How did I get infected with?

Surf-N-Block resorts to the old but gold methods of invasion to sneak into your system undetected. It usually gains access by hitching a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest entry point. That’s because most users don’t pay nearly as enough attention as they should during its installation. Instead of carefully reading the terms and conditions, they rush and don’t even bother. They just agree to everything and hope for the best. Well, that’s how you end up with adware. If you wish to avoid getting stuck with Surf-N-Block, be sure to be more careful. Don’t give into naivety, haste, and distraction for they will only lead you to regret. And, also, try to remember that a little extra attention today can save you a lot of troubles tomorrow. Other preferred means of infiltration, the application often turns to involve the use of corrupted links or websites, or spam email attachments. The tool can also pose as a bogus system or program update, like Java or Adobe Flash Player.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Surf-N-Block is an ad-supported application, which is why it floods you with so many pop-ups. Each ad it tricks you into clicking on generates web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the people behind it, and, thus, helps it proceed with its operations. If the tool fails to deceive you and produce clicks, i.e. profit, it ceases to exist. That’s why, the application leaves nothing to chance! It does everything in its power to increase its likelihood of success. Instead of throw random ads your way and hope for the best, the program studies you. It monitors your browsing habits so as to understand what your preferences include. Once it determines what you like and dislike, it selects ads, which correspond to your particular interests. Then the bombardment commences. But whatever you do, do NOT be foolish enough to click on them! The pop-ups are immensely unreliable. A single click on a single ad inevitably results in more unwanted malware installations. That’s right. By clicking on even one ad, by choice or accident, you unwillingly agree to install more malevolent tools on your computer. But the malware threat will pale in comparison to the severe security risk the application places upon you. After it latches onto your system, the program starts spying on you. It not only observes your online activities, but also keeps a thorough record of every move you make. When it deems it has collected enough data from you, it sends it to the unknown third parties behind it, who can then use it as they see fit. Don’t grant access to your personal and financial information to strangers with agendas! Surf-N-Block is NOT worth the gamble! Delete it as soon as you possibly can! You won’t regret it.
