The Hlpnowp-c.com domain is blacklisted by most Web filtering services like the Websense Web Filter, the Google Safe Browsing and the Mozilla Phishing Protection. Hlpnowp-c.com is registered to the 98.129.229.215 IP address, which is a known infection source. It is more than likely that Hlpnowp-c.com hosts tools like the Infinity Exploit Kit and the RIG Exploit Kit that can be used by third parties to gain remote access to your PC. Most complaints related to the Hlpnowp-c.com domain involve 'Windows Security Notification' pop-up windows that welcome the user to buy and install software. The 'Windows Security Notification' messages might feature the following content:

'Hlpnowp-c.com says:
Windows Security Notification: Your [name of AV vendor] subscription has expired today. Renew to protect your computer from malwares, viruses, and online hackers.'

Except for typos, the 'Windows Security Notification' pop-up message may freeze the user's browser. Pages like Hlpnowp-c.com may be rigged with a bad JavaScript code, which causes browsers like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome to malfunction. PC users may notice security alert from Windows that mentions the following detections:

  • Trojan-Downloader.JS.Iframe.diq; W32/DelfInject.A.gen!Eldorado
  • Trojan.Script.CPY; HTML/ExpKit.Gen2; Win32.Worm.Viking.IZ
  • HTML/Framer; Trojan/JS.Iframe.ma; Win32:Delf-DDS [Trj]
  • Trojan.Script.Iframe.dzfjls; NetworkWorm.FZD

These detections are taken from legitimate AV software that can protect the user from threats hosted on Hlpnowp-c.com. However, you should remain calm if the 'Windows Security Notification' pop-up uses audio notification and freezes your Internet client. Researchers add that the Hlpnowp-c.com domain may be used to show malvertising and welcome users to participate in fake lotteries that may ask for their phone number, contact information and credit card number. Needless to say, the download of software from Hlpnowp-c.com is not recommended. Ads and promotions at Hlpnowp-c.com should not be trusted as well if you wish to keep your data safe. Experts advise users to employ the services of a credible anti-spyware shield as an additional layer of protection against attacks via Hlpnowp-c.com.
