Posted: November 15, 2013

Def.findci.net is an advertising domain sometimes tied to pop-ups. Because Def.findci.net adware and related PC threats may be installed in any of multiple formats, many of which are resistant to deletion, use of general anti-malware tools able to detect and clean additional PC threats as they're detected during an in-depth system scan is highly recommended.

Finding Unpleasant Software Through Def.findci.net

Def.findci.net doesn't have an independent marketing network or its own content, but is used to display advertisements from various third parties. Unfortunately, Def.findci.net's 'third parties' also include threat-distributing criminals, and recent Def.findci.net advertisements have been known to market fraudulent update patches for media players, Web browsers and other common software. Although malware researchers consider updating all software regularly to be an excellent practice for maintaining your PC's security, they also caution that you never should find an update through an advertisement network or other type of unconfirmed third party source. These infections vectors may be used to encourage you to install high-level PC threats. Particularly sophisticated attacks may install threats onto your PC as soon as the content has loaded – even if you don't install the fake patch intentionally.

You may think it should be simple to avoid Def.findci.net's content, but the inclusion of Def.findci.net pop-ups in various forms of low-level PC threats and PUPs makes this more difficult than would be expected. Current Def.findci.net pop-up attacks appear to be included in the functions of some lyrics-themed browser add-ons like bestLyrics-34, although other kinds of threats unreported thus far also may be able to launch similar attacks. Malware experts usually find that multiple-program bundled installers may be the cause of threats with pop-up-based symptoms.

The Definitive Way to Find an Escape from Def.findci.net Pop-Ups

Malware experts consider that most pop-up-generating programs may be PC security threats even when the sites they're linked to are completely harmless. Naturally, Def.findci.net's history of distributing unreliable content makes Def.findci.net pop-ups even more of a concern than pop-up attacks related to other Web domains. However, sufficient anti-malware and anti-malware-scanning technology should be able to delete Def.findci.net adware and related unsafe software with no further troubles.

Despite the value inherent in having good anti-malware protection, the responsibility of the PC user to avoid likely sources of Def.findci.net adware infections also shouldn't be trivialized. Free software sites with histories of distributing unwanted software, software piracy-based download sources and torrenting networks may be some of the top distribution points for both PUPs and various types of threats. If you don't want to run the risk of Def.findci.net pop-ups appearing in your browser one day, any interactions with such file-downloading sources should include a healthy dose of paranoia.
