And, since that will be a regular occurrence, the ads’ incessant appearance will result in frequent system crashes and a slower PC performance. But the issues don’t stop there. Since the ads are extremely unreliable, if you click on even one, by choice or accident, you’ll unwillingly end up installing more unwanted malware.

As soon as an adware program infects your computer it starts spying on you in an attempt to steal your personal and financial information. The application begins to keep track of your browsing activities and catalogs every move you make. When it determines it has gathered enough data from you, it proceeds to send the collected information to the third parties that support it. Are you willing to hand your private life in the hands of malevolent strangers with wicked intentions? Because that is what’s going to happen if you do nothing, and allow Security-essentials.info to proceed with its continuous disturbance.
