If your browser keeps loading Jomrthaflape.ru, you are most likely dealing with a Russian adware server. Our researchers say it may come as a redirect and it might be set as the user’s homepage. Its appearance could disturb your browsing since the advertising network might start redirecting you to other adware servers too. However, the worst part is that the web pages you get to visit might endanger the system because they could show potentially malicious advertising content or redirect you to the so-called scam web pages. Thus, we would advise our readers to get rid of this threat as soon as possible. If you feel up to the task, you could slide below the text and try to clean up the system with our recommended deletion steps, although before removing it you may want to read the rest of the article to learn more significant details about Jomrthaflape.ru.

Jomrthaflape.ru might set itself as the user’s homepage either through the browser settings or by hijacking its shortcut’s Target line. If that is the case, the user should see data related to the adware server added at the end of the browser’s Target line; users can access such information if they right-click the shortcut and choose Properties. What’s more, it is entirely possible the threat could create scheduled tasks in %WINDIR%\System32\Tasks directory. If the advertising network manages to do so, it could not only make your browser load Jomrthaflape.ru, but also open it without your knowledge.

According to our researchers, the adware server could enter the system through redirects from other doubtful web pages. Consequently, we would advise users to avoid potentially malicious web pages to stay away from threats alike in the future. Of course, there are other ways this advertising domain may have settled in on your browser. Apparently, the threat might be traveling with suspicious applications. Usually, users receive such programs while downloading software installers from unreliable file-sharing web pages. If you do not pick advanced installation settings and review the given terms and suggestions, you can easily install untrustworthy software without even realizing it. Therefore, you should pay more attention the next time.

As we mentioned, in the beginning, the threat might start annoying the user right after it settles in since it might not only show him suspicious advertising content on Jomrthaflape.ru but also redirect to other adware servers. Unfortunately, there you could encounter potentially malicious advertising content or ads leading to scam web pages. This is why it would be best not to click these ads no matter how tempting they appear to be. Otherwise, you may end up on a site distributing more adware, potentially unwanted applications, browser hijackers, or even malicious programs, while the so-called scam web pages might try to steal various sensitive information or convince purchasing questionable products.
