Posted: January 8, 2016

Profittower.net is a corrupt Web page that attempts to scare its visitors by claiming they are infected with various cyber threats. Profittower.net is almost identical to deficittower.net. Profittower.net is also related to a compromised add-on that may hijack the browsers of the victims and loads its Web page automatically. The people behind these two questionable sites may spread browser hijackers in software bundles. If you install freeware without reading the details, you may agree to load the harmful add-on related to profittower.net involuntarily. If it happens, this compromised platform may become the homepage of all available web clients, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. You also may experience automatic redirections to it whenever you open new browser tabs or at random intervals of time. Profittower.net welcomes the visitors with a pop-up, which should, theoretically, indicate a threat infection. In the background, you may notice fake scanning process that takes only a few seconds to finish. Profittower.net always shows a list of numerous cyber threats, including Trojans, keyloggers and Trojan droppers. In reality, none of them exists. With the exception of the browser hijacker, your system is most likely clean. However, the list of so many advanced forms of threats may be enough to scare less experienced PC users. As a solution to the imaginary problem, profittower.net recommends you dial 855-612-9897. This way you are supposedly going to receive help from certified technicians. Unfortunately, the people who will introduce themselves as experienced support agents are con artists. They will demand substantial payment although they will not assist you in any way. The requested sum may easily reach a few hundred dollars. You should not agree to provide these con artists with remote access to your PC because they may infect it with real parasites. You should take the proper measures to disable the browser hijacker immediately and stop the redirections to profittower.net.
