Are you facing a problem with your web-browser that constantly redirects to a suspicious web site called Getcaptcha21.com? Then, there are chances that your device is infected by adware (sometimes called ‘ad-supported’ software).

How can Adware be dangerous to you? Adware is short for ‘ad supported’ software. Adware displays unwanted advertisements that appear in unclosable windows or advertising links on the device screen. In order to display unwanted ads as often as possible adware can hijack your internet browser settings. You may even find that the system settings are changed without your conscious permission. The authors of adware do so in order to earn money via third-party ad network. Thus every your click on the ads earns money for them.

Adware is often harmless, but sometimes the adware you inadvertently download can also be spyware. Spyware can sometimes seek out your privacy data stored on the device, collect this information and use it to steal your identity.
