Each pop-up by this adware has a link to some website so once you click on the message you end up visiting that page. The data about your browsing activities can be useful for other marketing related purposes in the future.

Actually, it is a very common technique employed by many adware infections, such as Ads by MegaOffers, Addonjet or OffersDirect. They all pretend to be useful tools that will provide discount offers and coupons, but in reality, they only seek to make money by displaying various advertisements.

Ads by Offers4U

Usually, advertisements delivered by this adware virus appear when you are paying a visit to e-commerce websites, 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 this 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.

They are categorized as scam and it is a common technique used by various cyber criminals. Since scammy advertisements can’t be displayed on genuine advertising networks like Google Adwords or Facebook advertisements, crooks take advantage of adware networks like this one and deliver their messages anyway.

If it happens so that you click on the ad delivered by Offers4U you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cybercriminals, 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 of the virus

Offers4U is installed to computers together with freeware from the Internet. It can be bundled to free video players, PDF creators, etc. and installed on your computer without your consent. To prevent installation of such programs, make sure you always choose a custom installation. Look for pre-checked boxes and do not allow to install any unfamiliar programs without your confirmation.

Also, this virus can be infiltrated by other viruses. So if you haven’t downloaded anything to your computer lately and Offers4U just appeared on out of nowhere, it might be a signal that your computer is infected with other viruses and you should take care of that too.
