Mail.ru is an advertising program that was developed to earn money for web-scammers and inconvenience - to other users. There are plenty of opportunities for suchlike program to get into the system, but the best of them is bundled installation. This way is so perfect because web-criminals don't have to risk. Users willingly download a virus and become acquainted with all its functions. To make things work, swindlers need to upload the viral bundle on few most visited torrent trackers. Let's describe this system step by step. Firstly, swindlers need a suitable software to create a bundle and name it by its name. This software needs to be effective and toll-free. It could just be a cracked copy of the paid software. Fraudsters add 3-4 viruses to the package and make that the resulting file can’t be revised. The only available procedure is the installation. Actually it's a pure fraud, since hackers tell you that you will get a decent program and you get adware in addition. If you don't remember that you downloaded Mail.ru, but remember that you downloaded other unpaid utilities - probably Mail.ru has entered your computer through this method.
After entering the machine, adware begins to change the browser settings, trying to provide advertising most efficiently. Such alterations involve the built-in browser pop-ups such as warnings about harmful substance of the website. Also, adware often switches the default search provider and new tab pages to suspicious website. After that, Mail.ru appends some lines to registry that are responsible for reinstallation of adware in case of removal. According to these measures, Mail.ru defends itself from elimination, and continues to display ads even if victim resets the browser settings. After accomplishing this, Mail.ru keeps on showing ads. Now you know for sure that none of the adware's functions is intended to be helpful. The only thing swindlers care about is money, so they'll generate ads until you remove Mail.ru.
