Threat Database Browser Hijackers Worldofcontenting.info

Worldofcontenting.info

One of the oldest tricks used con-artists online is pushing fake Adobe Flash Player updates on unsuspecting users. This scheme has been used numerous times over several decades, and it would seem that it still manages to deceive users online.

The Worldofcontenting.info website is likely able to detect the visitor's Web browser. Visitors who are using Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge will be presented with a pop-up window that looks like one that may be spawned by the Windows OS. However, users who are utilizing the Safari Web browser will be redirected to a different page. Operators of such scams make sure they design the pop-ups and fake pages to look as legitimate as they can so that users would not suspect anything. Asking users to download an update for the Adobe Flash Player application is one of the most popular tricks to propagate PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) and malicious software.

We would advise you against downloading updates from any third-party sources. If you want to avoid falling victim to conmen online, make sure you only update your software via its official developers' website. If you have already installed software via the Worldofcontenting.info website, make sure to run an anti-malware scan on your system with the help of a legitimate security tool.
