Stop browsers from opening yourmobistyle.com
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is yourmobistyle[.]com?
yourmobistyle[.]com redirects visitors to untrustworthy websites. Typically, browsers open websites such as yourmobistyle[.]com when there are potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on them (i.e., people do not visit these sites intentionally).
Furthermore, yourmobistyle[.]com might be opened through other untrustworthy web pages that people willingly or inadvertently visit, or through deceptive advertisements that they click.
Research shows that yourmobistyle[.]com opens web pages that encourage visitors to participate in a fake lottery or claim that they have won a prize. In most cases, these websites attempt to trick people into providing various information so that scammers can misuse it to generate revenue in various ways (for example, by selling it to third parties - potentially, cyber criminals).
Note that yourmobistyle[.]com also opens dubious pages that load dubious content or redirect visitors to a number (about two or three) of other untrustworthy sites. Typically, these sites demand permission to show notifications. If allowed, the notifications will contain deceptive ads, links to potentially malicious pages, and so on.
Furthermore, yourmobistyle[.]com redirects visitors to deceptive web pages (such as "Mac OS X is infected (4) by viruses") designed to trick people into believing that their computers are infected with viruses, and urging them to download/install potentially unwanted applications (such as Mac Cleanup Pro) that supposedly remove the fake virus detections.
Research shows that yourmobistyle[.]com leads to web pages (such as fixheavilyadvancedprogram[.]icu) that offer to update Adobe Flash Player or other legitimate software through fake installers/updaters, which are also designed to install PUAs.
Typically, these installers are used to distribute PUAs including browser hijackers and adware, or even malicious programs such as ransomware andTrojans. By downloading software from pages offering to update software through fake updaters, people risk financial/data loss, installation of high-risk malware, identity theft, problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, and so on.
Therefore, do not trust yourmobistyle[.]com or any website opened through it. We strongly against visiting yourmobistyle[.]com - remove all apps that might be responsible for opening this site as soon as possible.

As mentioned, people do not generally visit yourmobistyle[.]com (or similar pages) intentionally. These sites are opened by PUAs already installed on the browser and/or operating system. People commonly download/install apps of this type accidentally.
How did adware install on my computer?
This usually happens when software developers distribute PUAs using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". They use this technique to trick people into downloading and/or installing unwanted apps together with other (usually regular) software.
Generally, they include PUAs into the download/installation set-ups of other programs, and hide related information in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings.
People often download and/or install unwanted apps through the set-ups of other programs - when they leave the settings unchanged. In some cases, PUAs are downloaded/installed by clicking deceptive ads. If clicked, some ads run scripts that download and install unwanted, potentially malicious software.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
Download programs and files from official websites. Do not use third party downloaders/installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., eMule, torrent clients), dubious websites or other sources/channels. Check download/installation settings such as "Custom" and "Advanced".
Dismiss any offers to download or install unwanted software before finishing the process. If clicked, intrusive ads (especially those displayed on dubious sites) can redirect to potentially malicious pages or cause unwanted downloads/installations. Therefore, never click these ads.
Prevent browsers from causing unwanted redirects and/or showing annoying ads by uninstalling unknown, unwanted and suspicious add-ons, plug-ins or extensions.
Also remove programs of this kind from the operating system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
