How did I get infected with?

Webplayer is quite resourceful when it comes to gaining access to your system. This program may be bound to ask for your permission before its installation, but that doesn’t present a problem for it. None whatsoever. That’s because the application relies on slyness and finesse in order to infect your PC. More often than not, it tricks you to allow it in by hiding behind freeware, spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites. It can also pose as a false system or program update. While you’re thinking you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, in reality, you’re giving the green light to a malevolent, intrusive and harmful tool. As soon as you click “Agree”, “Install”, “Okay”, or whatever it shows you, you’re stuck with it. That’s why, if you wish to avoid dealing with Webplayer and its never-ending messes, you should be more attentive! All of these methods of invasion rely on your distraction, naivety, and haste. If you don’t provide them, you won’t get stuck with adware or worse.

Why are these ads dangerous?

There’s a reason Webplayer floods you with so many pop-ups. This is an ad-supported program, which means that its entire existence depends on its ability to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the people behind it. Every ad you are fooled into clicking on is profit for these individuals. However, clicking on the ads is the absolute last thing you should do. That’s because, the pop-ups are extremely unsafe, and even a single click on a single ad, will most certainly lead to more malware making its way to your system. If that’s something you wish to avoid, ignore the ads no matter how enticing they seem. Unfortunately, the threat of more unwanted malware won’t be your biggest concern. This application is programmed to spy on you and steal your private details, and if you allow it to remain in your system, it will succeed. The tool starts to keep track of your browsing habits immediately after invasion, and it keeps track of every move you make. After it determines it has gathered enough data from you, it sends it to the people behind it. Once these wicked strangers get their hands on your private information, they can do with it whatever they please. The possibilities are endless. Do yourself a favor, and delete Webplayer the first chance you get.
