How did I get infected with?

Sad Cloud is known to have had an official representative website, which is not functioning at the moment of writing. That is neither surprising nor it is in any way useful because the homepages of Super Web applications are usually fictitious, and the chosen app cannot be downloaded from them. The case is the same with the Sad Cloud adware. The application cannot be acquired in any official manner, on the contrary it is only distributed using dubious methods. One way for Sad Cloud to access your system is with the help of pop-up ads you will see on the web. Such ads usually promoted some supposedly useful software, which in reality is some adware program. Another method used by Sad Cloud is software bundling. Using this method, additional software is installed alongside programs you have chosen to download. It is possible to disable their setup if you pay attention to the installation process, however, sometimes additional software is installed silently, so you just better avoid suspicious sources.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The reason why applications like Sad Cloud are created is to earn money for their developers. That happens when the applications display different ads promoting third-party content. Each of the third parties whose content is being advertised pays the application for its advertising services. The adware developers also receive money for every ad that is clicked, this is why you will see Sad Cloud ads so frequently. It is important to remember not to click them because you will be redirected to the websites of those third parties, which might turn out to be malicious. You should also know that while Sad Cloud is residing on your PC, it will constantly track your browsing habits and will record information about them. You will probably not be very happy to be monitored all the time you are on the web, so you should hurry to delete Sad Cloud because of that and for all the reasons mentioned above.
