About AviaSales
AviaSales is described as a useful application that will help you to save your time and money when browsing the Internet. However, it sounds too good to be true. This malicious tool seeks to make money from users of infected computers. Once inside, this browser add-on will display advertisements in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, contextual and banner advertisements. It works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. We do not recommend to click on those advertisements displayed by AviaSales because by doing this you may have to deal with some unwanted consequences. They usually appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon and offer you to purchase some particular goods at a very appealing price rate. Don’t fall for that – it’s just a sweet trick to win your attention. If you do click on one of those advertisements, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by cyber criminals. This can result in your computer getting infected or in case you attempt to purchase something, you can even get scammed and lose your money.
The adware works as a middleman between you and sponsors of AviaSales that seek to promote their websites. It’s not a secret that those sponsors often happen to be various cyber criminals. Since they are banned from all valid advertising networks, they use adware like AviaSales to drive some traffic to their websites and infect computers or scam users. That’s why this application is extremely unwanted.
Another undesirable feature of AviaSales is data collection. Once installed, this adware will collect personal information about you, such as your browsing history, search queries, most visited sites, even your IP and email addresses. The third parties adjust those advertisements according to the collected data, so they look more relevant and attractive to you this way and chances that you will click on one of those advertisements rise. And that’s the main goal of AviaSales, because its owners get paid for every click you make.
Distribution Methods of AviaSales
AviaSales is travelling in a similar way as other adware – bundled with freebies. For instance, when you download and install some free application from an unreliable website, there is a chance that AviaSales will be installed alongside without you even being aware of that. This being said, you should be really attentive during the installation of freebies. Don’t skip any step and always opt out for a custom or advanced install mode. This will allow you to see all available options and make changes. Don’t rush, because some really important information can be displayed in a very tiny font and you don’t want to overlook that. In case it is too late and your computer is already infected, follow our step-by-step AviaSales removal instruction given below and solve this problem.
