Posted: January 14, 2014

Jcs.drivetickets.net is a website associated with online pop-ups, including advertisements and even attacks against vulnerable PCs exploiting general advertisement networks. Although Jcs.drivetickets.net is not currently sufficiently implicated to be labeled a risky website, malware researchers recommend using strong caution whenever interacting with Jcs.drivetickets.net, and being particularly attentive to potential harmful offers, such as fake software updates. Reappearing Jcs.drivetickets.net pop-ups, of any format, are symptoms of adware programs, and deleting Jcs.drivetickets.net adware is recommended for having a stable and safe computer.

Jcs.drivetickets.net: an Advertisement-Delivered Ticket to Computer Problems

Frequently, adware programs that are designed to deliver unwanted advertisements and other unsafe Web content are seen in slightly new formats, but they actually are just one part of a multiple step process. A second step in these adware campaigns involves the use of Web domains for delivering these third party advertisements, and Jcs.drivetickets.net is one of the newer domains to be a part of it. Content from Jcs.drivetickets.net is potentially heavily variable, but has a history of being unsafe for the viewers' computers.

Besides normal advertisements, malware experts found the unpleasant surprise of other attacks being delivered through Jcs.drivetickets.net pop-ups. These attacks have been disguised as fraudulent updates for Flash, similar to the 'Flash Player Update is Required to View this Content' Virus or the 'Flash Player Upgrade Required' fake message. Although the contents of these fake patches include risky and unwanted software, their downloads are designed to look identical to a normal Adobe update, at least, on surface inspection.

Getting a Refund for Your Ticket to Nowhere Good

As a good practice for keeping your PC safe from all known infection vectors, you should use anti-malware utilities to scan your PC after any kind of unprotected exposure to a Jcs.drivetickets.net pop-up. Malware researchers particularly caution against installing Flash updates through Jcs.drivetickets.net, which are likely to be compromised or wholly fake. The payloads of these fake patches potentially may include harmful software that could wreak long term harm on your computer, such as a banking Trojan or other spyware.

However, you will not be likely to stumble on Jcs.drivetickets.net without a little 'extra help' from unsafe sites or adware programs. One-time redirects to Jcs.drivetickets.net or Jcs.drivetickets.net pop-ups may be caused by websites that try to expose you to advertising or unsafe content, and, as long as your Web browser is reasonably protected, there should be little to fear from them. On the other hand, any repeated cases of Jcs.drivetickets.net problems may be caused by adware add-ons, which have a history of enjoying automatic installation. Deleting Jcs.drivetickets.net adware is necessary for your PC's safety, and malware researchers always recommend using appropriate PC security software when doing so.
