Ad.xtendmedia.com is a site that's designed to display advertisements and exploit browser vulnerabilities to install adware. Promotional efforts for Ad.xtendmedia.com may attempt to reel you in with claims of free media downloads. Since Ad.xtendmedia.com is particularly noted for being used by browser hijackers as an advertising vehicle, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you use anti-malware programs to analyze your machine and remove any browser hijacker that's responsible for redirects to Ad.xtendmedia.com.

Why Tunes Aren't What Ad.xtendmedia.com Wants to Give Your PC

Ad.xtendmedia.com's marketing has been focused around free-downloading websites such as the currently-defunct Megaupload, with links to Ad.xtendmedia.com claiming to offer free popular music and other files of interest. Ad.xtendmedia.com's actual content can accurately be said to be a series of endless advertisements. Issues related with Ad.xtendmedia.com usually result in adware or browser hijacker infections that redirect you to Ad.xtendmedia.com.

To protect your browser from such vulnerabilities, you also can consider updating your browser regularly, disabling commonly-exploited features (such as Java and JavaScript) and/or using specialized DNS lists that block malicious software-distributing web domains. These safety measures are applicable to all brands of web browsers, and PC threats usually have been found to be able to attack most major web-browsing applications.
