Why are these ads dangerous?

There’s a reason TankGripHook bombards you with so many pop-ups, and it’s that the tool is ad-supported. If you’re unsure of what that means exactly, it’s pretty self-explanatory. The application is supported by unknown third parties, who demand it generates web traffic and pay-per-click revenue. If it fails to fulfill its objective, they take it down, and it falls into oblivion. Naturally, the program does everything in its power to avoid the fate of extinction. It leaves nothing to chance. To increase its likelihood of success, it gets to know you better. The application studies you by monitoring your browsing. By keeping a close eye on your online habits, the tool manages to determine what you like and what appeals to you. That way, it knows which ads to throw your way. It selects the most appropriate ads for you and commences the flood. So, you don’t see some random ads. Oh, no.  TankGripHook only displays pop-ups, which it feels would have a better shot at sparking your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash. Don’t fall for the pop-ups’ appeal! A single click equals unwanted malware installs. But, as was already stated, even the malware threat pales in comparison to the grave security risk. Don’t allow TankGripHook to steal your personal and financial information, and hand it to strangers with agendas. Delete it the very first chance you get. You won’t regret it.
