How many more ways can cyber criminals get you to part with your money?
The internet is big business – that doesn't come as much of a surprise – but what you may not realize is that cyber crime is constantly evolving and the ways and means which cyber criminals are employing to unleash carnage on our computers and defraud us of our hard earned cash is in perpetual motion as the industry fights to stay one step ahead of the reactive security tools and anti-viruses that are doing their best to keep up with them.
It is certainly true that malware comes in many shapes and sizes, whether a programmer is corrupting your data for "fun" or installing something known as a keystroke logger on your device so it can copy the information you input into your keyboard, and whether they are trying to hack your bank account or steal your identity, or simply employing underhand tactics to drive traffic and leads to their website, we are faced with no end of dangers and annoyances. All of which can have a real negative effect on your computer's performance.
As mentioned, here we are going to take a look at malware that displays "Ads by Not set" ads on your computer. And although this is often not considered to be as lethal as other types of malware, its habit of installing a component and tracking your web use (and thereby being able to send you those 'mind reading' adverts that are tailored to your interests) means that many people take umbrage to its existence on their computer and just want to be able to remove it.
