Mostshinstar.com is a questionable website that may show a misleading pop-up notification 'Outdated Java Plugin Detected - Download Java For Windows - Java Update! - It is recommended that you update Java to the latest version to view this page - Please update to continue' on a computer system while PC users are browsing the Internet. The fake pop-up notification from Mostshinstar.com may be shown by adware that may circulate and access the computer system while PC users are downloading free applications from suspicious download websites. The tricky pop-up message delivered by PC threats such as adware and browser hijackers pertaining to Mostshinstar.com may encourage the computer user to download Java for Windows and then, update Java to the latest version to view the page. In fact, the alert of Mostshinstar.com is not associated with the legitimate PC user's Java program. The phony Java alert was produced to possibly spread adware and other potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). When the computer user clicks the 'OK' button of the Mostshinstar.com pop-up notification thinking that he will download Java or an update of Java, he may, in truth, allow to install a potentially unwanted program or adware.
