The Redirectsmart.net domain as well as Smartnewtab.com are managed by Adsterra Advertising Network and may be abused by third parties to claim pay-per-install revenue. Redirectsmart.net and Smartnewtab.com are used to monetize the installation of badware like eFix Pro and Zip Enhancer. PC users that are infected with a browser hijacking application may experience pop-up windows from Redirectsmart.net and Smartnewtab.com. Security investigators report that browser hijacking applications may be deployed to users to boost the Web traffic to domains like Redirectsmart.net and Smartnewtab.com. The browser hijacker at hand is programmed to connect to the 198.134.112.237 IP address and may generate dynamic Web content via pop-up windows in the browser. Most browser hijackers may use sites like Redirectsmart.net and Smartnewtab.com as redirect-gateways to sponsored pages.

Users may notice that Redirectsmart.net/Smartnewtab.com may be loaded during the first one or two seconds, and then another domain that may host ads, coupons, promotional images, and software may be loaded. The browser hijacker at hand may use data about your PC like IP address, software, and hardware configuration, as well as your recent Internet history to generate custom-made content. The Smartnewtab.com and Redirectsmart.net pop-up windows may direct users to install fake updates to their drivers and potentially unwanted software. Needless to say, the Smartnewtab.com and Redirectsmart.net pop-ups may lead to diminished system performance and program crashes. Browser hijacking applications may be hard to detect because most of them may run as portable apps and utilize executable DLLs to avoid detection. You should place your trust in a reputable anti-malware utility that can find and delete all files related to Redirectsmart.net and Smartnewtab.com on your PC.
