Once the infection lands on board, it goes after your browsers. Yes, plural. You probably have more than one browser installed and not they are all infected. The adware adds a pesky plugin to them thus injecting them with ads. Tons of highly questionable and extremely irritating commercials flood every page you attempt to visit. But do you notice something strange about the commercials? They look like they have been selected specially for you, don’t they? And they have been. By the adware. How does it know what you like? Well, it spies on you. It studies you and knows what you have searched for, what pages you have bookmarked, your pre-infection browsing history, etc. And it uses this information to displays ads that would spark your interest because it needs your clicks.

Hackers use the pay-per-click mechanism to earn illegitimate profits at victims` expense. That’s why the adware bombards you with commercials that are appealing to you. If you click, crooks make money. But this is not all. Most of the ads you see are also dangerous. They conceal more malware inside them and your single click is all it takes for you to download said malware. Or, clicking on an ad may redirect you to a page brimming with infections. The same rule applies. You click, you get infected.

Eventually, it will trick you into clicking. Unless you get rid of the adware altogether. The ads will disappear with it. This infection only causes you problems.

How to prevent another adware infection? Well, prevention requires caution. And not only with adware, with all infections. They need your approval to get on board and if you don’t pay attention, they manage to dupe you into giving it. Adware pests usually use freeware bundles to dupe you.

Next time when you are installing a program, opt for the Advanced settings in the Setup Wizard instead of the Basic ones. This way, you will be presented a list with all extra program which you were about to agree to install. Deselect them all. Such “bonus” apps are usually infections that are sneakily seeking your approval. Don’t be gullible. If you actually needed them, you would have already installed them. Don’t let yourself be fooled. Deselect all additionally attached apps and then continue installing the program you originally wanted.
