According to a report by malware researches, Confirmprize.com is an adware-related website. If you constantly get redirected to it, it means that somewhere on your computer lurks a malicious parasite. In order to stop it from doing any damages, you need to remove it as soon as you notice its presence. Adware is responsible for the numerous intrusive adverts that flood your screen each time you open your browser. With time, the number of ads will only increase.

The more sponsored pages the parasite displays, the better the chance of you clicking on them. For each click, it gets paid. And to raise its chances of success, this malicious software will spy on your web activity and collect data like browsing history and search results. Thanks to this ability, the cyber pest can customize the promoted content so it looks more attractive to the user. It is important to note that adware is programmed to display as many adverts as possible. It doesn’t have instructions to check if the sources are secure. So it is possible to get redirected to potentially dangerous websites that seek to harm your computer or steal important data from you.

The most common ways for adware to spread is via fake updates, infected links, shady ads, free software bundles, torrent files and spam emails. When dealing with software that you’ve downloaded from the internet, you need to pay close attention. Always read the full terms and conditions. Read between the lines. Users are known to be hasty and negligent when installing software on their computers. Make it a habit of opting for a custom/advanced type of install when the option is available. This will allow you to view the full list of what you’re about to give access to your PC. If any additional software is included, make sure to deselect it. In most cases, such bonus content is actually hidden malware that wants to sneak on your computer undetected.

Adware has the potential of severely damaging your browsers. That’s right, we mean ALL browsers available on your PC. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge – no browser is immune to the adware attack. The longer you keep this parasite unattended, the worse your situation will become. Lagging and slow internet speed are just a taste of the malicious effect the parasite has. Soon, your browsers will experience difficulty to run properly, due to the large quantity of sponsored pages they have to display.

At some point, they will fail to work altogether, making you unable to do any kind of work online. Not to mention the danger your private data will be in if you don’t act against this nasty adware infection. You risk exposing sensitive information such as but not limited to passwords, IP addresses, Login ID, bank account credentials, credit card numbers, etc. Hackers will exploit this opportunity to steal this data and share it with other people for profit. If you don’t want that to happen to you, you need to immediately remove this annoying adware from your computer.
