Feedmedia.me Ads

What is feedmedia[.]me?

feedmedia[.]me is a deceptive website that redirects visitors to other rogue sites and feeds them with dubious content. It shares many similarities with tontorcaltedron.info, torlock.com, fortorsarrabse.info, and many other sites.

Most visitors arrive at feedmedia[.]me inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) and intrusive advertisements displayed on other rogue sites. PUAs often infiltrate computers without users' direct permission. In addition to causing redirects, PUAs deliver intrusive advertisements and gather information relating to browsing habits.

PUAs force-open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users to feedmedia[.]me. Once opened, this site checks the visitor's IP address to determine the geolocation and ascertain whether the user should be redirected further or certain content should be displayed (note that feedmedia[.]me sometimes does both).

In any case, users might end up encountering malicious content (presented by other websites or feedmedia[.]me itself). Therefore, visiting this rogue site can lead to system infection. The same applies to clicking intrusive ads.

Potentially unwanted applications are known to deliver pop-up, coupon, banner, and other intrusive advertisements that often redirect to dubious websites and even run scripts designed to download/install other unwanted/potentially malicious apps. Furthermore, intrusive ads are delivered using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site.

Thus, ads often conceal underlying content, thereby diminishing the browsing experience. Another important issue is information tracking. Potentially unwanted applications are notorious for recording information such as IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, queries entered into search engines, etc.

The information often contains personal details that third parties misuse to generate revenue. Therefore, information tracking might lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to uninstall all potentially unwanted applications immediately.

The internet is full of PUAs, all of which have similar characteristics. By offering many "useful features", these applications attempt to give the impression of legitimacy, however, they have just one purpose: to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than delivering any real value for regular users, PUAs cause unwanted redirects, generate ads, and record user-system information, thereby diminishing the browsing experience, and posing a threat to your privacy/computer safety.

How did adware install on my computer?

Some potentially unwanted applications have official download/promotion websites, however, as mentioned above, they usually infiltrate computers without users' consent - PUAs are often proliferated using intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" (stealth installation of third party applications together with regular software).

Developers hide "bundled" applications behind "Custom/Advanced" settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes. Furthermore, many users often rush these procedures and skip steps. They are also likely to click advertisements without understanding the possible consequences. This behavior often results in inadvertent installation of PUAs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To prevent this situation, be very cautious when browsing the Internet and downloading/installing software. We strongly recommend that you download your apps from official sources only (preferably via direct download links) and avoid using third party downloaders/installers, since criminals often monetize them using the "bundling" method (promoting rogue apps).

Additionally, carefully analyze each step of the download/installation processes using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings. Opt-out of additionally-included applications and decline offers to download/install them. Intrusive advertisements typically seem legitimate. Once clicked, however, they redirect to dubious websites (gambling, adult dating, pornography, etc.).

If you encounter these ads/redirects, immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins. The key to computer safety is caution. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
