Find where the nasty adware is lurking and remove it on the spot. This is the best course of action you can take and the sooner you take it, the better.

Adware infections are ad-supported programs. This means that their entire existence relies on their ability to generate as many ads are possible and bring their developers effortless revenue. The adware, using Efj.potshotmasterpiece.com as a front it no different. It starts bombarding you with commercials from the moment it enters. Your entire online experience changes significantly. To be more precise, it turns into a nightmare. Every page you open is heavy on advertisements. Even the ones that used to be ad-free are now completely covered with banners, coupons, deals, offers, in-texts, video ads, best prices, comparisons, etc. and etc.

So, as we said, the adware`s goal is to help its crooks make money. They use the pay-per-click system to make profits. Every time you click on an ad, you fill their pockets. You are becoming their sponsor just by keeping the adware on board. You are probably thinking “Why would I click on an ad?”. Well, there are two reasons.

First of all, the ads are so many and appear out of the blue under your cursor that sometimes it is impossible to avoid them. And second, these are not just random commercials. The adware doesn’t leave everything to luck. No. It wants to make sure that you would at least want to click on the commercials. That’s why the pest spies on you. It knows you better than you think. It monitors your online activates and knows what you like. It knows which pages you visit and which pages you have bookmarked.

Also, Efj.potshotmasterpiece.com has access to your browser history which means that it also knows that you have searched for. Thus, the infection uses all of this information to generate commercials which will spark your interest. This way, you will be at least tempted to click. And if you click, crooks gain money. But not only that. If you click on the wrong ad you may also compromise your already compromised computer even more. The last thing you need is more infection to worry about. But let`s get back to the “spying on you” part. You do realize that this could easily go out of control which really jeopardizes your private credentials. Take experts` advice and get rid of this adware the first chance you get. Otherwise, it won`t be long before you regret it.

Once you clean your PC, make sure it remains clean. Do you know how this adware entered your machine? It tricked you into giving it your permission. Yes, this infection is still a program which needs your approval on its installment. But since you would never give it knowing that Efj.potshotmasterpiece.com is a parasite, it duped you. There are many tricks that would work IF you provide something as well – your negligence. And considering your situation, you obviously did. The adware could try tricking you with spam emails, corrupted links/pages, malicious third-party ads, freeware bundles, fake program updates, unverified download sources, etc.

The tactics are many but none of them would do if you pay the necessary attention. Don’t throw caution to the wind and don’t rush. Don’t open emails from unknown senders. Stay away from shady pages and illegitimate sources. Don’t blindly click on every ad that pops up. When installing an update/program, always read the Terms and Conditions/EULA and opt for the Advanced settings instead of the Basic ones as they give you complete control over the installation process. Then, if you notice anything suspicious, abort the installation immediately.
