Even though the adware is relatively easy to tackle, if granted enough time, it could cause you some irreversible damage.
Don’t wait for that scenario to unfold. Cut the pest`s stay as short as possible. As soon as you spot the I30city.com page, accept that fact you are in trouble and start looking for a way out. Find where the nasty infection is hiding and remove it upon discovery. If you don’t, your situation will worsen as time passes. The longer the threat stays, the more problems it causes.

Once the adware enters, it goes after your browsers. It adds a pesky plugin to all of your browsers. By appending this plugin, the pest injects your browsers with ads. Why? Because this is its purpose. It has to generate pay-per-click revenue for it owners so it bombards you with commercials. All of a sudden, you see ads on every page that you visit. Coupons, deals, offers, banners, in texts, pop-ups, pop-unders, video ads, comparisons, great deals, best offers, etc. If you click on those ads, you help crooks make money. They use you as their sponsor. Does this sound like a good idea? No! Not only are you sponsoring their business, but you are also exposing yourself to danger.
Most of the ads are corrupted. They either lead to shady pages full of malware or they conceal malware themselves. Either way, a single click is all it takes for you to download more infections on your already infected machine. There might be some safe ads as well, but there is no way of telling which is which unless you click. We suggest you don’t take that risk. Your browsing experience is already ruined and your machine is underperforming due to this single adware. Imagine what will happen if you install more parasites. Things will get ugly. Remove the adware and everything will get back to normal. The infection also jeopardizes your privacy by spying on you and collecting sensitive data. Don’t let it. Protect your private details.
How did you get infected with this? Usually, adware pieces rely on freeware bundles to arrive at their destination. Next time you download and install a free program off the web, be more careful. Do not rush the process and don’t blindly say yes to everything. Read the Terms and Conditions first. If you spot anything out of the ordinary, abort the installation. Also, opt for the Custom settings in the Setup Wizard. Under them, you will be able to see every additionally attached app in the bundle as well as deselect it. Crooks don’t expect you to do so and that’s why they attach their malicious programs. Well, prove them wrong. Don’t be lazy and do your due diligence. Carelessness is a one-way street to infections. Vigilance keeps you safe.
