Clkmon.com

Clkmon.com is an advertising domain that recently has been promoted by the attacks of various adware programs, particularly ones designed for Internet Explorer. While SpywareRemove.com malware researchers can't vouch for the safety of advertisements displayed by Clkmon.com, suitably speedy anti-malware solutions when trying to remove Clkmon.com adware should prevent any meaningful harm from coming to your computer. Adware programs, including those for sites like Clkmon.com that specialize in mere advertising content, always are security risks and should be removed regularly once their symptoms, such as unwanted pop-up advertisements, are detected.

When What You Click Doesn't Correlate with What Your Browser Displays

Advertising sites like Clkmon.com usually profit, not from enjoying direct traffic from visitors (since such sites don't have any content draws to encourage people to visit them), but rather, from the indirect traffic that's associated with viewing their advertisements. Issues with Clkmon.com only began to be confirmed recently, as malware researchers were able to identify various cases of adware attacks involving the non-consensual display of advertisements from Clkmon.com.

In many cases, the adware interested in promoting Clkmon.com in this way was limited to attacking Internet Explorer, although similar PC threats tend to be compatible with other browsers. Symptoms of these attacks most commonly appeared in the format of typical browser pop-up advertisements, which were created after the victim clicked unrelated links (such as a search engine's result). However, SpywareRemove.com malware experts also warn that they may utilize other attacks common to browser hijackers and adware, such as:

• Changing your homepage.
• Creating unwanted links from text key words and phrases.
• Inserting advertisements into your search results or redirecting your searches to other sites entirely.

Pulling Your PC Out of the Clkmon.com Advertisement Network

Clkmon.com is not necessarily dangerous to visit, although all of the usual precautions should be considered whenever you're interacting with (or merely being subject to) advertisements from Clkmon.com pop-ups. Since adware attacks linked to Clkmon.com pop-ups are a recent phenomenon, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers suggest that you update any anti-malware programs being used to disinfect your PC to have the utmost certainty of deleting Clkmon.com adware and related PC threats. Clkmon.com adware does have a history of evading detection by some simpler brands of security software, despite being labeled as a simple and low-level PC threat.

Browser security features, such as pop-up blockers, may be able to suppress the symptoms of Clkmon.com adware, but you shouldn't mistake suppressing the symptoms for disinfecting your computer. Adware programs that are blocked from their attacks still are security risks; SpywareRemove.com malware experts often notice similar PC threats changing your browser's security settings in ways that make your Web-browsing experience less safe than usual – even if you can't tell that they've done so.
