Not only will the vexatious ads test your patience, but they’ll also cause you a bundle of damages. As they pop up incessantly, they lead to frequent system crashes and a slower PC performance. Also, since they’re immensely unreliable, they pose a severe malware risk. But, although, they might seem pointless, there is a reason behind their continuous appearance. What’s their purpose? Well, the pop-ups help Rinkela continue its existence. Confused? Well, the program is ad-supported, which means that if it wishes to proceed with its operations, it has to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published it. If it fails to fulfill its objective, these individuals take it down. And, since each ad the application tricks you into clicking on helps it live to see another day, it throws a never-ending waterfall of them your way.

It’s for the best.

How did I get infected with?

Rinkela resorts to the usual antics when it comes to gaining access to your computer. It’s a master of deception, which is why it so easily manages to dupe you into allowing it in. In fact, it’s so skilled in its slyness and subtlety that you don’t even realize that you approved the installation of such a hazardous infection. More often than not, the application turns to freeware as a means of infiltration. It provides possibly the easiest entry point because most users pay little to no attention during its installation. With the help of their distraction and their tendency to agree to the terms and conditions without reading them, Rinkela manages to sneak in undetected. Other preferred methods of invasion it often turns to include hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted links, or sites or pretending to be an update, like Java or Adobe Flash Player. If you wish to keep your PC adware-free, don’t give into naivety and haste, and be more careful. This extra attention will be worth it as it will spare you a lot of problems and headaches.

Why are these ads dangerous?

As was already mentioned, Rinkela is an ad-supported tool. But don’t think it throws random advertisements your way. Oh, no. The application is quite meticulous when it comes to selecting the pop-ups it floods you with. Before commencing the bombardment, the program spends some time studying you. It tries to learn what your preferences include by monitoring your browsing habits. When it’s able to determine what you like and dislike, it picks the appropriate ads for you, and then it floods you with them. So, you only see advertisements, which the program feels will have the best shot at sparking your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash. Unfortunately, the application doesn’t stop at just observing your online activities. It keeps a thorough record of every move you make, and when it deems it has gathered a sufficient amount of data from you, sends it to the unknown people that published it. After it falls into their hands, these individuals can use it as they see fit, and you can’t stop them. Are you willing to risk your personal and financial information falling into the hands of strangers with agendas for such a worthless tool? Don’t take such a gamble. Delete Rinkela as soon as the first ad pops up, revealing its existence to you. You won’t regret it.
