Malicious ads

Kidsmovies.co is one of many movie pirating sites. People use pirating sites to watch TV and movies for convenience (no need to hop from site to site to get access to exclusives) and to save money.

The problem with pirating sites (besides them being illegal) is that they’re full of pop-up ads, redirects, and notifications promoting dangerous websites. While Kidsmovies.co looks neat and tidy at first, it doesn’t take long to notice all the shady ads.

So, Kidsmovies.co is free to use and is supported by advertisements. But the ads are often risky and promote potentially unsafe products and websites. Kidsmovies.co is aimed at children, but you may not want to have children to be exposed to the ads that Kidsmovies.co shows:

• Ads for gambling/gaming sites. These ads often promise free spins, a credit for joining, and do not display warnings or age checks. In fact, some gambling sites use colorful and exciting images that children might like.
• Ads for adult games. When you open Kidsmovies.co, cartoon softcore porn may not be what you were expecting.
• Fake giveaways that lead to phishing and subscription scams ($1 phone scams, Annual Visitor Survey, etc.).
• Apps and subscriptions paid via SMS.
• Health products and get-rich-quick schemes.
• Notification spammers and browser hijackers (for example, Click-to-read.online pretends to be a video player when advertised on movie streaming sites).
• Malware.
• Fake warnings and messages (they either lead to malware or to porn sites).

Problems with Kidsmovies.co ads

Do not allow a child to use Kidsmovies.co alone because they’ll be exposed to a bunch of intentionally deceptive and predatory ads. Or, at least, don’t let the child access your credit card or a phone.

Here are some examples of how ads on Kidsmovies.co try to make money:

• Ads lead to sites that ask you to send an SMS to, supposedly, play a movie. The SMS actually signs you up for a subscription for a small but recurring payment.
• Sites advertised on Kidsmovies.co ask for your credit card info, even when they promise that they’re free to use. Some begin charging a monthly subscription a few days after signing up.
• Health products and get-rich-quick schemes use made-up stories and very misleading examples to entice you to sign up (for instance, the Mydailytips.net site had a lot of articles like that).
• Notification spammers and malicious browser extensions earn money by injecting ads into your browser.
• Malicious programs include tech support scams, crypto miners, spyware, and adware.

The kinds of ads that Kidsmovies.co shows are common on various controversial sites. They tend to get rejected by normal sites and ad networks as they’re disruptive and often legitimately dangerous. If a big website shows scam ads, it’ll get the blame for all the people who get scammed.

Kidsmovies.co, though? It’s already illegal, why concern itself with reputation? Besides, legitimate advertisers often want to stay away from illegal websites, so it’s not like Kidsmovies.co’s operators have any choice.

How to avoid ads by Kidsmovies.co

Sites like Kidsmovies.co, Princessmovies.org, Peliculasdeprincesas.net, and others should be used responsibly, with the awareness that they allow predatory and deceptive ads that lead to scams and to adult content.

Use an ad blocker to block pop-ups and redirects and an anti-malware tool to disable malicious sites. If you can, consider using a legal website to watch movies on, as legal sites have much better quality (safer) ads – or no ads at all.

Ad blockers and anti-malware tools aren’t perfect and they do not catch all the malicious sites. So, it is important to remain very careful:

• Watch the URLs (site addresses). If Kidsmovies.co takes you to a different site, be aware of that. Some ads pretend to be video players in order to trick you into downloading malware or revealing private information.
• Be patient and take your time. Most malicious ads are harmless as long as you don’t follow their instructions. They’re more scams than malware. So, don’t lose your head.
• Some scams and malicious sites try to trick you with fake urgency and deceptive messages. If something seems suspicious, close the site. Even if it seems like you’re in the middle of an important process, know that you can always quit.

You can protect your computer from adware and malware with an antivirus program, like Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, Malwarebytes, and others.

It’s impossible to avoid all malware. To protect yourself, make a backup of all of your files (stay safe against ransomware like Vpsh that likes to hide in pirated files), use 2-factor authentication (if your passwords are stolen by spyware, you’ll be warned), and monitor your credit card account for suspicious charges (if something is wrong, call your bank).
