Tracktrk.net

Tracktrk.net is a Web domain that's known for being involved in adware pop-up campaigns, as well as redirects to unsafe sites involved in a colorful variety of illegal activities. Just as the friend of your friend also should be your friend, malware experts rate sites that redirect to corrupted domains also to be unsafe, and recommend stringent avoidance of any contact with Tracktrk.net. Redirects to Tracktrk.net, Tracktrk.net pop-ups or other signs of exposure to Tracktrk.net always should be resolved by using dependable anti-malware solutions and software.

The Web Tracker that Sends Your Browser on a Ride to Disaster

Tracktrk.net appears to be serving the role of an advertising tracking domain that uses cookies to monitor traffic before redirecting them on to content from other Web domains. Unlike legitimate tracking servers that are in use by major advertisement networks, Tracktrk.net is mostly associated with low-level PC threats, such as browser hijackers, that redirect your browser to Tracktrk.net after you click on unrelated Web page elements (such as hyperlinks). In many cases, malware researchers' analysis would stop there, but Tracktrk.net has a little more than that in its history.

Tracktrk.net also is noted for redirecting visitors to a sub-domain of tracking101.com. This site has a wealth of history in phishing attacks that try to steal private information and spamming campaigns. Quite appropriately, tracking101.com has been blacklisted by numerous anti-spam and anti-virus companies. Unfortunately, malware researchers have confirmed that most PC security companies haven't caught up to Tracktrk.net as an affiliated domain, and most blacklists don't include Tracktrk.net.

Trekking Your Way from the Dangers that Tracktrk.net Holds

Even though most PC threats that redirect your browser are happy to provide harmless advertisements or other inoffensive content, Tracktrk.net hijackers, adware and other programs that show Tracktrk.net-promoting symptoms must be treated as dangers to your PC. Preventing any additional contact with Tracktrk.net should be your first order of business, and malware researchers would recommend restarting your computer in Safe Mode to remove your Tracktrk.net hijacker through dedicated anti-malware utilities. Until then, any information given to business partners of Tracktrk.net or services promoted through Tracktrk.net should be treated as potentially in criminal hands, with all the usual risks, such as identify theft.

PC users who block scripts and untrustworthy advertisements will find their browsers somewhat better protected against attacks through Tracktrk.net than a typical Web surfer. However, since contact with Tracktrk.net usually is the fault of a previous security compromise, preventing the installation of a browser hijacker or other PC threat by any usual method is your priority. Malware experts still are attempting to isolate suspected infection vectors, but have been able to confirm that these attacks have been ongoing since December of 2013.
