How did I get infected with?

UniDeals resorts to the usual antics when it comes to finding a way to your system. And it not only finds a way in, but it also enters without you even realizing it. That’s because it relies on slyness and deception. More often than not, the tool prefers to hitch a ride with freeware, but that’s not its only option. The program can also hide behind spam email attachments, corrupted links, and websites or pretend to be a bogus program or system update. It mostly uses freeware because it provides possibly the easiest way in. That’s because, for some reason, users believe there would be no consequences if they agreed to all of the terms and conditions without reading them first. Why they think so is a complete mystery. They soon realize just how ridiculous of a notion that was, but, unfortunately, by the time they do, the damage is already done. Don’t rush and be more attentive! That way, you’ll avoid dealing with a malevolent and damaging adware tool such as UniDeals.

Why are these ads dangerous?

UniDeals’ selling point is that it helps you save money. It provides you with all sorts of coupons for online sales and with information on deals and bargains you can take advantage of. However, this won’t do you any good. That’s because the pop-ups are extremely unreliable, and if you are foolish enough to click on even one of them, you’ll most likely end up installing more malware on your computer. Also, think about the way the application presents you with this information. That’s right. It does so via the never-ending waterfall of pop-up ads. UniDeals is an ad-supported application, which means that if it wishes to continue its operations, it has to produce pay-per-click revenue for the third parties behind it. Unfortunately, the ads are not the only valid way for the program to generate profits. Aside from trying to spark your interest with its amazing-looking ads and trick you into clicking on them, the program has one more method. The tool steals your personal and financial information and hands it over to the individuals who support it. If you’re wondering how it manages to steal your private data, it’s pretty straightforward. UniDeals is designed to start keeping track of your browsing activities immediately after infiltration. It catalogs your every move, and when it feels it has enough data, proceeds to send it to these people. Are you willing to let it? Do you think it’s worth the risk to grant access to your private life to strangers with wicked intentions? Think long and hard before you answer.
