What is Yflexibilituky.co ads?

Yflexibilituky.co may spread potentially unwanted programs and malware with its free download

Yflexibilituky.coYflexibilituky.co is a bogus website that can infect users' PCs

Yflexibilituky.co is a bogus website that appears seemingly out of nowhere while users are surfing the web. It flashes a message “Your file is ready,” encouraging people to press the “Free Download” button. It is unknown what exactly users can download from this shady site, but it could be anything, like a malicious browser extension, adware, or even malware.

Malicious web-based apps and programs can be used to monetize user activity by generating ads, like pop-ups, banners, and redirects. They can also collect information about users' behavior using various tracking technologies and sell it to advertising networks and other third parties.

It is never a good idea to download files from random websites on the Internet as the variety of cyber threats keeps increasing. People get infected with spyware, crypto miners, trojans, and criminals keep developing and perfecting these threats every day. We have previously written about a dozen of similar pages, like Pointmarketvalue.top, Kap03ut-editi56on.xyz, and Phaisoaz.com.

Distribution methods

It is unusual for people to find pages like Yflexibilituky.co in the search results. Most of the time, people get redirected to them by other shady websites. Users browse through sites that engage in illegal activities and often get in trouble. For example, illegal streaming sites are full of deceptive ads and sneaky redirects because they are unregulated.

If you stumble upon one, you may see fake “Download” and “Play” buttons that are actually ads placed by unsafe advertising networks. Even though Google said it would get rid of them in 2016, they still exist. When users click on such buttons expecting to see a movie or TV show they have chosen, a new tab opens with a randomly selected page from the promotional network.

Some users may easily be fooled into thinking that the “Free Download” is something they have chosen on the previous site. Little do they know that this fraudulent page is completely unrelated to the one they were on before. Of course, the appearance of such pages could also be caused by a PUP (potentially unwanted program)[1] hiding in your system.

PUAs can infiltrate the system the same way we talked about above and through freeware distribution platforms. Such platforms use the practice known as software bundling.[2] They include additional programs in the installation without disclosing it clearly. Clueless, people skip through the installation and let these programs enter their systems.

It is best to limit yourself to official web stores and developer websites. Apps that get listed on digital marketplaces go through an extensive review process, so the chances that they are safe to download are much higher. You can also choose from a wide range of free applications as well so you will surely find something that suits your needs.

We also recommend always choosing the “Custom” or “Advanced” installation method, reading the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use to find out what the program will be able to do and what data it will collect. The last and most important part is to check the file list. Untick the boxes next to any additional programs that you did not choose to install.

The removal process

1. Clear your browsers

You might be seeing the Yflexibilituky.co page because you have a malicious extension added to your browser, which is causing redirects to questionable websites. Even if you do not notice these symptoms, we suggest investigating your browser.

The first thing you should do is go to your browser settings and check if you see any suspicious add-ons in the list. The best way to do this is by removing the extensions one by one and seeing if you notice any difference. You can follow our guide if you need help:

Google Chrome

  • Open Google Chrome, click on the Menu (three vertical dots at the top-right corner) and select More tools > Extensions.
  • In the newly opened window, you will see all the installed extensions. Uninstall all the suspicious plugins that might be related to the unwanted program by clicking Remove.Remove extensions from Chrome

MS Edge:

  1. Select Menu (three horizontal dots at the top-right of the browser window) and pick Extensions.
  2. From the list, pick the extension and click on the Gear icon.
  3. Click on Uninstall at the bottom.Remove extensions from Edge

MS Edge (Chromium)

  • Open Edge and click select Settings > Extensions.
  • Delete unwanted extensions by clicking Remove.Remove extensions from Chromium Edge

Mozilla Firefox

  • Open Mozilla Firefox browser and click on the Menu (three horizontal lines at the top-right of the window).
  • Select Add-ons.
  • In here, select unwanted plugin and click Remove.Remove extensions from Firefox

Safari

  • Click Safari > Preferences…
  • In the new window, pick Extensions.
  • Select the unwanted extension and select Uninstall.Remove extensions from Safari

One more thing you should do is clean cookies[3] and cache from your browser. Many websites and web-based apps use tracking technologies to see the links you click on, things you purchase online, and other data like your IP address and geolocation. Generally, this is not a bad thing as it helps websites and program developers to personalize the user experience – show results catered to your habits.

But we see that more often, cookies are used to generate revenue. As we mentioned before, they can be sold to advertising networks or other third parties and used to target you with ads even more. There have also been cases when cookies were hijacked and used for malicious purposes.

That is why security experts recommend clearing them regularly. It stops the tracking and deletes the collected data from your machine. This can become quite an annoying and lengthy process, so you can use a maintenance tool like FortectIntego which will do this automatically with a click of a button. This powerful software can also fix various system errors, corrupted files, and registry issues which is especially helpful after virus infections.

2. Scan the system for adware

We strongly suggest using anti-malware tools like SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner and Malwarebytes to scan your system. Adware is a type of program that generates commercial content like pop-ups, banners, and redirects on your machine to collect revenue via PPC advertising.[4] Often PUPs are disguised as handy tools that you would not even suspect, that is why it is so important to have a tool that can detect these processes for you.

Manual removal of adware can also be tricky if you do not have experience. Even if you uninstall the program itself, it can leave some traces behind (like files, registry entries, etc) which can result in a renewal of the infection. Professional security tools will scan your machine, eliminate intruders, and prevent such infections in the future by giving you a warning before a suspicious program can make any changes.

Otherwise, you can use the guide below to remove the supposed antivirus if you have installed it or to try to identify any suspicious programs that should not be on your computer:

How to prevent from getting adware

Stream videos without limitations, no matter where you are

There are multiple parties that could find out almost anything about you by checking your online activity. While this is highly unlikely, advertisers and tech companies are constantly tracking you online. The first step to privacy should be a secure browser that focuses on tracker reduction to a minimum.

Even if you employ a secure browser, you will not be able to access websites that are restricted due to local government laws or other reasons. In other words, you may not be able to stream Disney+ or US-based Netflix in some countries. To bypass these restrictions, you can employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN, which provides dedicated servers for torrenting and streaming, not slowing you down in the process.

Data backups are important – recover your lost files

Ransomware is one of the biggest threats to personal data. Once it is executed on a machine, it launches a sophisticated encryption algorithm that locks all your files, although it does not destroy them. The most common misconception is that anti-malware software can return files to their previous states. This is not true, however, and data remains locked after the malicious payload is deleted.

While regular data backups are the only secure method to recover your files after a ransomware attack, tools such as Data Recovery Pro can also be effective and restore at least some of your lost data.
