Flvto.biz

Flvto.biz is a website that allows users to enter a YouTube link and then download the chosen video in a specified format - mp3, mp4, avi, etc. While this is a convenient service, after all, we all wanted to have unrestricted access to one of our favorite YouTube clips, users should keep in mind that doing so could be illicit, depending on their national laws. Furthermore, the Flvto.biz site monetizes the traffic it gets via advertising networks that could deliver questionable or unsafe content to users ultimately. 

The displayed advertising materials could rely on clickbait messages to lure users into clicking on them. Afterward, through forced redirects, they could take the users to dubious third-party websites. Among the common destinations are phishing pages dedicated to collecting all information entered into them. They could pretend to be conducting a lucrative giveaway or another suspiciously profitable undertaking. Users also could land on pages for various technical support tactics. 

Other websites could attempt to promote or outright download PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) onto the user's device. PUPs are not considered a direct threat to the system but their activities lead to a severely diminished experience when using the affected device. They can conduct intrusive advertising campaigns or take over the web browser's settings to generate artificial traffic towards a sponsored address.
