Adware Tactics Leave Many Users Infected

Adware distributors stop at nothing to get you to download their programs. It’s not enough to avoid screensavers anymore. Google Adwords campaigns are being purchased by adware and malware distributors in an effort to get more users to download their infected products.

Don’t Rely On Google To Keep You Safe

The malware distributor purchases a sponsored ad on Google. (Yes, Google allows that.) The link may offer a free download to a known program. What visitors don’t know is that the “free program” is an infected copy of the program users think they’re downloading. The infected program then directs users to shady sites that warn users of malware infections, and the need to perform “security checks,” Doing so just invites more malware.

Google Adwords campaigns aren’t the only malware you can find. Corrupted WordPress installations mean that blogs you visit may also be infected and may redirect you to any number of sites where adware, spyware and malware are distributed and installed on your computer.

“Ad-supported software” – a euphemism for adware – is big business. Some distributors make a good living off of enticing people to download their adware. That being said, money is often the prime motivator for drawing unsuspecting visitors into malware-laden Web sites. When adware distributors pay for premium advertising placement on Google, and offer corrupted copies of known software programs to unsuspecting visitors, simply to get them to download adware, you have to know that this is big business.
