WebSpades ads

WebSpades adware most often comes bundled with other free programs downloaded by users from various online resources. The problem is that users don’t often pay attention as to what else they are installing in addition to the main software of their selection. This is how they actually allow unwanted programs to enter their PCs.

WebSpades thus attacks mainly browsers like Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. You will see a special advertisement banner when you open sites like Walmart, Amazon, Ebay, etc. As soon as you look for some item sold there, you will see this banner to appear. It will display similar items, and when you click them you will be redirected through ws.pricedetect.com websites that will give you some deals and offers associated to WebSpades adware.
