Posted: October 26, 2012

Dsparking.com has been found to be promoted by browser-redirecting attacks that are often used by browser hijackers for criminal profiteering. Any redirects to Dsparking.com or contact with equally suspicious websites should be noted as symptomatic of the presence of malware on your computer. Since many browser hijackers for Dsparking.com and similar sites tend to have defenses against normal uninstall routines, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers suggest using dedicated anti-malware scanners to delete the source of Dsparking.com redirects and related PC threats.

The Real Spark that May Burn You at Dsparking.com

Dsparking.com doesn't do anything to distinguish its content as a link aggregate from similar websites that also offer links to sources for business, finance, gaming and other general-interest info. What makes Dsparking.com different from safe link aggregate sites is much more insidious – its reputation for hosting malicious software. Because SpywareRemove.com malware researchers haven't seen signs of Dsparking.com using social engineering to promote add-ons, stand-alone programs or other software-based products, they're forced to note that Dsparking.com has a high chance of using drive-by-download exploits to install malware without your consent.

Drive-by-downloads can occur through Java, JavaScript, Flash and other vectors that utilize advanced web-browsing features. Disabling these features can help your browser stay safe from attacks by Dsparking.com, although this shouldn't be thought of as a complete substitute for having competent anti-malware protection. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers also recommend that you use anti-malware software with web-browsing defensive features and keep your browser updated as defenses against incidental contact with Dsparking.com.

Why You Might Land at Dsparking.com Even Though It's the Last Thing on Your Mind

Browser hijackers are PC threats that alter your browser's settings in various ways that control which websites are loaded. Dsparking.com may be set to be your homepage, search results may be rerouted through Dsparking.com or you may just be sent to Dsparking.com randomly. SpywareRemove.com malware research team considers all browser hijackers for Dsparking.com and similar sites to be security risks, both because of the danger in the destination and due to the high chance of your browser's security features being disabled.

Standard browser hijackers alter the Windows Registry and may even include techniques as advanced as injecting themselves into your browser's memory process. If your browser is redirected to Dsparking.com without your permission, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers suggest the quick use of good anti-malware programs to delete the source of your Dsparking.com redirects. Manual removal methods are, at best, unlikely to detect and delete all of the associated malware.
