About Holiday Sale adware

It works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common websites, including Google Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer or Mozilla. Once inside of your system Holiday Sale will flood all those web browsers with 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 advertisements displayed by Holiday Sale appear when you are visiting e-commerce website, such as eBay or Amazon. You will be offered to purchase some particular goods or services 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 do not recommend to do that.

However, if it happens so that you click on the advertisement displayed by Holiday Sale 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 this way.

It is not very difficult to tell if your computer is infected with Holiday Sale adware because ads displayed by this malware usually are labeled with a slogan “Ads by Holiday Sale” or “Brought to you by Holiday Sale”. So if you have noticed this occurrence on any of your web browsers, your computer is definitely infected and you should take care of that.

Holiday Sale is distributed 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 download and recklessly install some free software, there is a chance that Holiday Sale will come bundled to it.
