What kind of page is mp3fromyou[.]tube?

Mp3fromyou[.]tube is an untrustworthy website, which our research team found when inspecting rogue advertising networks. This site offers the illegal service of converting YouTube videos (via links) to downloadable MP3 audio files.

In addition to breaking copyright laws, visiting/using mp3fromyou[.]tube also poses certain threats. This website uses rogue advertising networks, which cause redirects to other suspicious and dangerous pages. Mp3fromyou[.]tube also requests visitors to allow its browser notifications that it uses for ad spam.

Mp3fromyou[.]tube overview

Sites that employ rogue advertising networks can force-open various webpages when visitors enter them. Or these websites can require user interaction (e.g., clicking buttons, links, ads, etc.) to cause such redirects. When we attempted to select the field into which the YouTube video URL (which was to be converted into an MP3 file) had to be pasted, mp3fromyou[.]tube caused a redirect to another page.

We also observed mp3fromyou[.]tube displaying full-page pop-up windows. One of these promoted a "Powerful Free VPN App"; this is noteworthy because adverts of this kind are commonly used to promote adware, browser hijackers, fake anti-viruses, PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications), and other dubious software.

Another thing worth noting is that sites that use such networks may host (or redirect to pages hosting) intrusive advertisements capable of stealthily downloading/installing software upon being clicked.

Furthermore, if visitors enable mp3fromyou[.]tube to display browser notifications - it will use them to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered notifications/ads are known to promote unreliable/dangerous sites and applications, online scams, and even malware.

It must be emphasized that any legitimate content encountered through rogue advertising networks or spam browser notifications - is unlikely to be promoted in this manner by genuine developers. Typically, these advertising techniques are used by scammers abusing affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How to avoid visiting rogue websites?

Visiting sites that employ rogue advertising networks is ill-advised. Torrenting, illegal streaming, pirated media download, as well as other websites offering questionable services - are known to use such advertising networks.

However, these webpages can be accessed unintentionally. They are often promoted by spam browser notifications. To avoid receiving unwanted notifications, the consent options ("Allow, "Allow Notifications", etc.) on dubious sites must not be clicked. Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying them ("Block, "Block Notifications", etc.).

Furthermore, rogue pages can be pushed by adware, either through its advertisements or force-opened by an affected browser. Therefore, we advise researching products and downloading from official/verified sources - to prevent inadvertently allowing harmful software into the system. It is just as important to exercise caution when installing, i.e., reading terms, using "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opting-out of all additions.

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