247vidz might look like useful tool at first sight, but it is just another malicious application that can infect your computer.

About 247vidz adware
If you take a look at their official website at www.247vidz.com, you can see that the company behind this malware is Top Media Corp LTD, registered in Cyprus. This company is described as content media agency and obviously this add-on is just a tool to promote their products and build bigger audience. While this do not sound as a malicious feature, the tool itself is illegal. You are probably aware of a fact that watching movies and TV series online is a huge violation of copyrights.
247vidz is described as a platform, network like Netflix. Although, we highly doubt that this network has rights to stream content. We have discovered that this service is paid, yet the price of subscription is unknown. You are offered to start a free trial and give it a try. After the trial is over, you will be asked to pay. Premium subscription should allow you to download or view movies online on demand. It will also remove any ads regarding their content and provide accessibility from various platforms.
Why this service is tricky? While signing up for a trial, you will be asked to add your credit card information. When the trial is over, subscription fees will be charged from your account from your account automatically, without even warning you about that. They failed (or did it intentionally) to state this fact, so it can be really frustrating. In addition to that, trail period is only 5 days, so a lot of users can fall for this trick. They provide information about money refund policy, but we doubt that this would actually happen.
What’s even more shocking, 247vidz might steal your money. We are aware of situations where users where left without promised services after paying for subscription. That is scamming and that’s why we suggest to keep away from it.
But why 247vidz is listed as adware? Well, it is operating as browser add-on, it can be added to your web browsers. It might be difficult to get rid of it and you are likely to experience various advertisements on your web browsers. Usually those ads delivered by 247vidz are related to movies and TV series – they are trying to build traffic to the websites they are affiliated with.
