Securesignupoffers.net

Posted: February 10, 2014

Securesignupoffers.net is a domain that advertises free and premium domain hosting services. However, poor practices on the part of Securesignupoffers.net and its affiliate, Ifastnet.com, have caused malware researchers to recommend caution when interacting with either of these domains. The recent identification of new browser hijackers promoting Securesignupoffers.net also has caused Securesignupoffers.net to become a PC security issue, and these Securesignupoffers.net browser redirects are no different from other browser-based attacks that should be stopped by the threat-detecting scans of a thoroughly up-to-date PC anti-malware suite.

The Unmentioned Drawbacks of Signing on with Securesignupoffers.net

As an ironically clear case of the sometimes indecisive classifications of online businesses between the 'legal' and the 'illegal,' Securesignupoffers.net is a domain known primarily for promoting itself through pop-up spam and promoting domain-hosting services that may not necessarily be as good as advertised. Many, if not all customers have reported unsatisfactory experiences through Securesignupoffers.net-affiliated hosting companies, and malware researchers have seen some signs that Securesignupoffers.net's partnered companies may push 'free' users toward premium memberships with minimal justification.

Securesignupoffers.net also has a history of being used for phishing attacks. Securesignupoffers.net's most significant presence in these campaigns, which may imitate legitimate banking sites and other companies to acquire your personal information, was several years ago. Considering Securesignupoffers.net's past, malware researchers recommend thinking twice before giving Securesignupoffers.net or companies associated with Securesignupoffers.net any confidential data, particularly data pertaining to your finances or identity. However, Securesignupoffers.net's past doesn't necessarily indicate that the same criminals or hoaxes are used at present, and its registered owner does appear to have changed hands since the last verified phishing attacks took place.

Securesignupoffers.net: Making an Offer that You can Refuse

Pushy sales tactics used by Securesignupoffers.net or associated PC threats tend to include pop-up flood advertisements and browser redirects, the latter of which are especially a drawback to your Web browser's security. If you have any problems deleting Securesignupoffers.net hijackers, adware or other low-level PC threats, you should consider using reputable brands of anti-malware tools to remove them without any further trouble. As always, ignoring the browser's symptoms, switching browsers or trying to combat the symptoms without removing the guilty software is discouraged by malware researchers.

Companies that use spam and other seedy means of acquiring traffic may be associated with hoaxes and other crimes that could endanger their customers, but these dangers may not be obvious on an initial glance. When considering new hosting companies like those promoted by Securesignupoffers.net, you also should consider their reputations in the industry. Although paying for a poor service rarely may damage your computer, it will cost you time and funds that should have been used up on finding a superior alternative in the marketplace.
