Trying.com POP-UP Redirect
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is trying.com?
trying.com is one of many rogue websites (such as inewsupdate.info, trixtraff.com, secure-cloud.pro, etc.) designed to redirect visitors to other untrustworthy sites. Most users end up visiting trying.com inadvertently - they are redirected to it by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that are installed without users' consent. Furthermore, PUAs deliver intrusive ads and collect information.
Once a PUA is installed, it forces browsers to open new tabs/windows and redirects users to the trying.in rogue website, which then causes additional (usually 2-3) redirects to other untrustworthy (potentially malicious) sites. There is a high probability that at least one of these websites will be malicious and cause high-risk computer infections.
Most PUAs deliver advertisements (in the form of pop-ups, surveys, banners, coupons, etc.) that are typically displayed using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site and conceal underlying content.
Clicking them can result in redirects to untrustworthy websites or even execution of scripts designed to download and install potentially unwanted applications. Furthermore, PUAs collect data that typically includes IP addresses, keystrokes, visited websites, geo-locations, search queries, and so on.
The details might also include personal or sensitive information. PUA developers share these details with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) to generate revenue.
Sharing collected data (especially if it contains some personally identifiable or other sensitive information) can result in privacy issues or even identity theft. Therefore, we recommend that you uninstall all PUAs immediately.
| Name | trying.com pop-up |
| Threat Type | Adware, Unwanted ads, Pop-up Virus |

The Internet is full of rogue applications of this type, all of which are identical (or very similar). Most PUAs are promoted by offering "useful" tools, features, etc., however, they are used to generate revenue for their developers and, in most cases, deliver no real value for regular users. On the contrary, most cause unwanted redirects, deploy ads, and gather information.
How did adware install on my computer?
Many potentially unwanted applications have official download websites, however, they are more commonly installed through certain advertisements or using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". Bundling is stealth installation of third potentially unwanted applications together with regular software that users download from the Internet.
Research shows that most potentially unwanted applications are installed without users' consent. Software developers hide them in "Custom", "Advanced", and other similar settings/options of the installation processes and often do not disclose these installations properly.
Furthermore, many users skip installation steps without checking the options/settings, or click tempting advertisements that redirect them to unwanted websites. This careless behaviour can lead to inadvertent installation of potentially unwanted applications and also put users at risk of computer infections and privacy issues.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Avoid using third party software downloaders and torrents, download software using official and trustworthy sources. Pay attention to details when installing software - do not skip installation steps and check all available "Custom", "Advanced", and other similar options. Deselect all additionally-included programs, applications, tools, features, and so on.
Be cautious when browsing the web and avoid clicking ads, especially when visiting dubious sites. If you are redirected to gambling, pornography, adult dating, and other similar websites after clicking an ad, immediately close the site and check installed plug-ins, extensions, and add-ons on your browser.
Also ensure that there are no unknown or unwanted programs installed on your computer. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
