PutLocker Ads

Accessing pirated content is always a risky task because pages hosting such media and software are usually a breeding ground for all kinds of malware, misleading tactics and other fraudulent schemes. This is exactly the case with PutLocker, a series of video streaming Web pages that offer their users the opportunity to view the latest TV series and movies for free. However, none of the content hosted on PutLocker's website is licensed – the movies and TV series hosted there are pirated, and attempting to view them may cause a wide range of issues if you are not careful.

In general, the best security advice is to avoid website associated with pirated media since this is an easy way to end up with malware on your computer. In the case of the PutLocker websites, there are several types of content to watch out for:

• Fake prompts to download media players or other software required to view the embedded media content.
• Promotions of online gambling sites and services with a questionable reputation.
• Offers to download dodgy software.
• Technical support tactics that provide fake information about a computer's health.

It appears that the owners of the PutLocker websites have set up a long list of pages to accommodate all of their content. All of these pages appear to host the same videos and TV series, and they also work with shady advertising networks – the latter is the primary reason for the dubious advertisements and pop-ups the PutLocker sites spawn. Some of the pages related to PutLocker are:

www.putlockers.me, www3.putlocker.vip, www123putlocker.info, w3.putlocker.to, ww6.putlockerfree.sc, www.putlockers-tv.com, ww0.putlockers.plus, ww.putlocker.onl

It is recommended to always view movies and TV series from reputable and licensed providers. If you, however, end up on a website linked to pirated content, then do remember not to click on any advertisements and never download the software it offers.
