About Yelloader adware

Yelloader is a typical adware infection. The main goal of this virus is to display advertisements while you are browsing the Internet and make money this way. So if your computer is infected with Yelloader, ads in all kinds of forms will flood your web browsers. Those advertisements by Yelloader can be displayed as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner, contextual or in-text advertisements. New tab or even window with ads on it can be opened at any time as well.

Usually advertisements displayed by Yelloader appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon. You will be offered to purchase some particular goods at very appealing 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 it happens so that you click on the advertisement displayed by Yelloader you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be malicious. 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 Yelloader adware

Yelloader is distributed the same way as most of other malware of this type – bundled with various freeware that can be downloaded from the Internet. For instance, if you download and install some free downloads manager or media player, there is a chance that Yelloader will be downloaded and installed alongside without even warning you about that. That’s why you should pay close attention to the installation process of freeware and keep your computer secured with trustworthy anti-malware software all the time in order to avoid this happening.
