will seem like a walk in the park, compared to the security issue the program places upon you. Punisher doesn’t only observe your browsing. It catalogs every single move you make online, and when it determines it has gathered enough data from you, it sends it to the people behind it. Think means that strangers with questionable intentions will have access to your private life. Are you willing to gamble with your personal and financial information for such a hazardous and useless application? Is it even worth it? Here’s a hint: it’s not. Delete Punisher at once.
