About 123Vidz adware

It works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or even Safari. That means Apple users can get infected as well.

As we have mentioned before, 123Vidz is listed as an adware, so once inside of your system it will display various ads in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with ads on it can be opened at any time as well.

Usually ads displayed by 123Vidz appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon. You will be offered to purchase some particular goods at very appealing price rate. Do not fall for that trick – most of the time those offers are fake, they are just trying to win your attention and make you click on one of those ads this way. And we suggest not to do that.

If you do click on the ad displayed by 123Vidz you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

Distribution Methods of 123Vidz adware

123Vidz is traveling the same way as most of other malware of this type – bundled with various freeware that can be downloaded from the Internet. So if you want to avoid infections like that, always pay close attention to the installation process of freeware.

Never skip any steps and opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. This way you will be able to see all available options and make needed changes. Do not rush because you can miss some very important information. Reading all terms and conditions would be considered wise as well. If during the installation you notice that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed on your computer – do not allow this installation to be completed because it can possibly be 123Vidz or any other adware.
