However, there are such domains like Facetrack.aptitudemedia.co, Comtrack.aptitudemedia.co, Youtubetrack.aptitudemedia.co and Gmail.aptitudemedia.co.

Deceptive message such as this does not mean anything positive. In fact, it is a sign of a malware infection which should be taken care as much as possible. Spyhunter will deal with malicious parasites in no time, meaning that you won’t have to find a source of harmful activity yourself. Since we do not know which adware parasite specifically is generating this pop-up, we cannot indicate which tool should be deleted.

Nevertheless, you can take a look at the active programs and processes in Windows Task Manager. If you spot anything out of place, check whether that application is not labeled as a malware threat. Remove the unwanted software with the instructions below. Please bear in mind that you should not be oblivious to the activity that happens around you.

During browsing, always pay attention to the amount of displayed advertisements. For instance, if you AdBlocker is active and some promotional material manages to slip in, you are either compromised by viruses or have visited a dangerous website. Lastly, keep the number of freeware tools to a minimum. During their installation, select advanced/custom modes and be certain that no recommended apps would be given permission to be installed.
