Softstan.com

Posted: June 2, 2014

Softstan.com is a suspicious website that through the use of associated adware and browser hijackers may display a bogus 'Please Install the HD Video Player (Recommended)' pop-up message on a computer system. If a PC user clicks on the phony pop-up window from Softstan.com in a Web browser, the computer system may be contaminated with potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), adware, browser hijackers, unwanted add-ons, plug-ins, browser extensions, and even malware infections. If the fake pop-up notification from Softstan.com emerges on the PC, the computer user might have possibly clicked a link, which unwillingly diverted him to Softstan.com. The bogus alert of Softstan.com may also indicate that the computer has been already affected by adware or PUPs. The tricky notification of Softstan.com does not pertain to a legitimate update of the HD Video Player. If the PC user clicks the 'Remind Me Later' or 'Install' button in the message of Softstan.com, he may unknowingly permit PUPs, adware or even malware infections to be installed on the computer.
