The Cgg.peakexc.com website keeps appearing while you browse the internet? Prepare for some bad news. The presence of this page is a sign that your computer has been infiltrated by adware. Once it invades, it infects all browsers you have on your PC. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari – no program is immune. After the cyber parasite establishes itself, it moves on to generate multiple intrusive advertisements in the form of pop-ups, banners, blinking alert messages and even in-text ads. The goal here is to create profit via the PPC (Pay-Per-Click) method.

To ensure the success of its mission, the cyber pest will monitor your online activity and steal data like browsing history and search results, so it can better customize the promoted content and provide an advertisement that you are more likely to click on. The more ads the parasite displays, the better the chance it has to get revenue. And with the large number of adverts comes the bigger problem – your otherwise normal and secure browsing experience is compromised, as well as your personal and even financial information.

Adware is a sneaky little parasite that relies on your naivety. It cannot hack its way and gain access to your computer alone. It needs your help to do that. Often, users unknowingly let malware infiltrate, by opening spam emails and attachments, as well as installing shady freeware. Other common ways to get adware on your PC include fake update requests, torrent files and dubious links and ads. Always pay close attention to what you click on. Think twice before clicking on that ‘I Agree’ button.

Cyber criminals count on your negligence to gain access to your cyber machines and steal your valuable data. Often what happens when users download software bundles from the internet is, that they are in a rush to complete the installation process and opt for a Quick install. Big mistake. This way, you have no way of knowing if there was additional software included that was not properly disclosed.

Malware counts on such mistake to invade. Instead, we strongly suggest selecting Custom or Advanced mode in the Setup Wizard, so as to easily view if there are any optional installations. If there are, simply deselect them and move on with the install process.

Adware brings nothing but trouble once it gets on your PC. Your browsing will never be the same. Your online privacy will no longer exist, not to mention what a hellish experience being on the internet will be. An ad attack might not seem very dangerous, but in the long term, it can do some serious damage. The longer you allow this parasite to stay, the more time you give it to complete its malicious plan. It won’t be long until your browser stops working properly and your internet speed drops.

What’s more, hackers can exploit this weakness, so they can obtain private information such as but not limited to passwords, Login ID, IP addresses, bank account credentials and credit card numbers. You don’t want that to happen to you, right? We suggest you follow our advice and remove this annoying malware from your computer as soon as possible!
