More information about this domain and its advertised apps

According to global ratings, Medianetnow.com is the 4,930th website in the world, while its rank is more impressive in the United States, since 22.6% of its visitors are from this country. People from India, Pakistan and Egypt are other countries that appear to be one of the prevailing visitors of this domain too. Most of these visitors are automatically redirected to this domain either due to their poor browsing habits or an infection.

The fact that you are seeing advertisements from this site could indicate two things: first, your computer is showing signs of an infection with an adware application. The second possibility is that you are visiting domains that have agreed to regularly promote such domains like Medianetnow.com.

The company of WowMovix is not unfamiliar to us: we investigated its search engine back in winter of 2016. Its products have been categorized as browser hijackers since those extensions can be covertly installed into operating systems. Even though users won’t be informed about the installation processes (most of the time), they will give consent for the extension to read and modify the content of visited domains and for the browsers’ preferences to be replaced by Movie.eanswers.com, which is related with a sample called Games.eanswers.com.

Home pages, main search engine, start tab pages could be assigned to direct you to the website, controlled by WowMovix. It would be beneficial if users were to avoid downloading applications that have been generated by this producer as most of its products include unwanted side effects. One of the most frequently mentioned inconveniences is that users are forced to encounter unwanted third-party content that a browser hijacker is constantly generating.

This is when situation becomes a little tricky: you are seeing Medianetnow.com pop-up because your operating system is being influenced by an ad-based application that aims to make profit for its owners. However, the promoted applications can infect you with a browser hijacker parasite which will invade your set preferences. Controllers of the website do not indicate that their endorsed applications will be free from viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other harmful properties. As expected, the website does not intend to show any liability for its activity. All interactions that are done by users are done without any warranties from the Medianetnow.com representatives.

It is clear that some objectionable sources are currently affecting your device if pop-ups such as these are being constantly delivered. Do not respond to invitations to participate in online surveys or recommendations to scan your operating system. Such online material (in forms of pop-ups) is very frequently the source of malware and other viruses.

To check the security status of your PC or laptop, download an anti-malware tool like Spyhunter or Plumbytes. They will give you all the necessary information and make sure that your device would not be overrun by infections.

Endorsements for the products we have mentioned before could be done during your browsing activities. Pop-ups from unknown websites could be brought to you, but you should be resistant to interact with them. It is best to close the new window and move on. Remember that you should not consider getting applications or browser extension from developers that do not have the best interest in security. If a company has negative evaluations from security researchers, we hope that this shall serve as a clear identification of a poor-quality program.
