TwistGrips is a potentially unwanted adware program. The tool places a severe threat as it threatens both your personal security, as well as your system altogether. The application continuously presents you with a never-ending supply of problems. The first one it throws your way will test the limits of your patience. After this intrusive tool slithers its way in, it begins a full-on bombardment of pop-up ads. Each time you try to use your browser, you’ll be interrupted by an entire waterfall of advertisements. And, since that disruption will occur quite often, the incessant popping up of the ads will soon lead to further nuisances. For one, your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl. Also, your system will start to crash frequently. But these problems will seem utterly insignificant compared to the fact that TwistGrips jeopardizes your personal and financial information. Oh, yes. The tool starts spying on you as soon as it settles on your PC. It keeps track of your online activities and catalogs every move you make. When it determines it has collected enough data from you, it proceeds to send it to the third parties that support it. Think on that. A malevolent infection will provide malicious strangers with access to your private life. Are you going to allow that? Are you ready for the inevitable consequences? Don’t take such a gamble. Protect yourself and your system, and delete TwistGrips the first chance you get.

How did I get infected with?

TwistGrips is required to seek your approval before it installs itself. However, don’t think that this minor detail helps you spot it because it doesn’t. The tool is so resourceful in its trickery that you don’t see it coming. Not unless it decides to reveal itself. Yes, the application does, technically, ask for your permission before installation. But it does it so slyly and subtly that you’re clueless. More often than not, it uses freeware to slip through the cracks and sneak in undetected. It uses it as a shield to hide behind and gains access by praying on your distraction and gullibility. For some reason, users tend to give into haste and rush through freeware’s install process. They don’t bother to read the terms and conditions, but just agree to all of them and hope for the best. That’s a horrible strategy that results in nothing positive. And, it’s a sure way to get stuck with a dangerous and damaging tool like TwistGrips. If you wish to prevent that from happening, just try to be a little more careful. Don’t throw caution to the wind, and remember that a little extra attention today can save you a lot of issues tomorrow.

Why are these ads dangerous?

TwistGrips doesn’t throw ads your way for lack of something better to do. Oh, no. There’s a purpose behind the incessant flood. The application is programmed to bombard you with advertisements to survive. If it is to continue its operations, it has to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published it. If the tool fails to produce profits for these individuals, it ceases to exist. Each ad you click on brings it closer to achieving its goal, and THAT is why there are so many of them. Don’t think the ads you see are random. They aren’t. The program carefully selects each pop-up it shows you. If you’re wondering how it makes that choice, it’s quite straightforward. It observes your online habits and based on your browsing, it learns what appeals to you. Then, after it has determined what your preferences include, it bombards you with the corresponding ads. But the application doesn’t stop at merely monitoring you. It keeps a thorough record of every move you make, and when it decides that it has gathered a sufficient amount of information from you, it hands it to the unknown third parties that support it. Don’t let them have it! Do yourself a favor and keep these strangers away from your private life! Get rid of the PUP as soon as you possibly can. Your future self will thank you for it.
