Once, MSIQL.EXE settles in your system, the problems start pouting. It messes with you settings, altering them behind your back. You open your browser one day to find that nothing is the same. First of all, you are being constantly interrupted by countless irritating commercials. They are covering your whole screen each time you open a new tab or try loading a page. Always there always blinking and popping, the ads are prompting you to click on them.

All the interruptions are driving you mad and you are unable to get any work done. But all of this is not only annoying. It also poses malware risk. Take the ads, for instance.

Your IPs, email addresses, accounts, usernames, passwords, browsing-related information, like results, queries, etc. All of this is the cataloged by the PUP. It keeps on collecting until it deems it has enough and then, it hands over everything to its crooks. Some stranger who can do with your personal data whatever they want. They won`t think twice before they sell it to third parties. And even if they don’t sell it, they will use it themselves.

You may also wonder how it got in. Well, these infections cannot enter without your permission so they need to ask you for it. However, they don’t do that straightforward as it is pretty clear you will say “no”. Instead, they turn to the old but gold means of infiltration to trick you into giving them your approval. Like freeware, spam emails, fake updates, compromised links/pages/torrents, malicious ads, etc.

The methods are many but none of them is good enough to help the PUP if it doesn’t get what it needs the most. Your carelessness. If you are negligent, each one of the above-mentioned tactics will fool you into giving MSIQL.EXE green light. But if you are a little more vigilant, you will be able to prevent the infection which is the better and easier option. Infections pay on your negligence. Don’t prove it.
