HotChatDate.com Pop-Ups

Posted: December 23, 2015

HotChatDate.com is not one of the regular dating sites that may help you find your soulmate. This page is fraudulent and often appears in the browsers of the PC users against their will. It is associated with an aggressive browser hijacker, which may infect Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. This harmful extension may cause regular redirections towards HotChatDate.com, which may become a very annoying process. The site is made very poorly. All it contains is a video of a beautiful and lightly dressed girl. The platform claims that it is a live chat, but the video is recorded in advance. Next to the girl, you may notice a chat window. The administrators of HotChatDate.com may initiate a conversation with you, introducing themselves as the girl. They may encourage you to register on another site in order to get acquainted with her. This is how the scam happens – some of the advertised platforms may offer premium services that require your credit card details. If you share them, some hackers may attempt to steal your funds. The browser hijacker behind HotChatDate.com may include pop-ups and banners in different pages. These ads may also contain a chat field. Clicking anywhere on them will load the compromised dating platform. The dangerous plugin may have entered alongside freeware that you have downloaded in the recent past. Typically, the 'Quick' installation guide loads all components in the installer. Thus, the browser hijacker may evade your attention. However, if you haven't downloaded any new program lately, the hijacker may have been brought by malware. It is advisable to check your PC with a suitable anti-malware solution to stop the automatic redirections towards HotChatDate.com.
