Popcornvod.com redirect virus - How to remove

Popcornvod.com redirect virus presents a subscription service that offers access to movies and other content streamed over the Internet to certain Internet-connected TVs, computers and other media devices. The service also supplies recommendations, reviews and other info, concerning movies and TV shows. However, we have our suspicion about this service as it can be similar to the Copybinary.me scam. Movie-streaming services are a popular theme for hoaxes. Many similar scams are already circulating around: MovieGoat or MovieCorner browser hijackers.

Popcornvod.com scam can show ads and take money out of banking accounts

The movie-provider of Popcornvod.com scam is popularized in Chile, Argentina, Indonesia, Italy and Japan. In Chile, this website is the 178th top-visited website. Therefore, the domain provides advertisements in the Spanish language and urges people to sign up for a 5 day free trial. Latter 5-days periods should not be accepted lightly as their untrustworthiness has been confirmed (Consumer).

Owners of Popcornvod scam call themselves the Cooleye Investments LTD and their headquarters are explained to be located in Cyprus. Somehow, many suspicious developers are from this country: Polarity with their products like Searchencrypt.com and Top Media Corp Ltd. with their 247vidz scam.

However, this suspicious service is pricy and payments are indicated to be non-refundable, meaning that there are strictly no refunds or credits for partially used subscription periods. Service is authorized to bill clients if the service is not canceled during the 5 day trials. The scam with free trials is very popular. Rogue tools like CyboScan and SystemKeeperPro have been noticed to cheat it comes to free trials.

Popcornvod.com scam is promoted by other adware parasites like Muvflix. Even though the free-trial is explained to provide online-streaming without any advertisements, we doubt that these statements are genuine. In the Terms and Conditions of this service, users are forbidden from removing, modifying, disabling, blocking, obscuring and otherwise impairing any advertising in connection with the Popcornvod.com virus. Apparently, advertisements from Adk2, Adcash, AdSupply, AdBooth and Propeller Ads Media ad networks are going to be displayed after users registerer for the service of Popcornvod scam.

Do not be surprised if banking account details are going to be required during the registration process. Popcornvod.com scam could be aiming to charge people if they are not careful enough. Since no refunds are provided, users will have no way of getting back their money. Musikmac hoax is also similar, but it provides access to a database of songs. Do not consider exploring any of these services. Since all of them could be aiming to deliver suspicious advertisements (FireEye), it could be that some of them will be malware-laden or leading to phishing domains.

Additionally, unknown third-parties will be in control of users’ phone numbers, credit card and other billing information, email addresses, home and business postal addresses. A multitude of different tracking cookies (F-Secure) are explained to be used for the purpose of maintaining the rogue services of Popcornvod.com scam. The following cookies are used to monitor users: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functionality cookies, targeting or advertising cookies. The gathered details will be used to deliver adverts more relevant to specific interests.

Do not signup for unknown services and avoid malware

You should not sign up for little-known services, especially if they provide music/movies in possibly illegal manners. In this case, many people are recommended to sign up for more respectable facilities. Find a one that could be approved by security researchers and would not charge their credit cards without any reason at all. Additionally, make sure that potentially unwanted programs would not be delivered in packages of freeware. During installation processes of free applications, select advanced/custom modes and be certain that no additional programs will be installed. Additionally, never install software applications from pop-ups or random websites. Your operating system could face harmful programs if you are not careful. Various types of tactics are exploited for the distribution of malware.

The reason why encouragements to sign up for the Popcornvod.com scam could be presented because of an adware parasite. For this purpose, we advise you to scan your device for malware. Spyhunter is a professional security tool that will help you get rid of infections. Check the list of active browser extensions: they could also be responsible for repetitive displays of advertisements.
