Fla15.maxexp.com

Posted: April 10, 2012

Fla15.maxexp.com is a subdomain of Maxexp.com, a malicious site. Although Fla15.maxexp.com's external appearance makes Fla15.maxexp.com look like a site that's focused on gaming and news, Fla15.maxexp.com's real purpose is to install harmful software either without your permission or under misleading circumstances, and it's always recommended that you avoid Fla15.maxexp.com and all other subdomains of Maxexp.com. Recent Fla15.maxexp.com-promoting PC threats have also been found to use redirect attacks from popular socialization sites like Facebook, and if you experience these redirects, you should consider your PC potentially infected and remedy the issue by scanning your computer with suitable anti-malware products.

Fla15.maxexp.com's Two-Entrance Infiltration Plan for Your Web Browser

Fla15.maxexp.com is promoted in two separate ways, both of which use undesirable redirect attacks to force your web browser to load Fla15.maxexp.com and other Maxexp.com subdomains. The two methods of attack noted below are, so far, the only means Fla15.maxexp.com promotes itself:

  • By manually downloading and installing a Hosts file from Mvps.org, your web-browsing settings will be changed to redirect you to Maxexp.com and Fla15.maxexp.com from unrelated sites. Although Mvsp.org claims that its Hosts file can protect your PC against various threats, Windows includes its own Hosts file by default and you should never need to download a Hosts file from a third-party source like Mvps.org to upgrade or fix your computer.
  • By being infected by a Fla15.maxexp.com-affiliated browser hijacker, your Hosts file settings and other settings may be changed to redirect you to Fla15.maxexp.com against your will. Redirects by browser hijackers are, so far, limited to triggering after victims attempt to load the Facebook social networking site. However, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers warn that redirects to Fla15.maxexp.com may be easily reconfigured to trigger under different conditions.

Why Getting Caught Looking at Adult Content is the Least of Your Fla15.maxexp.com-Related Woes

Fla15.maxexp.com promotes its content as various news articles, risque adult media and even gaming applications, but SpywareRemove.com malware experts are more concerned with the content that Fla15.maxexp.com doesn't tell its visitors – namely, Fla15.maxexp.com's spyware. Spyware is typically installed without consent and rarely shows visible symptoms, but is capable of stealing personal information, monitoring your online activities and creating security vulnerabilities on your computer.

If you've visited Fla15.maxexp.com or any other part of Maxexp.com recently, your PC may have been infected through browser exploits or misleading download links. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you always scan your PC after any contact with Fla15.maxexp.com to insure your total privacy and security. Failure to protect your PC from Fla15.maxexp.com-related software can result in account break-ins, theft of private information and other attacks that can cause long term damage.
