Ads aren’t just annoying, they can also be dangerous
You might not think much about those annoying online ads, but they are often far more malicious than you might think. This is because they often contain harmful intent, such as copying or stealing your data for personal gain of the one who made the advert. A lot of ads now aim to steal your data because it’s easy to collect and is worth a lot of money to advertisers.

Reports have found that internet users can even contract viruses and malware just by clicking on adverts on unprotected computers, and they’re often disguised so well that even antivirus and anti-malware programs cannot actually detect them. This raises huge safety concerns for internet browsers, hence why it’s important to learn more about how ads work, their dangers and also how to block ads like a pro.

Ads don’t just affect computers, but mobile devices as well
Whether it’s an annoying ad on your favourite app or autoplaying videos that are just distracting you all the time, ads can affect even our mobile devices which are sadly even more susceptible to spyware, malware and viruses. This is because people usually use some form of protection on their desktop PC or laptop running Windows, but they won’t use similar security programs on their mobile devices, resulting in more security vulnerabilities.

But it’s not just dangerous, it’s also a huge nuisance and could reduce the lifetime on your phone. Ads can often autoplay videos and lurk in the background of your devices, stealing your information and recording data from how you use your phone. This results in more battery usage, more data usage and eventually wears out your phone faster. If you’ve ever noticed that your phone is noticeably slower after a few months, then it’s likely because there are lots of malicious files on your device which are caused by problematic ads.
