Ever had Enter Digital adware on your PC? No doubt you'll be echoing my sentiments when I say that this truly is a scourge of the Internet. This adware is irritating! Whilst banner adverts or advert boxes or links might be slightly sier to ignore, if you've ever been bombarded with pop-up or pop-under I'm sure that like me you're not adware's biggest fan. Being infected with Enter Digital mns endless clicking to close advert , only to have them pop straight back up again seconds later.
Ad by Enter Digital adware displayed at the bottom left corner of the screenBut not only can Enter Digital be a nuisance but there is something a little creepy about the fact that the adverts it displays on your screen somehow uncannily match the products or topics that you've recently been looking at or rding about. Coincidence? Not at all.
How does it know what I've been browsing?
Adware – Advertising-Supported Software – normally comes bundled with another software program. Enter Digital is no exception. This might be a free download or it could be something you've paid for. When you download the original program you are interested in, it snks onto your computer alongside it and installs a component on your PC. This component is a tracker which monitors which websites you visit, records this info and sends it back to the software developer. This then allows them to decide which adverts they want you to see.
A pretty aggressive form of marketing, to be sure, but if you're somewhat immune to advertising, even if you do find the constant strm of adverts annoying, there are a of not so grt knock on effects. Because this component is now hard at work constantly monitoring and recording data whenever you're online, it can rlly slow down your PC's and affect the CPU's performance. It can also slow your Internet connection down and may even cause your computer to keep crashing.
