Semimedia.ru is a website specialized in launching an endless array of pop-up advertisements every time you browse the Web. The advertisements may be innocuous or potentially threatening, depending on the nature of the promoted subject.
Most of the advertising services on the Web are carried out via legitimate adware programs that ask for your consent to receive targeted advertisements. The trouble comes whenever such a program not only skips this step but also forces you to allow its pop-ups. In that case, we can hardly classify such a tool as legit. That is why Semimedia.ru may not be as safe as we'd all like it to be. The site uses a relatively simple excuse for that prompt, disguising it as a means "to make sure you're not a robot." However, such a scenario may have fallen a bit short – when you want to prove you’re not a robot, you usually need to type a text from a graphic or handpick one or more pictures that have something in common. You are by no means forced to do such stuff, and you should never be, for that matter.
Semimedia.ru may have come from a piece of adware previously installed on your PC. It also may have come from a single click on a sponsored Weblink. The number of banners touting such links may vary from one web page to another. However, more often than not, those banners fill out the entire desktop screen, thus putting a spoke in your wheel at your workplace. To get rid of Semimedia.ru's never-ending advertising spree, you may need to remove the adware that brought it in the first place. It may be a browser addon, a standalone application or a mere browser hijacker. Using a reputable anti-malware tool will help you narrow your search and hunt down what lies at the root of all that mess.
