Not to mention the heightened risks of you clicking on them.

How did Sax.peakonspot.com redirect infect your browser

Sax.peakonspot.com virus can be disseminating either because of some potentially unwanted program (adware) installs it on their victims’ computers or because of irresponsible online surfing. According to Similarweb.com analysis, one third of all traffic to Sax.peakonspot.com page comes from referring sites (artulenia.com, r.mylot.com, xvideos5.com.br, disfablot.com, bancodevenezuela.com) and another third from displayed malicious ads. Rerouting promotions, which hide this threat’s link, are coming from ad networks like, Ero-Advertising, PopMyAds, sh.st, PopAds, Aedgency, and they are placed on various popular websites like youtube.com, mega.nz, news.yandex.ru, senhation.pro, facebook.com. Although these domains don’t necessarily want to post malware as Sax.peakonspot.com redirect on their sites, they cannot control what the network will display, therefore you have to be careful everywhere when you are browsing online, because not just adult content websites spread viruses, apparently.
