Cinebo.net pop-up - How to remove

Cinebo.net is a web page that appears to Mozilla and Chrome users during their internet browsing sessions and is caused either by irresponsible browsing habits or worse – another computer virus. This threat misuses the pop-up feature and tries to perform malicious deeds after tricking gullible users into giving their voluntary consent.

Throughout the recent years, pop-ups have become almost a routine in virtual surfing, making you pick whether to allow further interaction of a visited website directly with you or block it. Typically, most of the users don’t even bother to click anywhere on the suddenly displayed box, but that is not an option for Cinebo.net notifications, which will keep reappearing until you will make a choice. But apart from being very insistent and pushy, Cinebo.net pop-ups have even more tricks upon its sleeve.

If you fell for Cinebo.net notification virus and gave your permission or want to stop it from reappearing on your browser, you’ll find this 2-viruses.com article helpful and informative, because our researchers ran a thorough analysis on this, at the first glance simple-looking, malware. Additionally, at the end of the post you’ll discover the detailed guidelines on how to remove Cinebo.net pop-up virus, so keep reading.

What does Cinebo.net pop-ups do

Cinebo.net together with its subdomain Cdn.cinebo.net look identical to the shady Adf.ly URL shortening website. It is yet unknown if they belong to the same network and are released to advertise the service or are made by some separate independent developers. So far the websites are not marked as malicious nor suspicious, according to the Virustotal.com scan results. Despite it not being recognized as a threat, that does not mean that Cinebo.net pop-ups cannot cause damage to your computer. On the contrary, they work as a portal to other malicious software, however, require your voluntary consent to execute their rogue behavior.

Right after your browser opens Cinebo.net website, instantly a little box below the address line pops up asking if Cinebo.net can Show Notifications. While this pop-up feature has been active in the World Wide Web for years, allowing domain owners to Advertise, send updates to their users, report about new releases and etc., Cinebo.net notifications were designed to abuse the authorization provided by the PC owner and gain power over the browser by using malicious scripts, that are injected after the official permission is granted. This behavior is also seen in other malware such as Ukliminimate.club, Permanyabbot.club, Boostertools.org and etc.

Once the distracted user clicks Allow button on the URL box, Cinebo.net pop-ups start showing off by redirecting their visitors to various other third-party websites that pay Cinebo.net for their advertising. Such Sponsored links and products are not regulated or reviewed at all, therefore without a surprise can include anything, viruses too, as long as they pay Cinebo.net developers for their promotion. Our researchers have discovered that right after the pop-up permission was granted, users were redirected to another notification virus called dingsandrigh.club pop-up, also playerandapp.com and also streamango.com, additionally ‘Your software may be out of date!’ and ‘Updates recommended’. These and other ads will end up bothering you not just after Cinebo.net pop-up install but whenever you open your browser.

As you can tell, giving your consent to Cinebo.net pop-up can easily result in malvertising and viruses, yet the reason why Cinebo.net notifications are not marked as malicious is probably that they themselves are not malicious, except for the scripts that are initiated once the permit is granted. If you happen to be dealing with this virus, please remove it immediately, because there is a great chance for your computer to get seriously damaged.

Why are you seeing Cinebo.net pop-ups

There are many ways hackers can expose their virus-induced Cinebo.net pop-ups to online users but the most commonly used techniques are either redirecting links (e.g. Relosoun.com, Liverealdeals.com) or adware. In the first case, you end up clicking on a rerouting hyperlink, whether it’s on a shady site or a legitimate one and then being diverted to the Cinebo.net notification page. At this moment, Cinebo.net pop-ups are known to be caused by agileurbia.com redirect and a few other suspicious domains. On the other hand, these notifications, are not the most troubling and can easily be prevented either by avoiding the site which generates it or disabling web push alerts. (What websites are most likely to infect with malware)

In addition to that, the more troubling and harder to fix the problem of Cinebo.net pop-ups is if they’re caused by a potentially unwanted program, more specifically adware. As we mentioned, Cinebo.net seems to be a part of Adf.ly, a big questionable ad-network, which definitely can invest into dissemination through another virus, like BestMapFinder, PDFKing, Maxi Buy. Cinebo.net pop-up developers pay for adware to spread their product and because this threat is already in your PC, with too much authorization, the targeted user ends up seeing Cinebo.net alerts almost every browsing session and on every website. This PUP could have sneaked in without your notice inside some torrent, fake update or a bundle of programs from freeware distributing vendors or suspicious websites. Viruses hide as additional applications, which are set to install by the default unless the user opts out. That can be altered by installing programs in Custom/Advanced mode, not Recommended, as well as sticking to getting products from their official sites and using reliable antivirus.

How can you get rid of Cinebo.net virus

Redirects-caused Cinebo.net pop-ups are nothing to worry about because they can simply be avoided by practicing safe online browsing skills or blocking the website’s notifications. What you should be concerned about, though, is if the alerts are the consequence of an adware virus, that is inside of your system, making it vulnerable and leading you to dangerous situations by generating malevolent pop-ups. In that case, you need to take care of the root cause in order to solve the problem and clean your operating system to safely use the computer again. That can be done either manually or automatically. Both of the Cinebo.net notification virus elimination techniques are reliable, yet we recommend removal using a special anti-malware program, rather than deleting virus yourself.

The reason why spyware terminating tools surpass any other method is that they are specifically designed by cybersecurity professionals for a purpose of finding and eliminating all kinds of malware, Cinebo.net pop-up included. So far Spyhunter proved us that their sophisticated virus hunting and eliminating skills are worth the trust and can help out in situations like Cinebo.net notification infection when the causing problem is unknown.
