How did I get infected with?

Word Surfer is a masterful application with a knack for finding ways to sneak into your system undetected while remaining hidden from your gaze. It may sound perplexing, but it’s pretty straightforward. To slither its way in, the program resorts to the old but gold methods of invasion. It usually fools you into approving it installation without you even realizing it by hitching a ride with freeware. It provides possibly the easiest entry point since most users are not nearly as attentive as they should be when dealing with it. They rush and don’t even bother reading the terms and conditions. They agree to all of them and hope for the best. That’s a horrendous decision. One, which usually results in hazardous tools such as Word Surfer invading your system. If you wish to prevent that from happening, don’t give into distraction and naivety! They’re your enemies, not your friends. Be more cautious, don’t rush, and you just might keep your PC adware-free. After all, a little extra attention goes a long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Word Surfer is an ad-supported tool, which is why it floods you with such endless waterfalls of pop-ups. The application is bound to generate pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that support it so as to continue its existence. If it fails to fulfill its objective, these individuals take it down, and it ceases to exist. That’s why the program does everything in its power to avoid oblivion. Since each ad you are tricked into clicking on helps it proceed with its operations, it leaves nothing to chance. Instead of throwing random pop-ups your way, the tool studies you so as to learn what appeals to you, and be better equipped to decide which ads are best suited for you. It does that by monitoring your browsing activities. When it understands what your preferences include, it selects and bombards you only with ads it deems appropriate. Ads, which have the best shot at sparking your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash. Bear in mind that each pop-up you see is incredibly unreliable. If you’re foolish enough to click on even a single one, all you’ll have to show for it is more malware. Ignore the ads, and you just might avoid accidentally agreeing to install more malevolent tools without even realizing it. But even this malware threat pales in comparison to the security risk the application places upon you. It starts spying on you from the second it slithers its way into your system. It keeps a thorough record of your every move, and when it feels it has collected a sufficient amount of information from you, sends it to the people behind it. That means strangers will have access to your personal and financial details. The question is, are you going to allow that to happen? Think long and hard before you make up your mind.
