DigitalChallenge

DigitalChallenge is a new member in the Multiplug family of useless adware applications. This adware can be rather distracting with its pop-up ads and banner ads, but that is not all. In fact, that is the least of your problems if your computer is infected with DigitalChallenge. Clicking on the ads displayed by this adware application is like walking on thin ice over a very deep lake – you can never know if your next step is safe and, when the ice breaks, how deep you will sink. Ending up on unsafe websites has its own tolls. Understanding these risks can help you handle the situation. Not acting in time may multiply your problems. Delete DigitalChallenge as soon as possible to restore your virtual security.

This adware most commonly enters computers in third-party installers. These are not without danger though. If you download one from an unreliable freeware hosting website, there is a good chance that the installer will be infected with malware. Installing such a bundle can pose a serious threat to your operating system. It is enough to click on a fake download button or a third-party ad on such a website, and there you go -- your computer is under attack from multiple sources. These infections are mostly conspicuous because they affect your browsers, including your home page and search engine, or you simply start seeing lots of advertisements popping up all over your screen. If you have noticed such behavior, it is important that you remove DigitalChallenge and check your system for other threats. You can use, for example, a reliable online scanner to do that.

DigitalChallenge is an ad-supported program that makes money for the developers by showing you third-party advertisements and generating traffic to the affiliated websites once you decide to click on the ads. Of course, the chance of your clicking on one of the ads can be increased, too. How? This adware may collect information about your surfing activities, including the products you are interested in, ads you tend to click on, and even your locality. Using this information, customized ads can be sent to your computer screen. It is pure psychology. If you see an ad that offers you a best deal on a product that you have actually been searching for lately, would you be able to resist temptation or would you click right away out of reflex? Guess what happens if you click on an ad that takes you to a malicious website. That is how a lot of people infect their system with more malware programs or get fooled by criminals.

It is certainly best to delete DigitalChallenge and all other related threats from your computer in order to restore order. If you would like to take care of this adware manually, you can use our instructions below this article. Keep in mind that when it comes to adware, it is quite likely that there are other infections too that come on-board with it. Therefore, your computer will not be safe to use unless you get rid of all threats that may be present. That is why we recommend the use of a professional antimalware tool that will automatically detect and fix all your problems. If you keep this tool up-to-date, you will enjoy the great feeling that comes with being protected at all times.
