What is Relosoun.com?

Relosoun is a phishing site that exposes users to a variety of scams in order to obtain their personal information

Relosoun.com imageRelosoun.com is an adware which redirects to less than reliable sites.

Relosoun is a malicious website that tries to trick users into participating in fake surveys to make them install bogus software, subscribe for questionable services or retrieve personal information from them.[1] When Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or other browser users end up on scam sites like Congratulations Amazon user, Amazon membership rewards, or similar, there is a high chance that their machine is infected with adware – a potentially unwanted program that seeks to gain revenue through advertisement. However, Relosoun developers do not care if the commercial content that is shown is safe, and users might end up losing their money or even expose their personal data, which can later result in identity theft. Additionally, adware is often used to spy on people, recording browsing history and other details to serve targeted ads, pop-ups, in-text links, banners, etc.

The first step is to change Quick/Recommended settings to Custom/Advanced ones. This way you will see additional components which are included in the software bundle. Once you find them, make sure that you opt out all pre-selected boxes that allow installing adware.

How to prevent from getting adware

Choose a proper web browser and improve your safety with a VPN tool

Online spying has got momentum in recent years and people are getting more and more interested in how to protect their privacy online. One of the basic means to add a layer of security – choose the most private and secure web browser. Although web browsers can't grant full privacy protection and security, some of them are much better at sandboxing, HTTPS upgrading, active content blocking, tracking blocking, phishing protection, and similar privacy-oriented features. However, if you want true anonymity, we suggest you employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN – it can encrypt all the traffic that comes and goes out of your computer, preventing tracking completely.

 

Lost your files? Use data recovery software

While some files located on any computer are replaceable or useless, others can be extremely valuable. Family photos, work documents, school projects – these are types of files that we don't want to lose. Unfortunately, there are many ways how unexpected data loss can occur: power cuts, Blue Screen of Death errors, hardware failures, crypto-malware attack, or even accidental deletion.

To ensure that all the files remain intact, you should prepare regular data backups. You can choose cloud-based or physical copies you could restore from later in case of a disaster. If your backups were lost as well or you never bothered to prepare any, Data Recovery Pro can be your only hope to retrieve your invaluable files.
