How did I get infected with?

Unfriend Watch turns to the usual antics so as to gain access to your computer. It relies on the old but gold means of infiltration, and prays on your distraction, naivety, and haste for easy passage. The tool fools you into approving it in, while, at the same time, it keeps you oblivious that you did. Oh, yes. Not only do you permit its installation, but you’re utterly unaware of the application’s presence until it decides otherwise. To dupe you into giving it the green light, Unfriend Watch usually hitches a ride with freeware. It’s possibly the easiest way to your system as most users tend to rush through its install process and don’t pay nearly as enough attention as they should. They don’t bother familiarizing themselves with the terms and conditions, but, instead, agree to all of them in haste. As they quickly discover, that’s not a good idea. It’s not even an okay one. It’s a horrendous one with horrible repercussions, but by the time these users realize that, the damage is already done. If you WISH to end up with adware such as Unfriend Watch, that’s one sure way to do so. If, however, that’s something you want to avoid, don’t rush and don’t throw caution to the wind. Try to remember that a little extra attention can go a long, long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Unfriend Watch doesn’t bombard you with so many pop-ups for kicks. Oh, no. There’s a reason behind the bombardment, and it’s that the tool is ad-supported. That means that if it’s to proceed with its existence, it’s required to generate pay-per-click revenue for the third parties behind it. Each ad it fools you into clicking on brings it one step closer to fulfilling its objective, and, thus, helps it live to see another day. Naturally, as each click counts, the application makes sure each ad counts, as well. It doesn’t just throw random ads your way, hoping for the best. It selects each and every ad it shows you. How? Well, before the bombardment begins, the program studies you. It monitors your browsing activities so as to understand what you like and what appeals to you. Then it picks the pop-ups that correspond to your unique preferences and floods you with them. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop at observing you. The tool catalogs every move you make online, and after it determines it has collected a sufficient amount of information from you, sends it to the people that support it. After these unknown individuals have it, they’re free to use it as they see fit, and you can’t stop them. Does that sound like a risk you’re willing to take? Are you ready to gamble with your personal and financial details for such a useless, damaging application? Are you okay with strangers having access to your sensitive data? Think long and hard before you reach a decision.
