If you find Pass to Post on your computer, it may be a clear sign that your system has been penetrated by an adware program. Our malware researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com say that this ad-supported program is quite disruptive with regard to your web-surfing experience, but it can also pose a threat to your virtual security. In fact, this application does not really do anything but displaying potentially dangerous third-party ads (pop-ups and best offers). Clicking on these is quite risky because you can never be sure where you may end up. Although many users simply close these ads or try to ignore them, you need to understand that these “tricks” will not stop the flow of unsafe ads on your screen. It is possible that you accidentally click on one, but there will be no way back. Online scams usually start with an “innocent” click like that. Keep that in mind when you decide on the fate of this useless program. We definitely recommend that you delete Pass to Post immediately. Unfortunately, it is quite likely that this is not even the only malware threat on your computer. Read more »
