ZoomEx is a potentially unwanted adware program. That’s the most common type of infection there is, and possibly the most annoying one. Adware viruses are quite infuriating. Once they slither into your system, they test the limits of your patience. Soon after infiltration, they begin a full-on bombardment of pop-up advertisements. You’re greeted by ads each and every time you attempt to use your browser. Think about how quickly this unwanted intrusion will go from vexatious to utterly maddening. But compared to the grand scheme of troubles caused by such invasions, the pop-up ads’ flood is like a walk in the park. Among other annoying things, you’ll e faced to deal with a grave malware threat, as well as have your personal and financial information placed in jeopardy. Why? Well, the malware issue comes from the fact that the ads you’ll see incessantly are highly unreliable. They’re bundled with various malevolent tools just waiting to pounce on your system. And, do you know what? You help them do just that. How? Well, by pressing the pop-ups they’re using as a shield to hide behind. That’s right. A click equals more unwanted malware installation, so don’t click on even a single ad! You’ll only regret it. As for the security threat, it derives from the fact that ZoomEx spies on you from the moment it settles on your PC. It seals data from you, and then sends it to the third parties that support it. That is if you let it. So, the question is, are you going to let it? It’s best not to take chances with such dangerous, harmful applications like ZoomEx. Do yourself a favor, and get rid of it at once.

How did I get infected with?

How do you suppose you got stuck with ZoomEx? Do you remember agreeing to install it? Unlikely. But you must have if you’re in your current predicament. After all, applications like this one require your approval before they install themselves. Otherwise, they cannot enter. That means, even though, you have no memory of it, you must have permitted the tool in. But don’t be too hard on yourself, that’s how the application operates – it tricks you into agreeing to install it while keeping you oblivious to it. More often than not, it turns to the old but gold means of invasion to sneak in undetected. Its favorite method is through freeware, but it can also trick you by hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted sites, or links.  Also, it can pose as a fake update, like Java or Adobe Flash Player. Can you spot the common denominator all methods share? It’s your carelessness. The tool relies on your distraction to slither in, so if you don’t rush and don’t give into your gullibility, you might avoid dealing with ZoomEx and its ever-growing daily messes. Be more careful! You’ll be surprised how many troubles even a little extra attentions can save you.

Why are these ads dangerous?

ZoomEx tries to sell itself as reliable and trustworthy by making all kinds of promises of assistance. Well, don’t buy either one of them as they’re all unsubstantiated and utterly made-up. When you look past the sugary layer of marketing, it becomes quite evident that the tool is NOT beneficial to your system. It’s quite the contrary. The application wrecks your system, steals your private information and, basically, takes advantage of you in any way it can. Back to the most important question: Are you going to let it? Are you planning to stand idly by as it bombards you with malware-filled advertisements? Do you think you’ll be able to accept the slower PC performance, or bear the frequent system crashes these ever-present pop-ups will inevitably cause? And, don’t forget about the risk of accidentally agreeing to the installation of malevolent tools. One click is all it takes, be it by choice or accident, and you’ll be ‘graced’ by the presence of more malware. How long do you believe your system will last under the continuous advances of the hazardous infection? Also, you have to consider the severe risk of your private information falling into the hands of strangers, when making the decision whether or not to allow ZoomEx to stay on your PC. Here’s some advice: decide against allowing it to stay. Protect yourself and your PC, and delete the tool the first chance you get. Make the right choice.
