Www.flashresultats.fr

Flashresultats.fr is a website indirectly associated with unauthorized network activity typical to that of a backdoor Trojan, Trojan downloader or another form of threat. Although not necessarily threatening, Flashresultats.fr may harm your PC when exploited in conjunction with a threatening program that's incorporated Flashresultats.fr into its Command & Control server structure. Deleting any program making contact with Flashresultats.fr (or other sites) automatically is a basic security protocol, and one which malware experts advise implementing with a good anti-malware product.

Finding Your Control Over Your Browser Gone in a Flash

Flashresultats.fr is a long-running French website dedicated to providing information on popular sports results, including match scores for such popular pastimes as rugby and tennis. The site is over half a decade old, is not blacklisted and lacks any history of illicit behavior on the part of its administrators. However, malware experts have seen evidence of this site's being drafted into at least one Trojan campaign. Evidence of this illicit activity was confirmed in June of 2015, although the campaign may have been running for significantly longer than that.

The latest known attacks compromised the victim's PC by unknown methods, using Trojans with browser-based communications functions. These functions (similar to Fake Google Chrome Processes, but favoring Internet Explorer) contacted Flashresultats.fr without using any externally visible pop-ups or other browser symptoms. Additionally, malware experts also verified that the communication included the use of an hxxp exploit. This exploit may be used for overriding basic browser safety features, which could enable automatic downloading of threatening or unwanted software.

Additional behavior trends from the unidentified threat also point to Flashresultats.fr being used as a communications infrastructure point. The inconsistent presence of the browser processes, including their spontaneous self-termination, raise the likelihood of the functions being meant for uploading or downloading data. However, there still potential for the same functions being used as passive means of revenue generation (via advertising click-fraud, for example).

Getting the Safest Browser Results

In terms of website classifications, Flashresultats.fr is a rarity. As a site that has no known threat content and is being maintained by a reasonably reputable organization, malware experts have no reasons for blacklisting Flashresultats.fr. However, third parties using 'safe' sites like Flashresultats.fr to attack infected PCs are no less threatening than those using personal, certifiably threatening domains. The thus far verified forms of contact with Flashresultats.fr, while only visible in terms of rogue memory processes, still may be one link in a chain of threat communications that compromise your computer.

PC owners who are observing unwanted processes contacting Flashresultats.fr can use anti-malware products to identify and delete the Trojan responsible for creating those processes. Some cases of contact may correspond to other, semi-obvious symptoms, such as some disruptions of performance from low memory. However, you never should assume that these symptoms will appear for threatening software, whose purpose may be to avoid being detected at all.
