Firseria Ads

By GoldSparrow in Adware

The Firseria program is categorized as adware due to it being used to inflate page ranks, facilitate fake user clicks on advertisements and boost traffic to supported pages. The Firseria adware is distributed through means of software bundling where seemingly safe free applications include hidden components. There are free software bundles on the Web that may not disclose all components that the users are offered to install with the 'Standard' and 'Recommended' software setup. Free media players, browser extensions from unofficial sources, and shopping helpers often include hidden components like the Firseria adware to make a profit from unwary users.

The Firseria adware is observed to create a folder under the AppData directory and add the process 'wirelesskeyview.exe' to the list of startup programs on Windows. The Firseria adware may appear in the 'Control Panel' as 'inst4ll·3x3' and feature the product description ' Setup Manager.' Some of the Firseria variants we have gathered include invalid digital signatures from companies called 'PortalProgramas' and 'Rapiddown.' The Firseria adware is designed to launch hidden instances of Internet Explorer and click on advertisements. In some cases, the Firseria adware may run a Web proxy service and load certain pages multiple times to simulate unique user visits. Having the Firseria adware installed on your system may cause slow browser performance, increase startup times and unwanted pop-up windows. It is recommended to use an anti-malware utility and remove the Firseria adware safely. AV companies use the following detection names for files utilized by the Firseria adware:
