How did I get infected with?

Adware applications turn to deception and finesse to invade. So does Wonderful Weather. It exploits users’ carelessness. And, dupes them into allowing its installment. All, while keeping them clueless. If you wonder how it’s possible to agree to install a tool, and not know it, it’s simple. You don’t pay enough attention. Let’s elaborate. Adware tools tend to use the old but gold means of invasion. In other words, freeware, fake updates, bogus updates, corrupted links. The usual antics. If you don’t take the time to do your due diligence, that’s it. You end up with a cyber threat. Always remember to be thorough! Be vigilant. Take the time to read the terms and conditions. Don’t skip ahead, and agree to everything in haste. Infections rely on that. They prey on your distraction, naivety, and haste. So, don’t grant them. Be extra careful. Always choose caution over carelessness. One leads to infections. The other helps to keep them out.

Why is this dangerous?

The Wonderful Weather program doesn’t only mess with your online experience. Yes, it turns it into a complete nightmare. But it does so much more than that, as well. The adware menace threatens your privacy. Yes, on top of everything else it puts you through, you can add that, too. The infection places your personal and financial information in jeopardy. It’s designed that way. The application follows programming to spy on you from the moment it invades. And, that’s what it does. It spies on your activities, and collects data. When it deems it has enough, it sends it. That’s right. The adware steals information from you, and proceeds to expose it. It hands it over to the unknown third parties that published it. In other words, cyber criminals with questionable agendas. Do NOT allow that scenario to unfold! Protect yourself from the hazardous threat. As soon as you discover its existence, act towards its deletion. Find its hiding place, and remove it when you do. Do not delay. Delays have consequences.
