How did I get infected with?

Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to tell exactly how this sneaky infection got installed on your computer. Keeping in mind that the most popular infiltration method is freeware bundling, though, chances are, you fell victim to this stealthy technique. Have you recently downloaded some programs for free from some questionable and unverified website? If so, it’s rather safe to assume you didn’t pay much attention to the installation process as most PC users prefer to rush the installation thus putting at risk their machine, their cyber security and their privacy. Doesn’t really sound like a good idea, does it? To avoid virus infiltration, select the custom/advanced option in the Setup Wizard instead of the basic one so you could keep an eye on the software you download. This may seem like a bothersome, time-consuming thing to go but trust us when we say that removing a virus which already managed to get installed will certainly require much more time, energy and patience. Don’t jeopardize your own safety and don’t underestimate the threat that bundled freeware and shareware bring along. Going through the Terms and Conditions is another habit you should have when installing software because it’s very irritating to realize you accepted some nasty term or condition without ever reading it. Purse Perks is not even considered among the most harmful infections out there; some much more dangerous parasites use the same secretive distribution method as well.
