This error is displayed by malicious sites that users often visit inadvertently - they are redirected by intrusive advertisements (displayed by other dubious sites) or potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).

Research shows that PUPs infiltrate systems without permission and, as well as causing redirects, deliver intrusive ads, gather sensitive information, and run unwanted processes.

Similar to Coinhive, Crypto-Loot is a service that allows web developers to inject their sites with a script that employs visitors' computers to mine Monero cryptocurrency.

 The service itself is legitimate, however, some developers become greedy and abuse the Crypto-Loot service. They start mining without users' consent and do not limit the use of system resources - they use up to 100% of computer resources without permission.

What is the "Your Browser Has Been Blocked Based On Your Security Preferences" scam?

What is search.hyourtransitinfonowpop.com?

Identical to Listen To The Radio Now, Your Free Online Forms, Get Speed Tracker, and many others, Your Transit Info Now is a rogue application that supposedly provides detailed train schedules.

Initially, Your Transit Info Now may seem legitimate and useful, however, on closer inspection, it is clear that this app can be categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and a browser hijacker.

There are three main reasons for these negative associations: 1) stealth installation without consent; 2) tracking of Internet browsing activity, and; 3) promotion of a fake Internet search engine (search.hyourtransitinfonowpop.com).

What is Coinhive?

Coinhive (also knows as XMR Miner) is a service that allows web developers to inject sites with scripts that employ visitors' computers to mine Monero cryptocurrency. 

The idea behind Coinhive is legitimate and this service itself is not harmful, however, some web developers who employ this service become greedy and take advantage of the system: cryptocurrency is mined without users' consent and use of system resources is not limited by them. As a result, these people often misuse up to 100% of system resources without permission.

What is feed.shopping-day.com?

feed.shopping-day.com is a fake Internet search engine identical to feed.speedomizer.com, feed.video-browse.com, feed.emoji-search.com, and many others. By promising improved results, feed.shopping-day.com attempts to give the impression of legitimacy.

There is also a high probability that SpeedUpPC 2018 is proliferated using the "bundling" method. Therefore, it is delivered with a number of other potentially unwanted (typically adware-type) programs.
