Threat Database Adware Linkvertise.com

Linkvertise.com

Linkvertise.com is the address of a file-sharing service. While the underlying business may be legitimate, users should be cautious when landing on this page - Linkvertise.com uses rogue advertising networks to deliver questionable ads or open dubious websites in the user's browser. Cybercriminals have also been known to rely on file-sharing websites to host and distribute malware threats.

If users do not pay for a premium linkvertise account, they risk exposing themselves to various security risks. To download a file, free users will need to install the Chump browser hijacker, or a similar PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). In addition, they will have to subscribe to the site's push notification and engage with the delivered advertisements. It is strongly recommended to not follow any of the above instructions.

The ads delivered upon visiting the page, generated by the PUPs it pushes, or as part of its notifications should all be regarded as highly suspicious. They could lead to scam pages, phishing schemes, fake giveaways, and more. In addition, users could be taken to domains spreading numerous other PUPs.
