If you constantly get redirected to Xpp.dipolesfawned.com, ad banners by Xpp.dipolesfawned.com appear on websites that never had ads before, then you can be sure. Your machine is infected with adware. However, if you visit the Xpp.dipolesfawned.com website and the only thing you can see is an error message, then your machine is not infected. At least, not with this rogue program.

There are many ways to get infected with the Xpp.dipolesfawned.com adware. A drive-by download is a very common method used for its distribution. It happens when you visit a malicious website. When you open such a site, this type of download initiates automatically. You won’t see any visible signs that a download is being executed, you can only detect it if you pay close attention to your Task Manager or if you have special software that would notify you when such an event occurs.

Spam emails, torrents, fake program updates or malicious pop-up ads are other common distribution methods. Torrent downloaded programs are not safe. They often carry malicious software. To distribute adware, such as the one behind Xpp.dipolesfawned.com, developers use a method called “bundling”. It means that additional software is packed with legitimate programs. When you start the installation process, you will be given two types of installation to choose from: standard/fast installation and an advanced/custom one. Under the advanced option, you can select or deselect any program you wish to be installed on your computer. However, if you choose the standard method, you won’t see what you are installing and may get your machine infected with a virus.

The Xpp.dipolesfawned.com adware has only one goal. To make money for its owners. Once installed, the rogue program will never stop bombarding you with all kinds of pop-up ads, coupons, great deals, video ads and so on. Don’t underestimate those ads, they will grab your attention. The adware knows what you like, because it is constantly spying on you. The malicious application tracks your every move. What websites you visit, what you are searching for. And if you are not careful enough, it can steal your user names and passwords.

The Xpp.dipolesfawned.com adware is constantly collecting data about you. Once the program has enough data, it will send it to its owners. And they can do whatever they want with that information. They can sell it to third parties or use it to generate traffic to specific websites and gain money via pay-per-click marketing. All big search engines use such mechanisms, what is different in this case is that Xpp.dipolesfawned.com does not mark the paid entries as such. Among all search results, Xpp.dipolesfawned.com displays some “fake” entries. Those are all ads leading to all kinds of questionable websites.

The Xpp.dipolesfawned.com’s ads can be very annoying. The longer this adware stays on your computer, the more ads you will see. All kinds of pop-up ads will appear all over your screen. The developers use this strategy to trick you into clicking on some of those commercials. The more ads you click on, the more money they will make. Don’t become their sponsor. Delete this adware immediately. Furthermore, if those ads are malicious, you may infect your computer with some dangerous virus, like ransomware.
