Sale-o is advertised as a helpful tool that grants you access to all sorts of deals and bargains you can take advantage of and also provides you with coupons you can use for online sales. This may sound amazing, but once you take a closer look at the application, it becomes quite evident that the reality of its “usefulness” is highly overrated. It is far more different than what you are lead to believe by marketing. Sale-o is nothing more than mere adware. This potentially unwanted program does not help you at all, but rather uses you for its agenda, or rather for the agenda of the unknown third parties who support it. These individuals have designed the tool to use you so as to generate web traffic and produce pay-per-click revenue. The application easily achieves those goals with the help of its unsafe, never-ending, vexatious pop-up advertisements. But they won’t be your biggest worry. The people behind Sale-o have also programmed it to act as a spy and steal your personal and financial information. Once the tool infects your system, you better not waste any time and delete it the first chance you get. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.

How did I get infected with?

As all adware tools, Sale-o is highly skilled in the arts of deception. After all, it has to be if it wants to gain access to your system, and the only way to do that is by means of trickery and finesse. In order to dupe you into allowing it in without you even realizing it, the tool often uses freeware as most users are highly distracted when going through its install. They rush the process and agree to all the terms and conditions without reading them first. That’s why it’s so easy for Sale-o to sneak in undetected. Don’t let your haste and distraction cause you so much trouble. Next time you’re dealing with freeware, be extra attentive, and you just might avoid dealing with a malevolent and damaging program like Sale-o. Naturally, this is not the tool’s only method of invasion. There are many more. For example, it can pose as a bogus system or program update, or hide behind spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites. And, again, attention is crucial!

Why are these ads dangerous?

Sale-o is a program released by WebPick Internet Holdings Ltd. Since it’s ad-supported, its entire existence relies on its ability to fool you into clicking on its unreliable, quite infuriating, ads. Shortly after infection, the application commences a full-on bombardment of pop-ups, which show up every single time you attempt to use your browser. They will continuously interrupt your online experience until you delete Sale-o altogether. That’s the only way to regain the control of your computer. If you don’t, you better get used to frequent system crashes and a slower PC performance. And as if that’s not enough, the program also jeopardizes your privacy. It starts to keep track of your browsing habits as soon as it slithers its way to your system and catalogs every move you make. After it determines it has gathered enough data from you, it proceeds to send it to the people who published it. Once it falls into their hands, they can do with it whatever they please, and you can’t stop them. Do you believe such a useless, malicious, and damaging program is worth risking your privacy for? Think long and hard before you answer.
