SiteAdware
Updated on Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

SiteAdware is just another malware that makes its way to your system through codec, free antivirus, system tool, or patch downloads. That’s right, SiteAdware makes use of good-for-nothing trojans. So if you’re one of those people who frequently scours the web for freebies, beware – you’re very vulnerable to vile malwares like SiteAdware.

So, what does this malware do once inside? Many, actually. But here’s one of its most interesting qualities: it creates fictitious files in windows system folders then informs you about the files through popups. The popups typically warn you of the dangers these files may pose. Actually, the files themselves are pretty harmless.

Does that mean you’ve got nothing to fear? Well, it does slow your system and alters your Windows registry. Not to mention that it will keep on bugging you with all those popups. What’s most interesting is that its popups entice you to purchase a so-called registered version of SiteAdware, claiming that this program is your only way of eliminating the nuisance mentioned earlier.

That basically means you’ll need to purchase the program. It’s a good thing you learned about this now, eh? Otherwise, you would have purchased a product that doesn’t help at all.

Symptoms Of Infection

• Your computer is acting slow. SiteAdware slow down your system significantly. This includes starting up, shutting down, playing games, and surfing the web.

• You are getting pestered with pop ups. SiteAdware infects your registry and uses it to launch annoying pop up ads out of nowhere.

• Searches are redirected or your homepage and desktop are settings are changed. This is a symptom of a very serious SiteAdware infection.

Dangers Of Infection

Viruses like SiteAdware will infect your registry and other important system files. If the infection is not treated it can cause a complete collapse of your system.

Some SiteAdware infections contain spyware and keyloggers which can be used to record sensitive data like passwords, credit card, bank account, and social security numbers. The longer you allow the infection to fester, the greater the chance of identity fraud.
