How did I get infected with?

Traffic Exchange uses the standard means of infiltration to invade your PC. It doesn’t variate from all the other cyber threats, roaming the web. It’s not particularly unique in its methods. The tool turns to the old but gold means to slither into your system undetected. The usual trickery involves freeware. It’s quite possibly the easiest way of accessing your system. And, without you realizing it at the time. Why? Well, most users aren’t nearly as attentive as they should be when going through its install. They rush, and throw all caution to the wind. And, instead on due diligence, choose to rely on luck. Don’t leave your fate to chance! Don’t just agree to the terms and conditions without reading them. Don’t give into distraction and haste. Don’t be naive. Be vigilant! Be thorough! Sometimes, even a little extra attention can save you a ton of troubles. Choose caution over carelessness. Carelessness leads to infections!

Why are these ads dangerous?

Adware applications are, above all, annoying. They irritate you constantly. Every time you open your browser, you get interrupted. The infection bombards you with countess pop-ups. And, it redirects you to an array of unreliable websites, as well. And, every ad and page you see, poses more troubles. Why? Well, they’re riddled with malware. Both the advertisements and the pages are immensely unreliable. And, if you make the mistake of clicking on either one, chances are, you get stuck with more malware. Take the pop-ups, for example. Each ad conceals malicious applications. And, each time you press one, you agree to install said applications. A click equals your consent. By pressing a pop-up, you give the green light to the malware behind it. So, if you wish NOT to flood your system with cyber threats, be wary. Be careful what you click on as everything Traffic Exchange displays is dangerous! But as was already mentioned, the absolute worst part of having adware is the security risk. PUP adware is designed to spy on you from the moment it invades your PC. Traffic Exchange is no different. It begins spying on your browsing upon infiltration. The tool keeps track of your online habits, and catalogs them. After it decides it has gathered enough data, it hands it off. To whom? Well, to the unknown third parties that published it, of course. And, after these people get their hands on it, they can use it as they see fit. Do you think that will end well for you? Strangers having your personal and financial information at their disposal? Don’t be naive. Do yourself a favor, and delete the nasty adware at once! As soon as you detect its presence, get rid of it! The more you delay, the worse your situation gets. So, figure out your priorities, and act in accordance.
