REWINUP Cinema Adware

What is REWINUP Cinema?

REWINUP Cinema is a deceptive application that supposedly allows users to watch various movies and television series - "WINUP Cinema is the best way to find and play your favorite movies and series." On initial inspection, this app might appear legitimate and useful, however, REWINUP Cinema is categorized as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

This is due to REWINUP Cinema's behavior, which includes stealth installation, tracking of Internet browsing activity, and display of intrusive online advertisements.

After infiltrating the system, this PUP employs a 'virtual layer' to generate pop-up, coupon, banner, and other similar intrusive ads. Be aware that none originate from your visited websites. By concealing underlying content, ads generated by REWINUP Cinema significantly diminish the Internet browsing experience.

Although most ads redirect to online stores or other e-commerce websites, users might also be redirected to malicious sites containing bogus content - clicking them is risky and can lead to further computer infections.

Users' Internet browsing activity is continually monitored, since REWINUP Cinema gathers various types of data that can be personally identifiable including IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries.

Some users believe this information is insignificant, and yet, it can contain personal details that are shared with third parties who will misuse it to generate revenue. Thus, having REWINUP Cinema installed might cause serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to uninstall this adware immediately.

REWINUP Cinema shares many similarities with hundreds of other-adware type programs including SkinnyPlayer, Loot Find, and toolCube.

All claim to enable functions that should improve the Internet browsing experience, however, apps such as REWINUP Cinema simply deliver intrusive online advertisements and collect personally identifiable information. These programs are designed to generate revenue for the developers and provide no significant value for users.

How did REWINUP Cinema install on my computer?

This adware is mostly proliferated as a 'bundle' with other (mostly free) applications. Many users do not express enough caution when downloading and installing software - for this reason, developers intentionally conceal potentially unwanted programs within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings.

Unaware of this, users often rush the download and installation processes and skip this section, leading to inadvertent installation of rogue applications such as REWINUP Cinema.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Installation of adware-type applications can be prevented by closely analyzing the download and installation processes. Select the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings, since bundled applications are often concealed. Skipping this section will prevent you from cancelling them. The key to computer safety is caution - only by paying close attention, will you be able to protect your computer.
