Red Ball is a potentially unwanted adware program. It’s extremely dangerous, malicious, intrusive, and highly deceptive. It resorts to all kinds of trickery in order to invade your system, and once it slithers in, wreaks all kinds of havoc. The most blatant issue you’ll have to deal with on a daily basis is its vexatious pop-up ads. Every time you try to open your browser and surf the web, you’ll be interrupted by an ad. Make no mistake. Unless you delete the application altogether, you better get used to seeing these pop-ups incessantly as they’re not going anywhere. If you allow this program to stay in your system, the ads will become your new best friend. But that’s just one “weapon” among its whole arsenal of issues. Due to the ads continuous appearance, you’ll also suffer from frequent system crashes ad a slower computer performance. Not only that, but the program will also spy on you in an attempt to steal your personal and financial information. If you don’t delete it as soon as you become aware of its presence, it will succeed. Protect your privacy, get rid of Red Ball the first chance you get.

How did I get infected with?

Red Ball is required to ask for your permission before it gets installed on your computer. However, don’t think that this will help you spot it or protect your system because it won’t. The application is extremely resourceful and a master of deception. It has no trouble deceiving you into approving its installation while, at the same time, it manages to keep its existence a secret from you. That’s right. Not only does the program fool you into letting it in your PC, but also keeps you oblivious to the fact that you did. More often than not, Red Ball dupes you by hiding behind freeware, spam email attachments, corrupted websites, and links. Also, the application can pretend to be bogus system or program update. Even though you might be convinced that you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, in reality, you’re opening the door to Red Ball and holding the door for it until it enters. If you don’t wish to end up with adware, or worse, be sure to be more attentive! A little extra attention can go a long, long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Red Ball doesn’t flood you with pop-ups for no reason. It does so because it’s an ad-supported program, and if it wishes to continue its operations, it has to generate pay-per-click revenue for the people behind it. Each ad you click on is profit for these unknown third parties. Also, don’t think these ads are random. They were, in fact, chosen specifically for you! Every ad that the tool throws your way was meant for your eyes only. Confused? Well, the program doesn’t commence the bombardment of ads immediately after invasion. Instead, it spends some time laying low and getting to know you. By observing your browsing habits, it gets a better idea on what your preferences include. Once it learns what you like and dislike, the flood of “appropriate” ads commences. The program goes through this whole experience so that it can increase its chances of successfully fooling you into clicking on its pop-ups and producing profits. However, the last thing you should do is click on them. These ads are highly unreliable, and a click will only lead to more unwanted malware installations. But don’t think that this threat of more malware will be your biggest concern. The worst issue you’ll be faced with, courtesy of Red Ball, is the fact that it places your security in harm’s way. The application’s designed to start keeping track of your browsing activities as soon as it latches onto your system. It catalogs every move you make, and once it feels it has collected enough data from you, it proceeds to send it to the people who published the program. Once your private details fall into the hands of these wicked strangers, they can do with it whatever they please. Do you think Red Ball is worth that kind of risk? Think long and hard before you answer.
