By doing this you invite more and more advertising software into your system. From fraudsters' point of view this method is too effective to be true. Search.heasyconverter.co just shows plenty of pop-ups, links, banners and ads, and as they crop up right in front of customer's eyes, he wants to fold them. Needless to mention that these ads are not for folding. They do not support the “hide” key, so any click opens a new tab or a separate window with a viral webpage.

That’s the way you get more and more viruses until Search.heasyconverter.co works in the system.

 

 

 

To understand how the machine goes overwhelmed with malicious programs user has to figure out how adware penetrates the device. The word is the affiliate download.
