WebDiagnosis.com

WebDiagnosis.com is a health information website that currently appears to be under construction, considering its current lack of major content or meaningful answers to the numerous health questions that WebDiagnosis.com poses. Although, at least WebDiagnosis.com isn't unsafe to your PC, malware researchers have noted some cases of browser hijacks and adware-related attacks in WebDiagnosis.com's history. Attacks that promote WebDiagnosis.com or other unknown sites by forcing your browser to load them never should be considered anything less than a security issue for your PC, and deleting WebDiagnosis.com hijackers with suitable anti-malware products always is a good Internet security practice.

The Web Physician that Invites Himself into Your Browser

WebDiagnosis.com is built as a community forum and general purpose information resource for those looking for medical information, but currently doesn't load very little informational content and can't be considered a useful resource for medical advice until much of its content has been fleshed out sometime in the future. Along with this general dearth of meaningful content, malware researchers haven't found any cases of WebDiagnosis.com used to attack visiting PCs or promote PC threats of any type, and visiting WebDiagnosis.com shouldn't be a threatening activity.

As the Internet's equivalent of a book with a title and chapter headings but no story inside the pages, WebDiagnosis.com would be beneath the notice of malware researchers – except for its inclusion in recent attacks by low-level PC threats, such as browser hijackers and adware. These attacks are known for symptoms often encompassing:

• Redirects to WebDiagnosis.com from other sites.
• Changes to your default search or homepage settings to force you to use WebDiagnosis.com.
• WebDiagnosis.com-related pop-ups, injected links or other Web content that's displayed on unrelated Web pages.

Since the software associated with these attacks isn't restricted to any one type of browser add-on or other product, WebDiagnosis.com attacks like the ones listed here may be your first clear indication of the presence of browser hijackers or adware on your computer.

Beating the Cyber Sickness of Health-Promoting Malware

Even though WebDiagnosis.com currently has no hazardous content that would endanger you or your PC, any attack that takes control of your browser to redirect you to WebDiagnosis.com should be considered a security problem, by default. Adware and WebDiagnosis.com hijackers, as low-level PC threats, may be removed easily with anti-malware products that have any kind of basic system-scanning capabilities. However, you also should be alert to the potential for other PC threats also being installed, which is why trying to delete these PC threats manually isn't recommended, in most cases.

Distribution models for the kinds of low-level PC threats related to WebDiagnosis.com problems often use software bundles that hide unwanted 'extra' programs. As usual, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers emphasize the proper place of safe Web-browsing habits as an essential defense against either of these types of infection vectors.

As a last note, because of WebDiagnosis.com's strong similarity to RehabMatters.com and other Web domains closely associated with e-mail spam, you also should be on the lookout for unsolicited e-mail messages promoting this site. As always, such e-mail messages should be deleted without any interaction as a basic PC safety measure.
