What does Secure.calcch.com redirect do

As you may understand now, Secure.calcch.com redirect is a type of virus, that does not have any content itself, only appears for a second and quickly diverts its victim to some landing site with a product/service which has an Affiliate link, which brings profit to its developers. Currently, not many antivirus programs detect Secure.calcch.com redirect as a dangerous site, yet the VirusTotal.com scan shows that there are a couple products which recognize its phishing activities. And for a good reason, because a website that has no content being able to generate a traffic of more than 24 million people per month, definitely does not sound right.

Secure.calcch.com redirect despite having so many visitors is rather simple and does not demonstrate many malicious qualities like other viruses. But it does not need to because the more people you can get to use your link, click on your ad and etc. the more money you make. Clearly, 24 million users seem to be a significant number which can bring lots of revenue to the crooks. The only danger about Secure.calcch.com virus is that it allows Third-party ads and deals to directly reach the user, meaning that these untrustworthy companies can easily Place malware under their eye-catching offers. 

The dangers of infecting your computer with sophisticated ransomware, hijackers, miners or trojans together with the annoying transfers to some online promotions instead of the desired sites, is enough of a reason to take your computer’s well-being and security into your hands and take care of the occurring issue. Removing Secure.calcch.com virus is especially important for those who handle sensitive information through their browsers, like making payments online, working remotely, contacting clients and etc. (How adware can harm your PC)

What causes Secure.calcch.com redirect virus

At the moment the most traffic to Secure.calcch.com comes from India, Mexico, United States, Brazil, and Egypt, meaning that there might be some local websites, which allow certain advertising networks to place promotions, which contain a redirect to Secure.calcch.com. Actually, the top referrals, according to the SimilarWeb.com traffic analysis are from the online video sharing-watching sites like imperioseries.net, seuseriado.com, assistirseriados.net, facturaticket.mx, cinetux.to which are filled with PopCash, PopAds, AdRight, Infolinks, traffic.club network ads. Some other directly referring web pages also redirecting viruses, eg. bvadtgs.scdn1.secure.raxcdn.com, adsrt.com, letsupdateourdomain.com, tbidvzc.com or ouo.io. Such viruses can end up redirecting to one another several times and before you land on the final page, you can visit more than 3 or more different domains.

But that is not the only reason why you might be seeing Secure.calcch.com in your URL. The root cause can easily be a potentially unwanted program, more specifically adware, which are paid to redirect its own victims to Secure.calcch.com. This malware could have been installed together with some recently downloaded software update, bundle or installer. It is not clear which adware exactly is causing the reroutes, (possible variants are Dipladoks.org, Maxi Buy, FireQuestions), but most likely it sneaked in after you ran a Setup Assistant in the Recommended mode. That is why we always suggest our readers picking the Custom/Advanced settings despite them taking longer, where at least you can alter your choices and opt-out of all additional unwanted apps.
