Usarewardspot.com is a malicious page. If you see in on your screen every time you so much as touch one of your browsers, you are in trouble. The site is only there because of an adware infection. Yes, you have an adware on board and the sooner you take measures against it, the better. Adware pests do not make for pleasant companions. On the contrary.

The nasty adware forces the Usarewardspot.com site on you non-stop. As we said, this page is not reliable. It is a scam which is trying to lure victims into revealing sensitive information. The page shows you various surveys and states that if you complete them, you will be rewarded. If you do, however, you do not get a reward. Instead, you are asked to reveal personally identifiable information. Do not do that under any circumstances.
The truth is that the hackers behind this adware are after your money and they are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. If you give away your personal details, they may try to blackmail you. They may use it for their malicious purposes. They may dry your bank account. One thing is sure, though. Whatever the outcome is, you will not like it.

Needless to say, these shenanigans don`t go unnoticed by your machine. It also suffers. It stars to underperform and lag often. It also crashed and freezes occasionally.

How did the adware enter your PC? Do you often download free programs off of the web? If yes, do you opt for the Custom or for the Standard settings in the Setup Wizard? If your answer is the Standard, change your habits. Crooks often attach malware to other programs on the web. Then, when you install these programs, you install the malware as well. At least, if you go with the Standard options.
If you choose the Custom ones, you will be able to see all additionally attached apps to the bundle as well as remove it before pressing the “finish” button. Deselect all extras as they are usually malicious. If you truly needed them, you would have downloaded them yourself by now!
