This program has been developed by cyber-criminals interested in making money through you. Ads shown by Dig Deep can be seen everywhere, either inserted into the content of every website you visit regularly (as pop-ups, banners, underlined words, etc…) or as new tabs and windows that are opened up unexpectedly whenever you click your mouse, although sometimes no action is required on your part.
We usually notice we have been infected by Dig Deep when we start seeing ads tagged as Ads by Dig Deep or Dig Deep Ads.
