‘Mediaplace.org’ Pop-Ups

Mediaplace.org is a deceptive Web page that may become the starting point of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer automatically. This platform is closely associated with a highly suspicious Web extension that may hijack your browser. The plugin may cause regular redirections to mediaplace.org and also change the configuration of the Web clients. It may replace the default search provider or inject annoying and unrequested commercial materials. Immediately after you find yourself on Mediaplace.org, you will encounter a congratulating message. It says that you are awarded an expensive prize of your choice because you are the lucky visitor of the day. According to the pop-up, you need to fill a short survey in 3 minutes, after which you will receive a 128GB iPhone 6s, an Apple Macbook or a Playstation 4 Bundle.

The questionnaire asks you about your surfing habits – for example, what is your preferred browser or how often you go online. Unfortunately, there are no rewards for you to get. Mediaplace.org is involved in a hoax as it tries to make you share your email address and phone number. This information would be extremely valuable to some questionable companies that promote their products in spam campaigns. Some dealers may even call you to advertise their business. In some cases, Mediaplace.org may encourage you to register on the platforms of their partners. It is even possible the questionable domain to redirect you to affiliate sites that offer highly suspicious software. In all cases, it is best to undertake the necessary steps for the immediate removal of this browser hijacker. In the time ahead, you should be careful when you load freeware because the majority of browser hijackers may enter as bundled components.
