We know it’s frustrating and if you are reading our article then it’s likely that you want them removed. Our removal guide will help you with that task, but the rest of this article is just as important. We’ll discuss how these Ads by Cut The Price works and also the methods it might have used to get in. Knowing these thing it should be much easier for you to spot and deny access to any Adwares in the future, as these viruses generally follow the same modus operandi.

Nothing good will ever come from clicking on the Ads

Closing (or just ignoring) the Ads quickly becomes tedious, but as long as you do nothing more then that you will minimize further damage. Clicking on the ads or worst-case scenario installing anything offered by them can quickly and in catastrophic results.

REMEMBER that all Ads are fraudulent. No matter how convincing they look, how tempting their offers are everything is fake. Virus makes will use every trick in the book to make them look real. Sometimes the Ads will even lead to sites which look exactly the same as the real seller of an item, but is actually a copy. It’s possible that even the internet domain name is nearly the same – perhaps with a hidden symbol or number that can be noticed only if one watches carefully for it. Any money you spend will be thrown away, any file downloaded a virus. Never trust Ads by Cut The Price or its other Adware buddies!

Ads can take many shapes in their effort to trick you into believing them

Years of TV commercials have left many of us fairly resistant to advertisement. For this reason virus makers use other tricks. Usually you will get some sort of warning message about an existing problem with your computer, followed by a “free” solution for it – a file that contains a virus. The idea is to create a feeling of emergency to reduce our ability to think rationally. Below is a short and non-exhaustive list of items you might see as part of this scheme:

• A banner informing you that a missing plug-in is required, otherwise your computer might not show videos or other media. There is a rare and very obnoxious version of this that will create pop-ups over all media player windows, rendering them nonoperational and creating the illusion that there really is a problem.
• A warning that an online scanner has detected a large number of viruses on your computer. You are advised to download and run it so it can clean them.
• A pop-up that says that one of your programs is outdated and has to be updated.

Remember that these are not exclusive to Ads by Cut The Price. Whenever you see similar messages beware!
