Moneypoll01.top – a scamming website that offers to win large sums of money by opening prize chests

Moneypoll01.top PUP

Moneypoll01.top is a scam page that provides you with three locked chests and gives you a turn on pressing one and winning some type of prize. You might be provided with inadequate prize claims that can vary up to $50,000, according to faked winner reports that are posted on the same scam page. Moneypoll01.top website provides the user with an entire load of positive user reports that are happy about winning particular monetary rewards. Do not put your beliefs in that as those reports are supposedly generated by a computer to create a more trustful look for naive visitors.

Name Moneypoll01.top
Type Scam/PUP
Cause This scamming website can occur as a redirect while visiting bogus third-party sources or it can be a sign of an adware infection if it shows up on your computer system frequently
Aim The scam claims to provide fake rewards and might ask to enter credential information for receiving some type of monetary prize. This way the developers might lure you into various schemes and swindle some money from you easily
Distribution PUPs are often distributed via “software bundling” techniques or they can be met on unsecured websites that are filled with infectious ads and links
Deletion You can delete the virus that has been forcing the scam to appear by using automatical software or step-by-step guidelines that are added to the end of this article
Repair Try using FortectIntego software to repair compromised files if you have discovered some

We have made some type of investigation on Moneypoll01.top through different types of web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari. We have picked a prize using all the three browsers and were provided with the same prize claims each time. First, we were given another free move and when the move has been taken, we have been provided with an $11,000 prize.

After that, we were connected with an operator that supposedly also is a robot and encouraged to “give my consent to win”. Do not get tricked here. By pressing the winning button you will not win anything. Moneypoll01.top might aim to ask for your credential information as a way to transfer the prize to your account. However, be aware that such type of sensitive information might be later own used for money swindling.

Moneypoll01.top virus also continuously drops various pop-ups that announce about recently won prizes. Keep in mind that this type of information is all fake and used to attract a bigger number of visitors. Also, do not fall for fake “participants comments” such as this one:

100 bucks in your pocket and that's not bad, I'll have a good weekend, all the luck and big profits!

This type of comment is not the only one you will see, you might be provided with tens or hundreds of similar reports by  Moneypoll01.top. Do not believe in anything that is claimed by this scam website as its intentions cannot be good. Nevertheless, the bogus scam might operate as an adware program and result in frequent advertising and redirects during browsing sessions. 

 Moneypoll01.top virus

If Moneypoll01.top starts acting as an ad-supported application, you might have trouble maintaining your browser session stability as intrusive activities might force your browser apps to struggle or just completely freeze. Additionally, adware might inject questionable helper objects such as extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons to your browser settings. Also, you might not even notice how cookies or beacons are added for spying on your Internet activities.

Moneypoll01.top might start recording information regarding your browsing experience, habits, and history. This type of data might be related to your recent visits, commonly clicked websites, hyperlinks and advertisements accessed, recently saved bookmarks, your IP address, geographic location.[1] Sometimes the developers might even get hold of your email address or mobile phone number and try to deliver you bogus offers via email.

One more time we want to mention that believing in the scam is wrong and can result in unwanted monetary results. If this scamming website has shown up just once or twice while you were visiting and unsecured domain, there might be no PUP in your system at all. However, if the domain just keeps popping out during regular browsing sessions and intruding your Internet activities, there might be an adware program in your system and Moneypoll01.top removal is required.

To permanently remove Moneypoll01.top from your affected computer system and browsers, you need to delete each bogus component that is related to this PUP.[2] This includes cleaning directories such as the Task Manager, Registry, etc. You can use automatical software or manual guidelines to succeed in the process. Also, if the adware has compromised some system files of yours, you can try repairing them with FortectIntego.

The distribution principles of adware programs (PUPs)

Cybersecurity specialists from Virusai.lt[3] state that adware programs can use multiple techniques for succeeding in their distribution. The most common way to place adware on some type of computer is to inject it into a bundle of software.

If you are likely to get your software from websites such as download.com, softonic.com, or cnet.com, there is a big chance that you will receive adware from there. Also, you increase your chances of a PUP infection by opting for the wrong configuration. You should avoid any “Quick” mode and go for the “Advanced” option.

Furthermore, adware programs are capable of pretending to be required software updates of programs such as JavaScript and Adobe Flash Player. If you ever run into some doubts regarding your software upgrading, you should check the official developer's page and look for all newly released updates and get them from there.

Continuously, avoid clicking on secondary downloading links and third-party ads as these clicks might relate in the secret installation of adware. To add, automatical protection is also a necessary step to take. You should employ a reliable antivirus tool that will provide long-term protection and alert you if something concerning is happening.
