Adware displays the Webminerpool.com pop-ups. This parasite sneaks into your computer and throws you into a whirlwind of “Ads by Webminerpool.com.” The parasite is so aggressive that many users confuse it for a virus. Luckily, that’s not the case. You are stuck with a standard app. As such, it has many limitations. The adware, for example, can’t get installed without your permission. It needs you, the user, to approve its access. No permission, no admission! The adware is bound to seek your consent. And it does! The parasite always asks. But it does so in the sneakiest way possible. This menace usually uses software bundles and gets installed when you “forget” to deselect it. It, of course, also employs fake updates, corrupted links, and pirated software. It hides in the shadows and waits for you to let your guard down. Do not make that mistake! The parasite preys on your naivety. Its tricks succeed only when you throw caution to the wind. Your diligence, on the other hand, prevents infections. So, don’t be lazy. Even a little extra attention can spare you an avalanche of problems. Stay away from shady websites. Download software and updates from reliable (preferably official) sources only.

The Webminerpool.com ads are a plague. You can’t so much as touch your browser without getting flooded with them. Banners cover every website you visit. Commercials pause your videos.

The ads are annoying and meddling. They are, however, also your warning. You are under surveillance! Just take a close look at the “Powered by Webminerpool.com” pop-ups and you’ll realize that you are in serious trouble! The ads are not random but targeted at you. They are related to the websites you visit, the links you follow, the videos you watch. Even your actions under the Incognito mode trigger ads. That’s how the adware operates. It studies your browsing habits and uses the collected data to turn you into an easy target. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! When the parasite gathers enough data, it wastes no time and sells everything. Do you feel comfortable knowing that any crook out there can buy your information?
