Posted: January 14, 2014

Shuang11miandan.com is a Web domain with a record of being involved in recurring spam-related activities. Although visiting Shuang11miandan.com directly isn't likely to cause any harm to you (or, for that matter, your computer), Shuang11miandan.com should be regarded as an untrustworthy domain, and, under normal circumstances, any programs that are affiliated with Shuang11miandan.com should be uninstalled. As a particular warning, since these spam campaigns have been responsible for delivering high-level PC threats to unprotected systems, malware researchers especially advise against installing software that's delivered through Shuang11miandan.com-related e-mail messages or other content.

The Refreshing Taste of Online Spam

Shuang11miandan.com is a site that, while most likely targeted at China and neighboring regions, also has been found delivering spam to French-speaking nations. Shuang11miandan.com is a probable partner, clone or backup of a similar spam domain, Shuang11huodong.com, both of which have been listed in multiple blacklists for their indulgences in spam-related activities. However, malware researchers are happy to report that, at least, Shuang11miandan.com is not designed to deliver other PC threats to computers that load Shuang11miandan.com directly. Passing, non-interactive contact with Shuang11miandan.com is unwise but not necessarily an immediate threat to your PC.

Despite its name being based in part on a Chinese term for 'refreshing,' Shuang11miandan.com appears to be delivering content that's more aggravating than anything else. Spam e-mail and other broadly-distributed, copy-pasted content from Shuang11miandan.com may be a source of Trojan installers, adware or other PC threats, which may be disguised. Popular, effective disguises malware experts have seen spam-related PC threats utilize include:

  • File attachments supposedly sent by a reputable bank, hotel, game company or other institution. These compromised attachments usually are placed in ZIP format, or other compressed archives, which may confuse some simplistic PC security defenses. They always are mislabeled as updates, invoices, reports or other types of benign content, and often use erroneous file types, such as labeling an EXE file as a DOC.
  • Phishing attacks for stealing private information or even money. These attacks often are formatted as personalized requests from foreign dignitaries or banks, as in the infamous Nigerian tax-transferral fraud.
  • As the job market has struggled, threat authors and other criminals also have noticed the increase in unemployed and underemployed individuals. This has led in an increase in 'work from home' hoaxes. They often require hidden, upfront expenditures for promises of pay that never arrive.
  • Fake financial management services, such as too-good-to-be-true debt relief programs or get-rich-quick investments.

Getting Safely Away from a Spam Strategy

Shuang11miandan.com isn't inherently unsafe to visit, but may endanger your computer through its delivery of occasionally illegal content. All file downloads, 'official' communications and any other form of contact with your PC that has an identifiable connection with Shuang11miandan.com should be treated as probably fraudulent. In most cases, the promotion of fake business services, theft of your private information or installation of harmful software are the goals behind spammed content.

If your browser struggles with regular contact with Shuang11miandan.com, or any other spam site, malware researchers would rate it likely that your browser has become compromised by unwanted add-ons or threats. The effective deletion of these PC threats can be handled through any competent anti-malware program, as long as you maintain your software always updated and use Safe Mode to minimize the external factors that could affect an anti-malware scan.
