For anyone not sure what adware really is, take a look at the title. It's software with ads. Of course, it's the free software we all are stupid enough to download thinking nothing of it, and then we end up with pops all over the place and a computer so slow we just want to kick it. Virtumonde is the most dangerous.
Virtumonde is the equivalent of adware artificial intelligence - it knows when it's being threatened, and it can fix itself in order to prevent being uninstalled. Scary, no?
All adware has its inherent problems. We usually end up with all types of adware just by visiting certain website, clicking away, and downloading free stuff. Even though this might seem pretty safe, there's a reason you're getting something for free. It's even detailed in the user agreement you need to acknowledge before the download begins. Of course, the companies know no one reads these things so they are more than happy to divulge all this information.
You may see tons of pop ups and your computer might run slower. The major threat, however, is that this adware also includes spyware which, well, it spies on your computer habits. It tracks what you do and it can steal personal information all under the auspices of "making your browsing experience more personal".
Computer users all over have banded together to try to find fixes and talk about effective removal options.
Frustrated consumers have formed user groups and blogs to discuss alternatives but so far, no miraculous at home cures have been reported.
If you don't want to deal with adware, don't invite it in. Prevention is the real cure here. When you download something for free, you are definitely getting addons like adware and spyware. That's the only reason someone will give you a program for free. They make money selling these ads.
When you search for something on the internet, if you have adware installed, you will begin not only getting popups, you'll start getting emails. Junk mail talking about whatever you were looking for - digital cameras, dating sites, diapers on sale.
Find a removal tool that guarantees the removal of Virtumonde. That means it has the code necessary to find and remove the files needed for it to run. If this fails, have a computer geek check it out. It might take some reprogramming to get things back to normal. - 30432
