Jdj.openmace.net: Little More Than an Advertising Bludgeon to the Head of Your Browser

Jdj.openmace.net is a pop-up advertisement delivery site that may load a variety of different types of advertising, including both legitimate and, potentially, illegitimate ones. As far as malware experts can confirm it, Jdj.openmace.net advertisements arose as a widespread issue early in the first month of 2014, with various PC users having issues with unwanted browser add-ons loading Jdj.openmace.net advertisements. These adware products often were installed automatically.

The browsers being affected by Jdj.openmace.net adware are under investigation, but malware analysts suspect the use of Flash for enabling the advertising formats, which will load automatically and ignore any advertisement-blocking features you might have. For PCs with limited specs, Jdj.openmace.net's Flash advertisements may cause performance problems, including worsened loading times for websites and potential browser crashes. However, they are especially an object of concern for their potential to redirect you onto phishing attacks for collecting information and drive-by-downloads that distribute threats.
