How did I get infected with?

Being utterly unoriginal, Window Promo follows the typical adware pattern when it comes to its distribution on the Web. So now that you know this program’s trickery isn’t unexpected, how do you think it still manages to get installed? Unfortunately, the answer to that question is about as simple as it’s unpleasant – if Window Promo is currently a part of your PC system, that means you downloaded it yourself. The presence of any PC infection says quite a lot about your browsing habits and in this particular case you probably installed some free programs from a questionable website. Is that what happened? Many PC users tend to download freeware/shareware bundles off of the Internet without bothering to thoroughly check what exactly they’re agreeing to install. Keep in mind that most unverified web pages include at least one dangerous bonus attachment that is sneakily waiting for you to give it green light. However, adware-type infections aren’t the only ones that take advantage of this infiltration method known as freeware bundling. It should be enough to mention Trojans horses and some aggressive ransomware parasites to give you a good idea what great dangers you might stumble across. To protect your machine from a whole bunch of infections, always opt for the Custom or Advanced option in the Setup Wizard. Don’t allow any intruder to get sneakily installed behind your back and deny the potential parasite access at an early stage. Dealing with a virus becomes a lot more difficult after it’s already managed to get installed. Make sure you remember that.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Window Promo’s biggest weapons is its harmless facade so if you make the crucial mistake of leaving the parasite unattended, you will inevitably regret this poor decision very soon. After it gets installed, the parasite automatically starts messing with your browser settings and modifies them according to its own preferences. Yours don’t matter anymore. Once it takes down Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, the virus then continues to harass you even more. As you already know, this is an ad-supported program that comes for free. Therefore, its creators make money by using some of the questionable monetizing methods that the Web is full of. Window Promo generates advertisements and it displays them on every single website that you attempt to visit. You remember that the parasite is compatible with all of your browsers, right? Thanks to the malicious browser extension that Window Promo installs, you will be seeing tons of pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, interstitials, video ads, hyperlniks. It’s rather clear that using your machine begins to look more like a battlefield than a fun experience. Avoiding the nasty ads is mandatory because all web links brought to you by Window Promo are not only intrusive and annoying. They are incredibly harmful as well. You can never know for sure if clicking some appealing Window Promo ad will lead you to a corrupted website filled with malware or some tricky page full of fake, non-existent products. Either way, you will not win anything be keeping this parasite on board. In addition, you should also keep in mind that the virus spies on your personal data and hackers don’t tend to think twice before they sell some private (and probably very sensitive) information to questionable third parties. The more money they make, the better. As you see, however, your cyber security is not a part of the picture. It will be after you regain control over your Internet experience by deleting the virus.
