Jumpers.mobi POP-UP Redirect
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is jumpers.mobi?
jumpers.mobi is a rogue website that is identical to many other sites (such as nametraff.com, thesterminator.com, and celeryleek.com) of this type.
These sites redirect from one rogue site to another. Users are likely to to visit jumpers.mobi inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without users' consent. They can cause redirects, but also deliver intrusive ads and collect information relating to browsing habits (and other data).
Once a PUP such as this has infiltrated your system, it starts opening new browser windows or tabs and redirects to the jumpers.mobi rogue website, which then causes redirects to other untrustworthy websites (typically 2-3). It is likely that one of these sites will contain malicious content.
Potentially unwanted programs also tend to provide intrusive ads, such as coupons, banners, pop-ups, and so on. They can also redirect to dubious (potentially malicious) sites on which scripts might be executed to trigger installation/download of malicious software. As you can see, even a single click might lead to various computer infections.
Furthermore, intrusive ads are usually delivered using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site. They often conceal underlying website content, thereby diminishing the overall browsing experience.
If there is a potentially unwanted program installed on your computer, it will probably collect information (IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, queries entered into search engines, etc.) that contains personal details. Collected information is later shared with third parties (potentially cyber criminals) so that PUP developers can use it to generate revenue.
The presence of data-tracking apps can thus cause various problems, including privacy issues. If you have a PUP installed, you are strongly advised to uninstall it immediately.

All adware-type PUPs are virtually identical - most claim to provide "useful functionality" (tools or features), however, these promises are merely attempts to give the impression of legitimacy. They are designed only to generate revenue and will not deliver any real value for regular users.
How did adware install on my computer?
Some PUPs have official download websites, however, due to lack of knowledge and careless behaviour, many users install PUPs inadvertently without their consent. There are many cases whereby developers use a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" - stealth installation of PUPs with regular programs.
Developers conceal PUP installations by hiding these bundled programs within "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar options/settings of the installation processes.
Furthermore, many users skip the installation steps by quickly clicking "Next" (or another similar button) and inadvertently allow installation of unwanted programs. They are also likely to click tempting advertisements while browsing. These unnoticed bundled programs and clicked intrusive ads lead to inadvertent installation of PUPs.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
As mentioned above, careless behaviour usually leads to installation of potentially unwanted programs. Do not skip software installation steps and check all available "Custom", "Advanced, and other similar options/settings of the installation processes. This also applies to checkboxes that are ticked by default.
Download software from official sources only, and avoid using third party software downloaders/installers or torrents. Be aware that many intrusive ads appear legitimate, but they are easy to identify, since they typically lead to dubious websites (pornography, adult dating, gambling, and so on).
If you experience these redirects, immediately quit the website and check all installed extensions/add-ons on your browser. If you find any suspicious or unwanted applications of this type, uninstall them immediately. Finally, have antivirus software installed and keep it enabled at all times.
If your computer is already infected with jumpers.mobi, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this adware.
