Posted: April 3, 2014

Onefloorserve.com is a site that disguises threat downloads as legitimate software updates for reputable programs – typically products associated with media files. Although its looks try to conceal Onefloorserve.com as a site with useful software, Onefloorserve.com should be considered no less than a corrupted website trying to infiltrate your computer through disingenuous means. Malware researchers recommend using anti-malware products to analyze your PC for threats after any encounters with Onefloorserve.com, especially non-consensual ones, such as unwanted pop-ups or browser redirects.

Getting Your Browser Served One Piece of the Threat Puzzle

Many ill-minded persons may use social networking links, e-mail attachments or other methods of distributing threats, but one of the average factors in all these delivery methods is an attempt to trick the victim into downloading the threatening software personally. Onefloorserve.com further exemplifies this essential lack of honesty in download propagation with its VLC Player bundle, which Onefloorserve.com always will offer to any PC that loads its site, even if your media player is already updated. Although the VLC Player software is legitimate, Onefloorserve.com's version of the installer includes bundled threat that's installed automatically.

The real VLC Player is a reputable product that can be found at Videolan.org, without any unwanted accompaniments. Based on previous patterns by other PC threats, malware researchers estimate that Onefloorserve.com most likely is being used to target PC users who are searching for new movie files. However, Onefloorserve.com exposure also may be induced through random pop-up attacks, browser hijacks, search redirects and other functions of both Potentially Unwanted Programs and other threats.

An Easy Escape from the Slippery Floor Towards Onefloorserve.com

The threatening software being installed through Onefloorserve.com still is being analyzed for further details on its intentions and attacks. For your PC's security, malware experts would suggest that you try to uninstall any software related to Onefloorserve.com in any way through the application of dependable anti-malware utilities. Any browser symptoms that force Onefloorserve.com to load automatically also should be treated as evidence of threats actively engaged in harming your online security.

A competent threat distribution website like Onefloorserve.com is formatted to make threatening downloads look safe, and even may name them to look like products from legitimate companies.

Hoaxes like Onefloorserve.com, which target PC users who are only mildly familiar with video codecs and other media-related PC features, are a favorite of cybercrooks, and malware researchers continue to advise all due paranoia against them.
