About this infection

DREAMCOMPRESS is an adware infection which could have gotten into your computer via freeware bundles. This method is popular among unwanted program developers because it takes advantage of user carelessness. And users are known to be careless. Adware is attached to free programs as an extra offer, and while it’s optional, if you don’t deselect it, it will be allowed to install.

DREAMCOMPRESSThis is why many users end up with all kinds of unwanted programs all the time. It’s not malicious by itself so no need to worry about it harming your computer but adware generated ads will not always be safe. And in case you haven’t noticed yet, what adware does is it generates ads to show the user, which earns revenue. The ads range from banners to pop-ups, and can advertise all kinds of things. It’s not recommended to interact with them simply because those ads are not reliable. They could expose you to unsafe content, and that could lead to a serious malware infection. The good thing about adware is that it’s easy to notice. Thus you can delete DREAMCOMPRESS as soon as it manages to install.

How to avoid adware infections

Like we said before, adware is attached to freeware as an extra offer, and if you want to prevent it from installing, you need to deselect it. To do this, pay attention to how you install programs. Read the text and make sure you always choose Advanced or Custom settings. They will make added offers visible, and allow you to deselect them. Opt out of using Default settings whenever possible as they will not show anything, and are likely the reason why you have adware in the first place. While those added offers will not bring about serious malware infections, it’s still better to avoid them as much as possible.

Why uninstall DREAMCOMPRESS?

The adware will attach itself to all popular browsers you have installed, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, so it does not really matter which browser you may be using. You will start seeing advertisements, they may appear in banner form or show up as pop-ups. Whatever they advertise, however, we don’t recommended interacting with. They could be promoting some kind of software or asking you to participate in a survey. In the case of the former, we warn you to never download anything from unreliable sources, such as pop-ups. If you are in need of a program, use official stores/sites. Otherwise, you could end up downloading malware. If you are asked to participate in survey, it’s likely a scam trying to get your personal information. You would be promised a prize but it’s all a trick. Never give away your personal data to dubious parties on the Internet, because it will be used against you. Adware will collect certain kind of data about you, mainly what kinds of ads you would be more likely to press on. The longer the adware remains installed, the more relevant the ads will become. If you are seeing a huge amount of them, you browser might also slow down due to the strain. There is no reason why you should put up with all of this, so just get rid of the adware.
