Social Reviewer is an adware application. It’s a potentially unwanted program, whose presence on your computer is followed by a ton of grievances and headaches. The PUP slithers its way into your system by praying on your naivety and carelessness and then makes a complete mess. The first issue you’ll be faced with, courtesy of the tool’s presence is the annoyance of having to endure its never-ending array of pop-up ads. Yes, shortly after it settles on your PC, the application begins a full-on bombardment of pop-ups, which will plague your online experience incessantly. They’ll appear every time you try to use your browser without fail. Just think about how quickly that will go from vexatious to utterly infuriating. Are you prepared to bear all that frustration? Well, even if the answer is “Yes”, think again. The ads’ continuous popping up will be the least of your concerns. You’ll also be faced with a malware threat, frequent system crashes, and a slower PC performance. But the cherry on top is by far the grave security risk Social Reviewer places upon you. The PUP spies on you in an attempt to steal your private information and then send it to the third parties that support it, so they can use it for their agendas.

How did I get infected with?

Social Reviewer is a sly and quite resourceful program. It has an entire array of tricks up its sleeve and is not shy about using either one of them to sneak into your system. And, it’s very successful in its deceit as it not only manages to dupe you into allowing it in but also keeps you unaware of its existence. That’s right. You’re utterly clueless to the presence of a hazardous infection on your PC until it decides to show itself. That usually happens when the bombardment commences. More often than not, Social Reviewer enters your computer by disguising itself as a bogus system or program update. For example, you may be entirely convinced that you’re updating your Adobe Flash Player or Java, but you’d be wrong. In actuality, you’ll be installing a malicious and intrusive adware program. To prevent from accidentally allowing an application such as Social Reviewer to enter your system, be sure to be more careful and to not rush. Don’t give into gullibility and distraction as they only lead to trouble. A little extra attention goes a long, long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Social Reviewer is a threat you shouldn’t underestimate. It will cause you an entire whirlwind of troubles, the first of which will be the pop-up ad bombardment. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Due to the ads’ incessant display, your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl, and your system will frequently crash. Also, as they’re immensely unreliable, they’ll present you with a severe malware threat. If you click on even a single pop-up, you risk unwillingly and unknowingly agreeing to install more malevolent tools. But even accidentally approving the installation of more unwanted malware on your PC will seem pretty insignificant compared to the grave security risk Social Reviewer places upon you. As soon as the program infiltrates your system it starts to spy on you. It keeps track of your browsing activities and catalogs every single move you make. When it determines that it has collected a sufficient amount of data from you, it proceeds to send it to the people behind it. That means strangers will have access to your private life. Are you willing to allow that to happen? Do you think this useless, damaging application is worth such a colossal risk? Hardly. Do what’s best for you and your system, and delete Social Reviewer as soon as you possibly can. You won’t regret it.
