If you spend any time at all on the internet, you know how annoying the endless barrage of pop-up ads and banners can be.

Although most of these are legit advertisements, there are quite a few disguised as such but hiding wolves underneath.

These are the hook banners seeking to get your clicks and internet usage patterns for their tricky ways.

This stuff is vile internet spy and adware at its worst.

Sometimes these dastardly predators are very difficult to remove once attached.

Spyware and adware removal programs are hot-selling products keeping many internet users safe from these little bad guys.

Be aware. Don’t get hooked.
