Why is this dangerous?

The Search Adventure tool prompts you to use it and “make searching the web thrilling!” And, we implore you NOT to listen to anything the program suggests, because it’s highly unreliable and harmful. It’s an untrustworthy application, which is designed to take advantage of you and exploit you. That’s why experts advise towards its immediate deletion. As soon as you become aware of its existence, find and remove it. Your first indication that you’re dealing with a cyber threat should come with the appearance of the searchadventure.net site. Once it pops up, brace yourself for trouble. Think of it as a big, bright neon sign, cluing you into the presence of an infection, and in this case – a browser hijacker. The pesky tool is using the page as a shield to hide behind, and for as long you allow you it to remain on your PC, it will continue to cause you grievances. As was already mentioned, it starts its mess-making with taking over your default search engine and homepage. Then the pop-up ads kick in, and you’re flooded with both advertisements, sponsored links, and redirects each and every time you browse the web. Not only will that annoy you to no end, but it will also lead to more issues. Due to the incessant intrusions, your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl, and your system will crash frequently. You might shrug these off as minor inconveniences, but you cannot disregard the major ones. Like, for example, the security threat. Oh, yes. Search Adventure places your personal and financial information in grave jeopardy as it’s designed to spy on you from the moment it settles on your system. The hijacker keeps track of your online activities and thoroughly catalogs your every move. Then, once it determines it has gathered a sufficient amount of data from you, it proceeds to send it to the unknown third parties that published it. That’s right. The malicious infection hands off your private information to strangers with possibly wicked intentions. The question is, are you going to allow that? Here’s a hint: don’t. Do yourself a favor, and protect both your and your system’s well-being by locating and deleting the nasty cyber threat. Do it now, so you don’t regret it later.
