How did the parasite enter? The adware is still a program and it needs to be properly installed. In other words, it needs your permission and that’s why it asks for it. Not straightforwardly, of course. It turns to tactics. One of the most popular ones is freeware bundles. Be careful when you download and install programs on your machine. Crooks often attach malware to other applications and if you are not careful enough you get this malware together with the original app. To prevent that, pay more attention. Don’t skip the Terms and Conditions and opt for the Custom settings in the Setup Wizard. This way you will know exactly what you are giving permission to.
Other entering methods used by Qis.Balloonchatted.com are spam messages, fake program updates, corrupted links, third-party ads, etc. The same rule applies! Don’t give into haste and negligence. All they do is lead to infections. Be smart and on the alert. This is the only way to keep your PC infection-free.
