This malware gets transferred into your computer through different programs or software that you seek online and download or install on your computer. It is placed very strategically under different platforms and may be concealed under an advertisement or an additional search or even just a pop up. What seem as totally harmless and just some extra windows on the background while you are enjoying your favourite website or videos, these may enter your computer with just a random click. And just as you install or download the program you want, these get installed unseen as well.
