Posted: October 31, 2012

EnterFactory.com is used as a destination in browser-redirecting attacks by other PC threats. Interestingly, malware researchers have seen redirects to EnterFactory.com take several formats, which is indicative of browser hijackers for EnterFactory.com coming in multiple variants. Contact with EnterFactory.com is strongly discouraged, and any software that's associated with EnterFactory.com should be removed with a qualified anti-malware scanner.

SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have elaborated on the two main dangers from EnterFactory.com's content at this time:

  • Malicious mobile phone applications. These applications may claim to possess functions they don't have, include hidden functions that attack your phone or use automatic-billing exploits to steal money (even though EnterFactory.com claims that its add-ons are free).
  • Phishing attacks that are disguised as online quizzes and tests. Although these questionnaires appear to be harmless, at the end, you will receive a request for your mobile phone number and other personal information before you can access your results.

SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend that you avoid giving EnterFactory.com either your personal information or your trust with respect to software downloads. They also encourage you to scan your computer after any contact with EnterFactory.com whatsoever.

When EnterFactory.com is a Ride You Don't Have a Choice About Taking

Contact with isn't always the choice of the victim; in cases of browser hijacker-related infections, your browser may load EnterFactory.com without your permission. These attacks also may promote other malicious or advertisement-related sites and all major browsers are vulnerable.

SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have found that EnterFactory.com redirects have shown up in the following ways:

  • New tabs that display EnterFactory.com automatically when you use your browser.
  • Pop-ups for EnterFactory.com that appear regardless of whether or not you're using your browser.
  • Redirects to EnterFactory.com from popular search engines or social networking sites (Google or Facebook).

Given the potential variation in EnterFactory.com-redirecting attacks, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you use generalized anti-malware solutions to stop EnterFactory.com redirects. Redirects to EnterFactory.com also may be used along with other attacks, including attempts to steal personal information, compromise your PC's security settings or disable important programs. Even though SpywareRemove.com malware experts can confirm such incidents in 2011, redirects to EnterFactory.com still should be considered an ongoing threat as of October of 2012.
