Hums.info

By GoldSparrow in Browser Hijackers

The update packages that are pushed by Hums.info in your Internet browser are not legitimate and may contain rogue security tools like Windows Ultra-Antivirus and Windows Stability Maximizer. Needless to say, installing updates promoted on the Hums.info domain may lead to security problems. Users that have a browser hijacker on their systems may experience pop-up windows loaded with content from Onxzz.Updatenow.Hums.info. The design of the Onxzz.Updatenow.Hums.info Web page is tailored to look like the installer of Adobe Flash Player by Adobe Systems, Inc. and invite users to install an update to their Media Player. The Onxzz.Updatenow.Hums.info pop-ups feature a custom JavaScript that pre-loads the suspicious update package and displays a notification in the bottom left corner of the browser that directs users to click on the install button.

The suspicious update on the Hums.info domain may be promoted as compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8, but you risk installing a harmful program. Security investigators note that Internet giants like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft block access to the Hums.info domain, and only compromised PCs have access to content on Onxzz.Updatenow.Hums.info. Additionally, the browser hijacker linked to Hums.com may display promotional offers from Ebates.com to generate affiliate marketing revenue for its creators. The browser hijacker that is responsible for the Onxzz.Updatenow.Hums.info pop-up windows may change your start page in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, and modify your DNS settings. The proper course of actions is to install a trusted anti-malware suite that can delete the binary related to hums.info on your system.
