Uninstall apps downloaded from web pages promoted by videovor.com

Also Known As: Ads by videovor.com
Type: Adware
Damage level: Medium

What is videovor[.]com?

videovor[.]com is one of many websites that offers download of videos from YouTube (even though this is illegal practice). It also uses rogue advertising networks to promote other dubious websites. Typically, web pages such as videovor[.]com open sites that promote potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) such as browser hijackers and adware-type apps.

For these reasons, you should never trust or use videovor[.]com, or other websites of this type.

videovor[.]com pop-up redirects

Research shows that videovor[.]com is used to promote other dubious websites: listenmusic[.]fun and a web page that advertises a PUA called MessengerPlus Download. Note that listenmusic[.]fun is a rogue page designed to load dubious content or open two or three other rogue websites.

There are many websites similar to listenmusic[.]fun online. Some examples are nomadnews[.]club and thediseasetracker[.]com. Generally, people do not visit these sites intentionally. MessengerPlus Download is a potentially unwanted app, which might serve various advertisements, operating as adware.

Apps of this type serve coupons, banners, pop-ups, and surveys, and also collect information relating to users' browsing habits. Commonly, PUAs gather IP addresses, geolocations, addresses of visited pages, entered search queries, and other data of this type. Note that some PUAs are capable of recording sensitive, personal data as well.

The information might be sold third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or misused to generate revenue in other ways. Furthermore, videovor[.]com could open sites promoting browser hijackers, which promote addresses of fake search engines by modifying browser settings and preventing users from undoing the changes made (as long as they are installed on the system).

They can also collect data (as with the aforementioned adware-type apps). Commonly, web pages such as videovor[.]com open other sites that promote dubious apps and also various scam sites. For example, "Your Windows 10 Is Infected With 5 Viruses!" or "International Official Lottery".

These web pages attempt to trick users into installing unwanted software, contacting scammers, or providing private, sensitive information. Therefore, never trust videovor[.]com or web pages that are promoted through it.

Some more examples of web pages that are similar to videovor[.]com include y2mate[.]guru, savethevideo[.]com and youtubetomp3[.]biz. Most contain advertisements and promote rogue websites (by opening them in new tabs or windows) that in turn promote dubious software.

Remove all PUAs from the browser and computer immediately, since they can cause problems such as identity theft, issues relating to browsing safety, online privacy, etc.

How did adware install on my computer?

People often cause unwanted downloads and installations by clicking untrusted, deceptive advertisements that execute certain scripts. This situation is also caused by downloading and installing their required programs without checking settings that are included in the set-ups.

PUAs are often included as 'additional offers', which can be declined through the "Custom", "Advanced" or other settings. Downloading and installing software (especially free software) without checking and changing the default settings, commonly allows additionally-included apps to infiltrate. This PUA distribution method is called "bundling".

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Files and programs should be downloaded only from official websites. Other channels are often used to distribute unwanted, malicious applications. Some examples of dubious download channels are third party downloaders, unofficial websites, free file hosting pages, Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule, etc.).

Third party installers are also untrusted. Do not click intrusive ads, especially if they are displayed on untrusted websites - these can open other pages of this kind or execute scripts that download or install unwanted apps. Within all software setups, decline any offers to download or install unwanted apps.

This can be done through "Advanced", "Custom", or "Manual" settings. Remove any unwanted, suspicious apps (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins) installed on the browser and software of this kind installed on 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.
