The Sparkle You don't Want Your Browser to Have

Apiwebsparklebiz-a.akamaihd.net is one of several sub-domains that malware researchers have seen being promoted by the attacks and unwanted functions of various browser add-ons for Akamaihd.net, including others like Rvzr-a.akamaihd.net and Rvzr2-a.akamaihd.net. These subsets of Akamaihd.net are used to deliver advertising and other unwanted content to a browser that's specially modified by Potentially Unwanted Programs or other threatening software. However, Apiwebsparklebiz-a.akamaihd.net's campaign is a particularly recent divergence from past efforts, and may show other, consistent traits:

• Your Web browser may be redirected to Apiwebsparklebiz-a.akamaihd.net automatically from both Web searches and efforts to load unrelated sites.
• Text-based advertising links, or in-text advertisements that are injected into specific keywords on other sites may appear automatically.
• You may have problems with accessing streaming media content, particularly for popular movie sites like YouTube. Most incidents result in the affected browser being unable to play any streaming movie content at all.
• Rarely, some websites also may be blocked completely.

So far, malware researchers have seen these issues plaguing multiple brands of Windows browsers. Unwanted toolbars are currently estimated to be one of the major sources of these problems, which may harm your browser's performance or ability to filter content safely. Any software that causes the above symptoms should be treated as a Potentially Unwanted Program at a minimum.

Getting Your Movies Back from Apiwebsparklebiz-a.akamaihd.net

Apiwebsparklebiz-a.akamaihd.net, like all sub-domains of Akamaihd.net, is a site that rarely will be encountered without the interference of unwanted programs affecting your Web browser's behavior. Malware researchers' analyzes have shown that most of these PC threats include components or settings changes that may be hidden from the user, and may even be retained after the standard uninstallation of all related software. As such, it is heavily advised for you to use anti-adware and anti-malware scanners while removing Apiwebsparklebiz-a.akamaihd.net hijackers, adware and toolbars.

While the overarching campaign that's responsible for these problems is semi-old, Apiwebsparklebiz-a.akamaihd.net add-ons are some of the most recently-identified variants to date. Updating your security software to detect these add-ons, along with the free bundles most likely to install them automatically, will let you dodge the bullet of a streaming movie site that has nothing but static to show you.
