What is mobilemediahits[.]com?

Mobilemediahits[.]com is an untrusted web page containing deceptive content and promoting other untrusted pages.

Generally, users do not open/visit pages such as mobilemediahits[.]com intentionally - they are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on browsers/computers, through clicked deceptive ads, and via bogus websites. PUAs can gather various data and generate advertisements.

When mobilemediahits[.]com is visited, it opens about two or three other bogus websites. For example, scam websites such as "Norton Antivirus 2021 Update", download pages for adware, browser hijackers, etc.

mobilemediahits[.]com can also display dubious content. What mobilemediahits[.]com does when visited depends on its visitors' geolocations.

mobilemediahits[.]com and pages that it is used to promote should not be trusted.

mobilemediahits[.]com and similar sites use 'clickbait' techniques to trick their visitors into allowing them to show notifications. Mobilemediahits[.]com gives the impression that it cannot load a video unless the "Allow" button is clicked. When users click the button, they allow the site to show notifications containing deceptive advertisements, promote dubious, potentially malicious websites, and so on. Therefore, untrusted websites should never be allowed to show notifications.

Commonly, apps promoting pages such as mobilemediahits[.]com gather data and and display advertisements.

Most PUAs target browsing-related information such as IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, URLs of visited/opened pages, and so on. Some PUAs are capable of accessing personal/sensitive information. Developers use the details for marketing purposes, sell it to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals), or monetize them in other ways.

Examples of advertisements that PUAs serve are coupons, banners, surveys, and pop-ups. Clicking on these ads allows them to execute scripts designed to cause unwanted download/installations or open potentially malicious websites.

In summary, mobilemediahits[.]com is an untrusted web page. Browsers that open these websites often have PUAs installed.

PUAs are useless to regular users and designed only to generate revenue for the developers by promoting dubious pages, gathering user-system information, and generating advertisements. Most users download and install apps PUAs inadvertently.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are often downloaded/installed together with other products. This deceptive marketing technique of pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling".

By rushing through download/installation of software (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using "Quick/Express" settings, etc.) many users risk unintentionally allowing bundled content into their devices. Intrusive advertisements proliferate PUAs as well. When clicked, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without users' permission.

Some PUAs have "official" download web pages from which they can be downloaded.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Download software and files from official websites and via direct links. It is not safe to use torrent clients, eMule (or other Peer-to-Peer networks), third party downloaders, unofficial websites or other sources of this kind.

Avoid third party installers. Check "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings, and decline offers to download or install unwanted software. Do not click ads that are displayed on dubious websites, since they can open other untrusted websites or even cause unwanted downloads and installations.

Remove any unwanted, suspicious applications (extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins) that are installed on the browser. The same should be applied to programs of this kind that are installed on the operating system.

Regularly scan your computer with reputable antivirus or anti-spyware software and keep this software up to date.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
