Users who notice that they are being redirected to advertisements delivered by Take-your-prizes-here.life frequently, may have an adware application lurking on their computers or devices. The site itself is part of an advertising service and website publishers can employ it as a way to generate revenue. Unfortunately, unscrupulous people can use adware applications to show unwanted advertisements to users.

In most cases, users may not even notice when an adware application is being installed on their computers. After all, these applications try to hide the fact that they are being delivered to the system specifically by employing deceptive distribution techniques. Some examples include bundling and fake software installers. The reliance on such questionable methods classified these applications as PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs).

While the annoying advertisements will be the most obvious consequence of the adware's activities, more worrisome actions may be performed in the background. PUPs are known for spying on the user's browsing activities, as well as harvesting numerous device details. The collected information could be transmitted to a remote server continuously.
