Clkpop.com

Posted: January 30, 2012

Clkpop.com Screenshot 1Clkpop.com is a website that creates pop-up advertisements with assistance from browser hijackers that redirect your web browser to Clkpop.com without your consent. Although advertisements by Clkpop.com may appear to be legitimate, Clkpop.com has been known to promote spammer sites. Besides its flurry of advertisements, Clkpop.com is also guilty of being promoted by browser hijackers, some of which have been linked to Trojans that attempt to steal personal information and monitor your activities. The highly invasive nature of spyware emphasizes the necessity of reacting to any Clkpop.com redirect as though Clkpop.com were a potentially serious danger to your PC by using suitable anti-malware programs to remove the PC threat in question.

Clkpop.com – You Click and Clkpop.com Provides the Pop

Clkpop.com is only known for its endless provisions of pop-ups, which are delivered in an arbitrary manner without your consent. Pop-ups from Clkpop.com have also been noted to be difficult to close and may, in some cases, be outright fraudulent or dangerous for your PC, despite their professional appearances. Confirmed spam sites like bestratedonlinesurveys.com have also been promoted by Clkpop.com, which, in turn, is promoted by browser hijackers.

Browser hijackers may set Clkpop.com to be your homepage, redirect you to Clkpop.com from other sites, swap your search engine's results for Clkpop.com's advertisements or simply open new tabs that include content from Clkpop.com without your permission. Most web browser hijackers for Clkpop.com will launch themselves when Windows starts, and SpywareRemove.com malware experts warn that they have been seen to use Windows Registry changes to attack all types of web browsers.

Making Clkpop.com and Its Advertisements Go Pop

Because browser hijackers that promote Clkpop.com are sometimes linked to Trojan-Spy.MSIL infections, SpywareRemove.com malware experts don't encourage you to ignore Clkpop.com redirects, lest you find that your personal information is snatched in between attacks on your web browser. Trojan-Spy.MSIL, as a keylogger, can record keyboard input to steal passwords or other private data and has been known to cause degraded mouse responsiveness as an indirect consequence of its attacks. If you see any of the symptoms noted above, it's recommended that you scan your PC via appropriate anti-malware software to remove Trojan-Spy.MSIL and any other PC threat that may have come aboard along with your Clkpop.com-promoting browser hijacker.

Other than the symptoms noted above, there may be few or no additional signs of a Clkpop.com-affiliated PC threat on your computer, and you should be prepared to use appropriate security software to detect browser hijackers for Clkpop.com and other PC threats whenever necessary. If you've already given personal information away to spammers or suspect that spyware Trojans have stolen your information, you should change all potentially-violated information, such as account passwords, to prevent future attacks against those accounts.
