When you browse the Internet, you are bound to get exposed to a number of potential threats in the shape of pop-up ads and notifications like Gis.driveropen.net. The advertising domains that bring you these ads cannot be considered computer threats, but they still fall into the category of potentially unwanted applications, because they can be exploited by cyber criminals to display messages with corrupted content.

Gis.driveropen.net is one of those advertising platforms that can cause you quite a lot of annoyance when you browse the Internet. However, despite the source of this installation, it is necessary to remove Gis.driveropen.net and all the related applications from the PC to ensure that the system does not get infected with malware.

Not only does Gis.driveropen.net display commercial advertisements, each time you access the Internet, it can also be used by malevolent third parties to display misleading notifications about browser updates and other software discrepancies. For example, it may also interrupt your browsing sessions with the following type of notifications:

Threat Detected: Immediate Action Required
Error type: Fatal Registry Error
Error class: Invalid Entries
Description: This error type is reserved for severely damaged or invalid registries which pose immediate dangers to your computer. Potential privacy risks. System Crashes. Critical Errors.
Repair All

The notification also comes with a Repair All button, which obviously should not be clicked at any costs. It can be inferred that Gis.driveropen.net distributes fake notifications that are related to malware distribution, because by click the button on the aforementioned message, you would risk malware infection, such as rogue or ransomware.

What is more, Gis.driveropen.net can also collect data on your web browsing habits – for example, all the websites that you visit, search queries and so on. The information is collected in order to provide you with relevant advertisements, but you should also keep in mind the possibility that all the data collected could get leaked to a malicious third party.

Hence, although Gis.driveropen.net is not a dangerous infection by itself, all the programs and applications it is related to can cause quite a lot of serious problems to you. What is especially frustrating is the fact that you most probably have installed Gis.driveropen.net on your PC yourself. It might have arrived with a browser extension or some other adware via bundled shareware downloads.

To figure out which program has brought Gis.driveropen.net upon you, scan your PC with SpyHunter free scanner. Afterwards, if is possible, uninstall the program manually via Control Panel. Also, to make sure that all the dangerous files are deleted from your computer, invest in a powerful antimalware tool that would safeguard your PC against similar intruders.
