You’ll be constantly spinning the unlucky wheel if you stumble across this program. Even though its name sounds rather interesting, don’t be fooled. We’ve written removal guides about infections with much more extravagant and peculiar names. Now, do you know what adware is? You might want to learn a bit more about this kind of PC infection right now. You’ve been infected with it. In the never-ending cyber war against hackers you simply HAVE TO BE as informed as possible in order to protect your safety. Don’t take unnecessary risks and make sure you know how to deal with Spin the Lucky Wheel. The more time this adware-type nuisance manages to spend on board, the bigger damage it will cause you. That is why you have to take quick, adequate measures the minute you encounter this parasite’s unwanted presence on board. Being typical adware, Spin the Lucky Wheel promises various functionalities which, of course, are all non-existent. The virus will not enhance your browsing experience, it will not help you gain any “special awards” but it will jeopardize your security instead. First of all, Spin the Lucky Wheel adds a malicious browser extension immediately after it invades your machine. Obviously, the virus doesn’t bother to search for your permission or authorization beforehand. Your preferences don’t matter now that your computer is compromised. What matters is the devious profit hacker gain thanks to their parasite. Yes, this whole thing revolves solely around hackers’ money. You should know that hackers use the pay-per-click mechanism to gain revenue online. That means Spin the Lucky Wheel’s ads are currently on your PC screen for one very simple reason – hackers want them to be there. Keep in mind that the virus generates safe, fake and corrupted commercials. There’s no telling which is which until you click. However, does that really sound like a good idea? You might end up on some questionable website infested with malware or you could purchase a bogus product and lose your money. Both scenarios are quite nasty, aren’t they? To prevent further damage, stay away from Spin the Lucky Wheel’s pop-ups. Regardless of how harmless/attractive they might seem to be, remember, there is a parasite standing behind them. Apart from sponsored (not to mention, potentially harmful) commercials, Spin the Lucky Wheel also generates questionable software updates and other equally useless third-party web links. In addition, the virus spies on your browsing-related activities and steals personal data. As you could imagine, cyber criminals won’t think twice before they sell your private information for marketing purposes which causes the immense danger of financial fraud or even identity theft. To avoid all of that, get rid of the parasite.

How did I get infected with?

Did you install this program voluntarily? No? This comes as a great surprise to nobody because adware is notoriously sneaky. More often than not, infections get attached to other, safe programs in so-called “bundles”. These freeware/shareware bundles are currently the most efficient virus distribution method online so watch out for malware every time you install programs. This time you got stuck with adware but some much more virulent types of viruses travel the Web applying that very same technique. Don’t underestimate the immense danger bundles bring upon you. Instead, make sure you thoroughly check out the programs you’re about to install. Opt for the advanced/custom option instead of the basic one. This way you will be able to spot and deselect any potential virus that’s trying to sneak in as a bonus. You do not want such a bonus. Also, reading the EULA (End User License Agreement) or the Terms and Conditions is another piece of good advice. Yes, it’s more time-consuming than clicking the “I accept” button but uninstalling a parasite later on is a much bigger hassle. Last but not least, avoid third-party ads, spam messages and spam email-attachments because they might turn out to be incredibly harmful.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The Spin the Lucky Wheel advertisements cover all websites you visit on a daily basis. It’s quite obvious that surfing the Web becomes almost impossible when you have to constantly deal with stubborn, irritating, worthless commercial. As mentioned, the virus installs a browser extension or an add-on which is perfectly compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. You cannot escape the parasite’s shenanigans unless you uninstall the parasite itself. Don’t hesitate. This pest serves as a backdoor to malware and exposes you directly to more infections. Its never-ending parade of pop-ups, pop-unders, interstitials and banners is immensely unreliable and should be avoided. If you allow hackers to trick you into clicking any of the pesky commercials displayed by this program, you will have a bad time. Instead of causing your own computer further damage, get rid of the parasite and make sure you do so fast.
