Jsstatis.net

Posted: October 2, 2013

Jsstatis.net is a Web domain that has no content when loaded directly, but also often is linked to pop-up attacks by adware and other browser-modifying PC threats. Even though malware researchers have been unable to find any toxic content originating from Jsstatis.net, pop-ups from Jsstatis.net and other sites that reoccur without your consent always are symptomatic of the installation of undesirable software whose presence may be a minor security issue. Because Jsstatis.net pop-spawning adware usually is installed without your permission and hides its main components to prevent Jsstatis.net from being uninstalled promptly, using anti-malware products both for blocking the installers of Jsstatis.net-related PC threats and deleting a Jsstatis.net adware program that's already installed is heavily recommended.

The Status Behind What You See from Jsstatis.net

Jsstatis.net isn't designed to load any content when visited by any normal traffic. Despite seeming like an essentially blank slate, Jsstatis.net actually is used for loading advertising content provided by various third parties. However, this content usually only loads during the pop-up attacks so archetypal to advertising-based programs – AKA adware. Other types of browser add-ons that don't have advertising pop-ups as their primary purpose also may display Jsstatis.net pop-up advertisements as a secondary function, along with such other issues as browser redirects or link-injection attacks.

Malware researchers have not finalized all analyses of the content delivered through Jsstatis.net, but do note that Jsstatis.net has not been identified as an unreliable site by any relevant PC security organization and does not display the warning signs of a typical infection vector or phishing site. Despite this good news, you should continue to remain on guard when interacting with any unexpected pop-ups from Jsstatis.net, which still have the possibility of being used to gather confidential information through misleading requests (such as fraudulent surveys) or promote potential threats.

Awakening Your Browser from a Jsstatis.net Pop-Up Stasis

Because any program that loads its Web content without your permission almost always is a herald of other security problems – not to mention overall poor browser performance – there is no downside to recommend that Jsstatis.net adware shouldn't be deleted immediately. In most cases, surety in a total uninstall will require that you use anti-malware programs with good history of removing unwanted browser changes and deliberately concealed program files that, so often, are the trademark traits of adware, Potentially Unwanted Programs and browser hijackers.

Just as they refuse to leave when you wish it, Jsstatis.net adware programs also usually are installed without asking for your permission. Be careful of some of the most common infection vectors related to low-level PC threats, including installers that bundle extra applications, freeware sites with poor reputations and, of course, software piracy networks.
