Videos.qeqei.com Pop-up

What is videos.qeqei.com?

videos.qeqei.com is a deceptive website claiming to be a legitimate Internet search engine. Be aware that after infiltration of the associated application on computer systems, this website generates various pop-up messages. Furthermore, it records various user/system information.

All of this is performed without users' consent. Therefore, it is classed as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware.

Following infiltration, this dubious app generates various pop-ups that contain intrusive online advertisements. These not only conceal visited website content, thereby significantly diminishing the web browsing experience, but might also redirect to malicious websites. These sites often contain infectious content.

Thus, even accidental clicks can result in high-risk adware or malware infections. Furthermore, videos.qeqei.com records various information such as IP addresses, search queries, and users' email addresses.

This data might contain private details that the developers of videos.qeqei.com share with cooperating third party companies (who misuse personally identifiable information to generate revenue). Therefore, tracking of web browsing activity can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft.

If you continually encounter random pop-ups and observe videos.qeqei.com set as your default search engine or homepage, uninstall all recently-installed applications and never visit this site again.

There are hundreds of very similar adware-type programs such as Classic For Facebook, Music Player, ArcadeLoot, etc. 

All give fake promises to enable a number of 'valuable functions', however, rather than providing any real value, potentially unwanted programs deliver various intrusive online advertisements and collect personally identifiable information. These apps are designed only to generate revenue for the developers.

How did videos.qeqei.com install on my computer?

videos.qeqei.com promote its application using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' - stealth installation of PUPs with regular software. Developers hide all potentially unwanted programs within the 'Custom/Advanced' settings of the download/installation section, since they know that many users do not pay enough attention during these phases.

Skipping this section often leads to inadvertent installation of PUPs. In doing so, users expose their systems to risk of further computer infections and threaten their privacy. Developers' revenue is dependent on the number of applications distributed and, thus, these installations are never never properly disclosed.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Installation of potentially unwanted programs can be prevented by taking two simple steps. Firstly, closely analyze each step of the download/installation processes. Select the 'Custom/Advanced' settings and carefully observe the whole procedure. Secondly, opt-out of all additionally-included programs and never accept offers to download or install them.
