Softstan.com

Softstan.com is a suspicious website that through the use of associated adware and browser hijackers may display a bogus pop-up 'Please Install the HD Video Player (Recommended)' message on a computer. If a PC user clicks on the phony pop-up window from Softstan.com in a Web browser, the computer system may be contaminated with potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), adware, browser hijackers, unwanted add-ons, plug-ins, browser extensions, and even malware threats. If the fake pop-up notification of Softstan.com emerges on the PC, the computer user might have possibly clicked on a link, which unwillingly diverted him to Softstan.com. The misleading alert of Softstan.com may also indicate that the computer system has been already affected by adware or PUPs. The tricky notification from Softstan.com does not pertain to a legitimate update of the HD Video Player. If the PC user clicks the 'Remind Me Later' or 'Install' button in the Softstan.com pop-up message, he may unknowingly install additional PUPs, adware or even malware infections on the computer system.
