There have been several reports, regarding a Potentially Unwanted Program, called EmailDescontos. It is believed to be an adware program that may most often be installed via third-party software and could display annoying advertisements that interrupt the browsing experience.
EmailDescontos – How Does It Work?
This software usually may be installed on your PC as a result of negligence when setting up software that you downloaded from unknown sites. If the software is installed on the computer, it may begin to display interruptive advertisements with text such as ‘Ads By EmailDescontos’ or something similar indicating that this software is the provider. Usually the content such adware providers may redirect to any websites that may or may not pose particular risks for you, such as:
- They may prompt you to download .exe setup files to perform a non-existent upgrade.
- Redirect you to sites that may situate tracking cookies on your computer that could aggregate your personal information and possibly distribute it.
- Display a fake problem with your computer (‘Your PC is full’, ‘Threat detected’) along with a tech support phone number that could be false and very expensive per minute.
- Transfer to websites that may display surveys, non-existent coupon claiming, fake prize registration, suspicious green card requesting and other information gathering instruments that prompt you to enter your financial and personal information
