And also, besides unwanted Videocontentsol.ru pop-ups from the unknown source, you can simultaneously see a lot of ads, including ones on the pages which at first have no ads whatsoever. Such a situation can be the proof of adware existence.
Adware is the kind of malware which infiltrates into your PC, after that starts demonstrating to you numerous ads. Their material , in most cases, has no connection with your normal search questions. Besides banner promotions, your web browser can also display you a massive quantity of different Videocontentsol.ru pop-up promotions, which appear in the bottom right area.
The model of adware use is very sly. The large pack of adware is distributed through trojan viruses, which are injected in your system earlier. Advertisements, which are demonstrated to you by malicious program, are paid by their creators. In several weeks, all anti-malware programs began to block these adware, therefore, trojan loses in profitability.

Even if there is no active ransomware distribution, your desktop can still be influenced by adware virus. A massive amount of ads together with Videocontentsol.ru pop-ups can make your PC as slow-moving as snail, so your typical work will certainly be impossible to execute in common way.
