Juicyads.com

Juicyads.com is an ad-tracking domain that has long-term ties to distributing unsafe content, being promoted by corrupted sites, and benefiting from the redirects of browser-hijacking threats. Although serving adult advertisements and providing Web traffic metrics are legitimate services, malware experts recommend avoiding contact with any business that has prolonged ties to threat-related content. PC owners experiencing automatic redirects can remove Juicyads.com hijackers via appropriate security software and procedures.

The Taste of Juice that Pays No Attention to Its Security

Advertising is an essential vein in the organism of the Web, but even its caretakers don't always handle it with the caution that their places of responsibility should mandate. Juicyads.com is a particularly visible outlier in the category of advertisement network businesses, with years of operation saturated in various indirect and direct connections to harmful activities. Malware analysts took note of browser hijacking campaigns promoting Juicyads.com especially starting from January of 2015.

Campaigns using forcible redirects towards this site and its accompanying advertisements are verifiable for targeting both the Chrome browser and router hardware. In both cases, distribution methods are still being researched, although malware experts can confirm that the router attacks utilize modified DNS settings. This straightforward method of redirecting the computer users functions for all PCs using the same router, regardless of their Web browsers. Juicyads.com hijackers operating through hijacking Chrome use methods still subject to confirmation, potentially related to hidden extension settings.

In either case, computer users may experience redirects to Juicyads.com after accessing any other websites. Some Juicyads.com hijackers also may embed a tracker that prevents the redirect from loading on repeated visits to the same URL. Since Juicyads.com specializes in hosting adult advertisement content, Web surfers are, at best, subjected to explicit material, or at worst, to threatening content that could harm their computers.

Getting Just the Flavor of Advertisements You Want

While Juicyads.com hijackers aren't always the most intrusive browser hijacking threats malware experts see, they may represent more than a nuisance to even a casual Web surfer. Juicyads.com has confirmed connections to malicious advertisements repeatedly, including drive-by-downloads that install threats. The fact that Juicyads.com hijackers may conceal their files and settings changes consistently also can make it initially difficult to identify them, until the symptoms become noticeable over time.

Because Juicyads.com hijackers may deliver themselves in multiple formats, with inadequate samples available, malware experts can't suggest a single solution to all attacks. However, setting your local and router DNS settings to their default values and flushing your browser's cache both may be helpful. The actual software of a Juicyads.com hijacker, like any self-concealing parasite, should be removed by a security program able to detect parasites of this category. A thorough system scan may require restarting with the Safe Mode option active, as per your operating system developer's recommendations.

On the outside, Juicyads.com is nothing more than a harmless purveyor of erotica. However, anything more than a superficial glance shows this domain's complicity in acts that may harm PCs and damage finances every day. Blindly trusting all Web advertisements is, unfortunately, no wiser than trusting every stranger one meets on the street.
