Do you know what Blogingt.net is?
Blogingt.net is a domain via which adware (advertising-supported software) redirects users to promote third-party content. The user is redirected to sites that are based on the location. For example, if you live anywhere in the United States, you will be redirected to US-based websites. Most users realize that something is wrong as soon as they notice unauthorized redirected to third-party sites that usually show suspicious advertisements, pornographic content, surveys, etc. Of course, some users might be exposed to content they are intrigued by, and that is extremely dangerous. Legitimate sites and services do not use unreliable and malicious adware servers to expose users to their content, and so it is most likely that the parties associated with this specific adware server are unreliable and possibly malicious. So, how do you stop the unauthorized redirecting? You might have to remove Blogingt.net-related malware.
If you enter Blogingt.net into your browser’s address bar, http://blogingt.net/news/ is opened. This site does not have a Privacy Policy or other legal information representing it, and so it is clearly unreliable. The поиск в интернете tag – which translates to “search on the Internet” – is displayed along with a search dialog box. If you enter queries into this box, you are redirected to Google Search. Do NOT interact with these search results because they are modified and include potentially unreliable sponsored links. Blogingt.net also displays a bunch of news articles, all of which have been stolen from other sites. Overall, it is unlikely that anyone will be redirected to this home page. Instead, you are likely to be redirected to a page with a 5 letter-combination at the end of the link (e.g., http://blogingt.net/abcde). This unique combination might be used by specific ad-supported programs, and this might help the developer of the adware server to collect money from the creators of this adware for redirecting services.
It is not entirely clear which infections can employ Blogingt.net to redirect users, but we have to consider hijackers, adware, malicious extensions, etc. The same thing can be said about Newcityinworld.ru and Toptonews.net, both of which can be used as adware servers as well. If you have no clue as to what kind of malicious infections might be responsible for this mess, we suggest installing a reputable malware scanner to do a quick examination. Once it is done, you will know exactly which threats you need to delete from your operating system. The scanner will also identify the threats that might have slithered into your computer when you interacted with the malicious content shown to you. If you have not downloaded software, think if maybe you have disclosed personal information or did anything else that could jeopardize your virtual security. Hopefully, there’s still time to strengthen your virtual security.
Our research team has created instructions that might help you delete Blogingt.net-related infections. The guide includes the elimination of malicious extensions, the resetting of the browser, and the removal of unwanted Startup items.
