How did I get infected with?

Wait1second.com is certainly responsible for promoting adware, but it’s not to blame for its installation. You do that all on your own. Yes, it’s your fault you get stuck with these malicious programs, but don’t be too hard on yourself. Adware applications are extremely resourceful and quite masterful in the arts of deceit. Not only do they manage to dupe you into approving their installations, but they do so without you even realizing it. They rely on the old but gold methods of invasion. More often than not, adware sneaks in undetected by hitching a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest access point. That’s because users tend to rush its install and agree to all of the terms and conditions without reading them first. That’s a horrendous mistake that leads to horrible repercussions. Unless you WISH to end up with adware, be more careful! Especially when dealing with freeware as it’s often bundled with all sorts of malicious tools. Haste, naivety, and distraction are not your friends, but, rather, your enemies, so avoid them. And, remember that a little extra attention can go a long, long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Wait1second.com should not be underestimated. It is a serious threat that leads to serious consequences. If you ignore it and pretend it’s not bothering you every time you try to go online, you will get stuck with adware sooner rather than later. Make no mistake! This is not a matter of “if”, it’s a question of “when” as the page WILL eventually get you to install adware, maybe even more than one. And, once adware programs invade your system, you should brace yourself for an entire array of problems. For one, shortly after infiltration, these programs commence a full-on bombardment of pop-up ads. So, not only will you be continuously interrupted by the Wait1second.com page, but also by the vexatious never-ending stream of pop-ups. Furthermore, since the ads do show up incessantly, they lead to more issues. They slow down your computer’s performance to a crawl and cause frequent system crashes. Also, the pop-ups are so immensely unreliable that if you click on even one just once, all you’ll have to show for it is more malware. But the ads, and the troubles they bring forth, will seem insignificant compared to the grave security risk adware places upon you. Immediately after these damaging applications latch onto your system, they start spying on you in an attempt to steal your personal and financial information. They keep track of your browsing activities and catalog your every move. When they determine that they have collected enough data from you, they send it to the third parties that support it. Are you willing to hand your private life into the hands of strangers with possibly wicked intentions? The choice is yours. The long and hard before you decide.
