Tumri.net

The Tumri.net domain is part of a scheme that uses browser hijackers to redirect computer users to this and other websites. Browser hijackers and other components typically used in these types of sneaky marketing schemes are used to generate advertisement revenue by forcing the computer user to visit websites like Tumri.net, which are set up explicitly to display advertisements, sponsored search results and promote affiliate marketing schemes. ESG malware analysts warn users of popular Web browser on the Windows operating system to beware of these types of schemes. Browsers affected by browser hijackers linked to Tumri.net include Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Rather than providing quality content, marketers rely on these types of harmful components to drive traffic to Tumri.net and the countless similar websites that are used to carry out these types of scams. Do not let a third party force you to visit Tumri.net repeatedly; use a strong anti-malware program to scan and disinfect your computer instead.

Tumri.net Redirects Are Associated with PUP Infections

Harmful components associated with Tumri.net redirects, pop-up windows and other symptoms are typically known as PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). These types of components are not harmful enough to be considered threats, Trojans or viruses, and can often be removed far easier than these types of infections. However, they often have characteristics that are more usually related with threats than with genuine software. For example, they may interfere with your normal use of the infected computer or affect your computer's performance. Most importantly, PUPs associated with Tumri.net may expose you to other types of threats.

How PUPs Linked to Tumri.net Are Distributed

The most common types of PUPs associated with Tumri.net are Web browser toolbars, extensions or add-ons that are often bundled with free software. Freeware is often bundled with these types of components as a way of generating revenue. This is technically legal because computer users can choose to install it. However, distributors who do this typically make it difficult for computer users to opt out of the installation of the PUP. Because of this, ESG malware researchers strongly advise computer users to take care when installing new software on their computer and to always double check to make sure that only the components you want to install have been selected.
