Ads.glispa.com

Ads.glispa.com is an advertisement-tracking server that monitors an online advertisement network's viewership to derive basic, non-confidential statistics from the information. While, when considered independently, Ads.glispa.com is not a security issue, malware researchers have seen Ads.glispa.com pop-ups and browser redirects that are caused by third-party programs. These unnecessary browser modifications may put your PC at risk, and uninstalling an Ads.glispa.com hijacker through the use of good anti-malware tools should be your immediate recourse.

When Advertisements Have Their Finger Too Firmly on the Pulse of Your PC

Advertising servers and servers with related functions, such as audience tracker domains, continue to be both numerous and profitable in today's online world. Sadly, that profitability also has negative repercussions for the PC security of some Web surfers, who see their browsers subverted to turn a dollar for third parties. Ads.glispa.com is one of many advertisement-tracking domains examined by malware experts recently, and, like many, identical domains, also has been exploited by browser-hijacking software.

Ads.glispa.com hijack campaigns have affected the Firefox browser since 2012, with other, recent campaigns for different Web-browsing programs taking place since that time. Most cases involved several series of unwanted redirects to Ads.glispa.com and other advertisement-based domains automatically, and without any respect for the original Web page that your browser might have been attempting to load. Although Ads.glispa.com redirects may be related to safe advertisements, malware researchers also have seen them promoting Potentially Unwanted Programs such as the iLivid Download Manager.

By themselves, PUPs may endanger your computer's security either directly or indirectly, most usually through unwanted changes to your Web browser's settings. However, since these changes would take place in addition to being redirected to Ads.glispa.com and other servers, it can be said that any PC in the midst of this situation may have had its Web-browsing security subverted, to some extent.

Taking the Glisten out of Ads.glispa.com Advertisements

Ads.glispa.com advertisements may not always be threatening to your computer, but Web-browsing programs that load websites automatically, always are probable sources of a variety of security issues. When Ads.glispa.com redirects or pop-ups appear without being related to specific, avoidable websites, they usually are symptoms of the installation of unwanted or even threatening software. Malware researchers also have seen at least one variant of an Ads.glispa.com hijacker for Firefox that attempts to conceal itself and avoid removal, which are traits typical of threats, and their removal always should be handled with dedicated anti-malware tools.

Advertising online is both a source of great riches and great insecurity, for PC users who may find themselves on the incorrect end of an online 'get rich quick' scheme by the authors of threats and PUPs. Although only a minority of PC security organizations consider Ads.glispa.com to be a corrupted domain, and malware experts have not seen any indications of Ads.glispa.com performing unsafe activities, and you should have continued caution for all sites known to be exploited in the seedier side of online advertising.
