However, the vexatious ads won’t be your only concern. Your biggest worry will be the fact that the program is designed to act as a spy and steal your personal and financial information.

How did I get infected with?

As was already stated, Selectgo.net is quite masterful when it comes to tricking you. It not only manages to get you to permit its installation, but also keeps you clueless to the fact that you did. Its usual methods of invasion include hiding behind freeware, spam email attachments, corrupted links, and websites. Also, it can pretend to be a bogus system or program update. More often than not, the application chooses to hitch a ride with freeware as it provides the easiest way in. Do you know why? Well, because most users rush through the installation process and pay little to no attention while going through the terms and conditions. They agree to everything in haste and end up paying for it. Although all of these methods are prolific, they share a common trait. They pray on your naivety and distraction. If you pay a little extra attention, maybe you’ll avoid getting stuck with adware like Selectgo.net, or with something even worse.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Selectgo.net is an ad-supported program, which is why it bombards you with so many pop-ups. Yes, there is a reason behind its madness. If it is to continue its existence, the tool has to generate pay-per-click revenue for the people who published it. Each ad you click on is profit for these individuals. However, it is NOT advised to click on any of the ads it shows you, no matter how enticing they seem. That’s because the pop-ups are highly unreliable, and if you click on them you run the risk of installing more malware on your computer without even realizing it. And if one malevolent tool can cause so much damage, just try to imagine the repercussion of having five more. How long do you think your computer will last before experiencing The Blue Screen of Death? As grim as that possibility may be and as infuriating as the ads may seem, they’re fairly insignificant compared to the fact that Selectgo.net places your security in harm’s way. The program is designed to keep track of your browsing activities and catalog every move you make. Once it feels it has collected enough data from you, it proceeds to hand it over to the unknown malicious people behind it. What do you think strangers with wicked intentions will do with access to your private and sensitive information? Whatever it may be, there’s nothing you can do to stop them, and with that thought in mind, try to answer the question “Is Selectgo.net worth it?”.
