Adware

xxxVido is an adware-type infection that bombards users' browsers with intrusive advertisements, therefore, spoiling the entire experience. Most users encounter with these kinds of infiltrations inadvertently. Once installed, xxxVido vigorously modifies the browser settings that cannot be rolled back. These changes commonly lead to the endless appearance of malicious ads hovering on any pages you visit. Such ads can potentially contain suspicious redirects to adult-based websites broadcasting pornography content. On top of that, after infecting your system with adware, extortionists can easily track the whole spectrum of information like passwords, geolocations, IP-addresses, browsing history and other sorts that can be traded to third-parties for monetary means.

Fuq.com is a malicious redirect classified as a browser hijacker that aggressively transmits people to adult-based pages. It has been spotted targetting solely Mac users, however, there are various similar pieces that pursue other operating systems either. The very first symptom that may hint on the presence of some Unwanted Application installed on your computer is unexpected browser changes that alter default homepage to http:/www.fuq.com and internal settings as a result. Fuq.com is designed to promote porn content which is a crafty way to tantalize and curb gullible users. However, these redirects lead to tremendous information leaks like passwords, credentials, IP-addresses, geolocations and other data that can be transferred to third-parties for enriching their wallets. These nasty extortionists are capable of tracking down browsing activity, therefore, putting your data under a huge risk.

Myloginhelper.com, developed by Eightpoint Technologies is an intrusive redirect classified as a browser hijacker. It is accompanied by a browser extension called My Login Helper (alternatively My Login Hub). Myloginhelper.com can be caused either by clicking on suspicious advertisements or due to Potentially Unwanted Applications like adware that can be lurking on your system. On the one hand, Myloginhelper.com provides a wide range of helpful features like fast access to mail services and popular websites. However, on the other hand, under the veil of usefulness, Myloginhelper.com can also promote additional add-ons, new tabs and malicious ads alongside browsing. Once installed on your PC, this type of extension will alter browser settings for fraudulent means, therefore, adding a minimalistic homepage and changing the standard search engine to search.hmyloginhelper.com or hp.hmyloginhub.co, that are ostensibly meant to improve browsing. In fact, all of these features are just visual and do not ensure more convenient usability. Instead, they allow extortionists to garner personal data such as passwords, credentials and other browser-related information.

A.akamaihd.net is a group of fabricated searching domains classified as browser hijackers, that are ostensibly meant to provide more relevant searching results. It also may be presented as pop-ups and redirects, showing up randomly while browsing. A.akamaihd.net serves as a suffix to fake domains that may look like these: lkysearchex11322-a.akamaihd.net, lkysearchds-1657.a.akamaihd.net, searchinterneat-a.akamaihd.net, default21076355-a.akamaihd.net and so forth. On top of that, A.akamaihd.net is not an independent piece meaning, that it cannot work without an adware application installed on your computer. If so, the app will, therefore, alter the browser settings without the user's permission and assign custom "searchinterneat-a.akamaihd.net" domain as a default search engine. The adware has been seen targetting Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Edge and Internet Explorer browsers, therefore, covering a wide range of people. Note that the searching queries will be redirected to a legitimate Yahoo search engine. Whilst these changes may seem insignificant, keep in mind that such applications can track user's data like browsing history, passwords, URLs, contacts, or even IP-Addresses.

Web Bar is a tricky mixture of both adware and toolbar that is capable of collecting personal data and promoting additional malware infections. Designed by Web Bar Media, it is a legitimately-looking application that is meant to aid instant access to browsers from the desktop, improve searching results and, most importantly, automatically eliminate clutter (cash & other unnecessary data) that will boost up the browsing experience. However, as mentioned above, Web Bar is an adware-type application that broadcasts deceptive advertisements appearing in the right corner of the screen and intentionally forcing users into clicking on them. This action, therefore, may cause redirects to suspicious websites that can spread malicious content. Besides that, it alters browser interface ostensibly providing more convenient homepage and enhanced searching algorithms. Although, a recent investigation showed that Web Bar is able to gather personal data like passwords, browsing history and other user-based information that can be ultimately transferred to third-parties for revenue goals.

MyCouponSmart is browser adware that is meant to save money while online shopping via discount coupons. It provides a wide database of different coupons that can be applied to various shopping platforms like Amazon, Aliexpress and so forth. While its main purpose comes down to making online shopping better, the actual activity contradicts this promise largely. When installed on a computer, it literally subjugates browsers like Safari, Chrome and other Mac-supported browsers to serve advertisements that disrupt the browsing. On top of that, the app gets deeply entrenched into the device to prevent users from manual removal. Besides altering the browser interface, it also changes the settings so that users could not reset them. Ads promoted by MyCouponSmart can come in various forms and shapes. Spanning from typical advertisements to obtrusive pop-ups. One of the biggest jeopardy that users might not be aware of is data tracking. Alongside "useful tools" it stealthily tracks and gathers the information that is accumulated whilst browsing (passwords, browsing history, etc.) and therefore delivered to third-parties for revenue purposes.

Nutaka.com is another malicious domain, that is known to be forcibly redirecting users to intrusive and harmful pages. Being classified as adware it is capable of disturbing browsing activity by constantly relocating users to suspicious resources, that promote potentially dangerous advertisements and other social-engineering tricks. Unfortunately, most people do not think it is dangerous, therefore, not paying any caution to its presence. However, this kind of software can potentially create a threat to your privacy and other precious data. This means that once it is installed on your computer, virus developers can get full access to your personal data like passwords, browsing history, and other valuable information that can be utilized badly by third-parties. When installed on your computer, it can cause other symptoms like advertising banners injected with the web pages, infectious hyperlinks and fake updates masked under pop-ups. Being surrounded by this content while surfing may inflict your device with other adware or even more dangerous pieces.

Unfortunately, YouTube does not have a feature of downloading videos directly to your computer. However, there are lots of independent services that allow doing so by pasting video URLs and downloading them for free. And Ytmp3.cc is one of those. But, because these services are usually not legitimate, they can display unwanted ads and redirect to other suspicious websites used to spread malicious content for revenue purposes. Of course, naive users are happy to use Ytmp3.cc regardless of intrusive redirects. However, this careless behavior often leads to adware infection that therefore shows malicious advertisements on the desktop. This type of infection can gather personal data and transmit it over to third parties without the user's consent. This is why we have prepared a guide on how to secure yourself from these tricks and remove Ytmp3.cc from your computer.
