Videosp.pro Ads

What is videosp[.]pro?

videosp[.]pro is yet another dubious website designed to cause unwanted redirects and deliver dubious content. It is virtually identical to armuchteetthat[.]info, newschanel[.]biz, peegh1o[.]com, and dozens of other rogue sites.

Research shows that many visitors arrive at videosp[.]pro inadvertently, as they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements delivered by other rogue sites. PUAs usually infiltrate computers without permission and, as well as causing redirects, deliver intrusive advertisements and monitor web browsing activity.

Potentially unwanted applications force-open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users to videosp[.]pro. This website checks the visitor's IP address to determine the geolocation. This is to ascertain whether the user should be presented with certain content or redirected even further. In any case, users might encounter malicious content.

Therefore, redirects to and from videosp[.]pro can lead to various system infections. Additionally, unwanted apps deliver intrusive advertisements, which could also redirect to malicious sites and execute scripts designed to download/install unwanted (potentially malicious) applications. Therefore, clicking them might result in various system infections.

PUAs deliver ads using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, they often conceal underlying content, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience. Another significant downside is information tracking.

Potentially unwanted applications continually record IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other similar information relating to browsing activity. Collected data usually includes personal details that developers share with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who generate revenue by misusing private information.

Therefore, data tracking can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. We strongly recommend that you uninstall all potentially unwanted applications immediately.

There are hundreds of potentially unwanted applications online, all of which are very similar. By offering "useful features", PUAs attempt to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install, however, they are designed only to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than giving any real value for regular users, PUAs deliver intrusive advertisements, cause unwanted redirects, and gather personal information.

How did adware install on my computer?

Some PUAs are free for anyone to download on their official websites, however, most are proliferated using intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" (stealth installation of third party apps together with regular software).

Developers hide "bundled" apps behind "Custom/Advanced" settings or other sections of the download/installation processes. In addition, many users often rush these procedures and skip steps. They are also likely to click advertisements without understanding the possible consequences. This behavior often leads to inadvertent installation of third party applications.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

The main reasons for computer infections are poor knowledge of these threats and careless behavior. Caution is the key to safety. Therefore, pay close attention when browsing the Internet and downloading/installing software. Be aware that intrusive advertisements usually seem legitimate.

Once clicked, however, they redirect to dubious websites (gambling, adult dating, pornography, and similar). If you encounter these ads/redirects, remove all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins immediately. Furthermore, carefully analyze each download/installation step using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings.

Opt-out of additionally-included apps and decline offers to download/install them. You are advised to download your software from official sources, using direct download links. Third party downloaders/installers often include rogue apps, and thus such tools should never be used.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
