Should I Buy a Domain Name From My Web Hosting Company? - Last updated: - 2 Comments Is it better to buy a domain name from a web hosting company or from a domain name registrar? This is a valid question — especially if you’re just about to launch your very first website. Both approaches have their pros and cons, obviously, but, as with most things these days, the devil is in the details. Based on your specific requirements, getting your domain name from a web hosting company may be a brilliant idea… But not always. Let’s look into this in more detail. Here’s why you should and shouldn’t buy a domain name from your web hosting company. ‘What’s This about Anyway?’ Just to make sure we’re on the same page (in case you’re not entirely sure what this article is about): When you’re in the market for a website domain name, you’ll naturally need web hosting as well. Therefore, there are two main approaches you can take: Either (a) get the domain name and the hosting from two separate companies, or (b) get them both from the same company — your web host. Interestingly enough, pretty much all of the leading domain name registrars now offer web hosting services as well. This means that even if you go to a company such as GoDaddy — known primarily for domain registration — you can still walk out with a bundled deal of hosting and domain. However, you can also do things the other way around. You can go to a well-known hosting company and get the same bundled package from them as well. Key Factors to Consider When Making a Decision The most significant factors include: - convenience and what you want to do with your domain name - what could go wrong? Aka security and quality. Let’s take it from the top: So, which is cheaper? Buying a domain name from a web hosting company or from a domain name registrar? In short, getting your domain name and hosting from the same place can indeed be cheaper, but that depends on the specific company you choose. To give you an idea of what kind of prices we’re talking about, here’s a quick table showing what the more popular domain registrars and hosting firms have to offer: And here are the entry-level hosting prices with the same companies: - GoDaddy: $3.99 a month = $47.88 a year - Namecheap: $9.88 a year - DreamHost: $7.95 a month = $95.40 a year - SiteGround: $3.95 a month = $47.40 a year Now, the interesting part: Here are the domain registration prices with each of the companies if you’re also getting your hosting from them: - GoDaddy: free (for the initial registration period) - Namecheap: standard ($0.88 and up, depending on the TLD) - DreamHost: free (for the initial registration period) - SiteGround: standard ($12.95 and up, depending on the TLD) How to read this: - So, if you get a .comdomain name and hosting from GoDaddy, for example, you pay $47.88 for the first year in total. - On the other hand, if you get the same .comfrom Namecheap and then an entry-level hosting from SiteGround, your total bill is going to be $58.09 for the first year. But that’s not the end of the story. What’s tricky here is that even though the prices for the first year tend to be attractive, they can increase as soon as the second year comes around. For example, with Namecheap you can get a .club domain name for $0.88 and hosting for $9.88 a year as you come through the door. But in your second year your domain bill will grow to $10.88 annually, and the hosting bill to $38. Put together, that’s $48.88. As you can see, things are not that black and white. To sum up this pricing talk: In a nutshell, you shouldn’t spend too much time worrying about the pricing aspect of the bundle deal. What you should do instead is try to find out who offers the best WordPress hosting you can afford, and only then look into the company’s domain registration options. If there’s an attractive bundle deal, you can take them up on it. For example, if you decide SiteGround hosting is what you want, the next step should be to check the prices of domain name registration with SiteGround. If that price tag is something you’re okay with, you can get both the domain name and hosting from them. If not, get the domain from someone else. Of course, SiteGround is just an example here. This applies to any other company just as much. Aka what you want to do with your domain name once you have it. Naturally, the most common thing to do right after getting your hands on a new domain name is to create/launch a website — and you’ll need a hosting account alongside the domain name to make that happen. This is where the topic of convenience comes up. I’m sure this won’t come as a surprise, but buying a domain name from your web hosting company is a lot more convenient. In most cases, the company is going to take care of connecting the domain name and hosting for you. This means you’ll have everything configured to work together right out of the box. The only thing missing will be your website — and even that’s not certain. Depending on the company you decide to host your site with, they may also install a blank version of WordPress for you — meaning you’ll just have to install a theme, some plugins and then begin using your website right away. On the other hand, if you want to buy the domain name from a separate registrar, you may be forced to connect the domain and the hosting on your own. Granted, this is not super difficult, and the support team at either company should be happy to help you figure it out, but it’s still something you’ll have to do, rather than have someone else handle it for you. So, in general, getting your domain name and hosting from the same company will be more convenient overall, provided you want to buy a single domain, so you can launch a single website. (If you’re planning a broader project — one that requires a handful of domains and different versions of one or multiple websites — then getting your domains and hosting from two separate places may be a more handy setup from a development point of view. It just lets you manage all those domains and what’s going on with them at a given point in time more easily.) There’s one more thing that relates to the convenience of buying a domain name from a web hosting company versus from a domain name registrar: Not every registrar and hosting company will allow you to register every existing domain TLD. This may be important if you’re interested in one of the newer generic TLDs ( .xyz), or some country-based TLDs ( Just to give you an example, if you think DreamHost have the perfect hosting plan for you, but you also want a .it website domain for your Italian customer base, then tough luck: DreamHost don’t support this TLD. That being said, if you’re looking for a classic .com, then you’ll be able to register it with every domain name registrar on the planet. 3. What Could Go Wrong? Aka Security and Quality Last, but certainly not least, we have the topic of what could go wrong with your domain name and hosting setup. And it basically comes down to this: When we talk about the pair of your website domain name and your web hosting setup, the domain name is the element you’re a lot less likely to be dissatisfied with. First of all, domain names are a regulated market. There’s an organization called Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) that monitors the market overall and regulates domain registrars to some extent. Also, considering what domain names actually are — web addresses that point to and identify websites (a very simplified definition: here’s a better one) — it’s very uncommon for a domain name to ever stop working all of a sudden. As long as you pay your annual domain registration bills, your domain is going to work just fine 99% of the time. However, the story with web hosting can be different. First off, hosting isn’t a regulated market in any way, so your mileage with some hosts may vary. And, if you ever do want to move to another host, doing so is much easier if you’ve originally bought your domain name and hosting from separate companies. All you do is just edit the domain’s nameserver settings and you’re done (your original domain name registrar will let you know how to do that, so no worries). Of course, the more you devote to making the right hosting decision up front — based on your requirements, what you need the hosting for, what type of website you want to launch, and so on — the more likely you are to end up with a great long-term hosting setup overall. Here’s a guide on how to choose the best WordPress hosting. ‘Tell Me What to Do Already!’ Okay, there are always tradeoffs with these things. Some additional convenience in one area costs you less convenience in another area. Same for security, pricing, and so on. So, with all that being said, and taking all of the above into account, here’s my general advice: - If you want to launch your first WordPress website on a brand new domain name: Get the domain and hosting from the same company. Start with hosting — research what’s available in the market (here’s some help), and pick the best host for your needs, then get the domain from the same company. - If you want to launch more than one website, or you’re planning to expand your portfolio rather quickly: Get the domains and hosting from separate companies. Preferably two companies: All of your domains from one, and all of your hosting from the other. This gives you more room to move around and adjust your setup altogether in case your goals change or anything happens. They say, ‘don’t keep all your eggs in one basket’, but let’s not go crazy here. I believe that both approaches — buying your domain name and hosting from the same company versus from two separate companies — have their place, and the right choice depends only on your requirements. So what’s your final decision? Are you buying your next domain name from a web hosting company or from a domain name registrar?

In the last few years, cloud computing has grown from being a promising business concept to one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry. Now, recession-hit companies are increasingly realising that simply by tapping into the cloud they can gain fast access to best-of-breed business applications or drastically boost their infrastructure resources, all at negligible cost. But as more and more information on individuals and companies is placed in the cloud, concerns are beginning to grow about just how safe an environment it is. - Every breached security system was once thought infallible - Understand the risks of cloud computing - How cloud hosting companies have approached security - Local law and jurisdiction where data is held - Best practice for companies in the cloud SaaS (software as a service) and PaaS (platform as a service) providers all trumpet the robustness of their systems, often claiming that security in the cloud is tighter than in most enterprises. But the simple fact is that every security system that has ever been breached was once thought infallible. Google was forced to make an embarrassing apology in February when its Gmail service collapsed in Europe, while Salesforce.com is still smarting from a phishing attack in 2007 which duped a staff member into revealing passwords. While cloud service providers face similar security issues as other sorts of organisations, analysts warn that the cloud is becoming particularly attractive to cyber crooks. "The richer the pot of data, the more cloud service providers need to do to protect it," says IDC research analyst David Bradshaw. "At the heart of cloud infrastructure is this idea of multi-tenancy and decoupling between specific hardware resources and applications," explains Datamonitor senior analyst Vuk Trifković. "In the jungle of multi-tenant data, you need to trust the cloud provider that your information will not be exposed." For their part, companies need to be vigilant, for instance about how passwords are assigned, protected and changed. Cloud service providers typically work with numbers of third parties, and customers are advised to gain information about those companies which could potentially access their data. IDC's Bradshaw says an important measure of security often overlooked by companies is how much downtime a cloud service provider experiences. He recommends that companies ask to see service providers' reliability reports to determine whether these meet the requirements of the business. Exception monitoring systems is another important area which companies should ask their service providers about, he adds. London-based financial transaction specialists SmartStream Technologies made its foray into the cloud services space last month with a new SaaS product aimed at providing smaller banks and other financial institutions with a cheap means of reconciling transactions. Product manager Darryl Twiggs says that the service has attracted a good deal of interest amongst small to mid-tier banks, but that some top tier players are also being attracted by the potential cost savings. An important consideration for cloud service customers, especially those responsible for highly sensitive data, Twiggs says, is to find out about the hosting company used by the provider and if possible seek an independent audit of their security status. "Customers we engage with haven't been as stringent as we thought they would have been with this". As with most SaaS offerings, the applications forming SmartClear's offering are constantly being tweaked and revised, a fact which raises more security issues for customers. Companies need to know, for instance, whether a software change might actually alter its security settings. "For every update we review the security requirements for every user in the system," Twiggs says. One of the world's largest technology companies, Google, has invested a lot of money into the cloud space, where it recognises that having a reputation for security is a key determinant of success. "Security is built into the DNA of our products," says a company spokesperson. "Google practices a defense-in-depth security strategy, by architecting security into our people, process and technologies". However, according to Datamonitor's Trifković, the cloud is still very much a new frontier with very little in the way of specific standards for security or data privacy. In many ways he says that cloud computing is in a similar position to where the recording industry found itself when it was trying to combat peer-to-peer file sharing with copyright laws created in the age of analogue. "In terms of legislation, at the moment there's nothing that grabs my attention that is specifically built for cloud computing," he says. "As is frequently the case with disruptive technologies, the law lags behind the technology development for cloud computing." What's more, many are concerned that cloud computing remains at such an embryonic stage that the imposition of strict standards could do more harm than good. IBM, Cisco, SAP, EMC and several other leading technology companies announced in late March that they had created an 'Open Cloud Manifesto' calling for more consistent security and monitoring of cloud services. But the fact that neither Amazon.com, Google nor Salesforce.com agreed to take part suggests that broad industry consensus may be some way off. Microsoft also abstained, charging that IBM was forcing its agenda. "Standards by definition are restrictive. Consequently, people are questioning whether cloud computing can benefit from standardisation at this stage of market development." says Trifković. "There is a slight reluctance on the part of cloud providers to create standards before the market landscape is fully formed." Until it is there are nevertheless a handful of existing web standards which companies in the cloud should know about. Chief among these is ISO27001, which is designed to provide the foundations for third party audit, and implements OECD principles governing security of information and network systems. The SAS70 auditing standard is also used by cloud service providers. Possibly even more pressing an issue than standards in this new frontier is the emerging question of jurisdiction. Data that might be secure in one country may not be secure in another. In many cases though, users of cloud services don't know where their information is held. Currently in the process of trying to harmonise the data laws of its member states, the EU favours very strict protection of privacy, while in America laws such as the US Patriot Act invest government and other agencies with virtually limitless powers to access information including that belonging to companies. UK-based electronics distributor ACAL is using NetSuite OneWorld for its CRM. Simon Rush, IT manager at ACAL, has needed to ensure that ACAL had immediate access to all of its data should its contract with NetSuite be terminated for any reason, so that the information could be quickly relocated. Part of this included knowing in which jurisdiction the data is held. "We had to make sure that, as a company, our data was correctly and legally held." European concerns about about US privacy laws led to creation of the US Safe Harbor Privacy Principles, which are intended to provide European companies with a degree of insulation from US laws. James Blake from e-mail management SaaS provider Mimecast suspects that these powers are being abused. "Counter terrorism legislation is increasingly being used to gain access to data for other reasons," he warns. Mimecast provides a comprehensive e-mail management service in the cloud for over 25,000 customers, including 40% of the top legal firms in the UK. Customers benefit from advanced encryption that only they are able to decode, ensuring that Mimecast acts only as the custodian, rather than the controller of the data, offering companies concerned about privacy another layer of protection. Mimecast also gives customers the option of having their data stored in different jurisdictions. For John Tyreman, IT manager for outsourced business services provider Liberata, flexibility over jurisdiction was a key factor in his choosing Mimecast to help the company meet its obligations to store and manage e-mails from 2500 or so staff spread across 20 countries. The company is one of the UK's leading outsourcing providers for the Public Sector, Life Pensions and Investments and Corporate Pensions leading. "Storing our data in the US would have been a major concern," Tyreman says. - Inquire about exception monitoring systems - Be vigilant around updates and making sure that staff don't suddenly gain access privileges they're not supposed to. - Ask where the data is kept and inquire as to the details of data protection laws in the relevant jurisdictions. - Seek an independent security audit of the host - Find out which third parties the company deals with and whether they are able to access your data - Be careful to develop good policies around passwords; how they are created, protected and changed. - Look into availability guarantees and penalties. - Find out whether the cloud provider will accommodate your own security policies Photo credit: Dan Talson/Rex Features

As marketing has developed over time, so has the technical language marketers use. Even marketers themselves are probably confused about what some phrases and acronyms mean half the time, too! Search Optimization is a fundamental marketing strategy for businesses that want to draw attention, drive website traffic, and improve their industry. But it can be a difficult strategy to manage if you don’t know how to compare SEM and SEO. Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing can be a puzzling concept to apprehend. Both processes’ target is to increase visibility in search engines. The tactics may seem identical, but they are two very different paths to search optimization. Both terms are usually interchanged, which makes understanding them even harder. Also, if you don’t know how to contrast the two, you can’t communicate in a clear and efficient strategy for earning high rankings in the search results in different search engines. The Core Difference between SEO and SEM Search Engine Optimization is about optimizing your website to get higher rankings in the search results while Search Engine Marketing goes beyond SEO. It involves other methods that can get you more search engine visitors like PPC advertising. Traditionally, SEO has been thought of as an element of SEM, including both paid and organic tactics. Nonetheless, today the definitions changed. SEM is now applied to refer solely to paid search results while SEO is exclusively for getting traffic from free, organic, editorial or natural search results. In short words: SEO is an organic search strategy. SEM is a paid search strategy. Let’s expand our understanding of the difference between the two by breaking down their definitions and of the other terms related. Before you can truly understand a certain topic, you need to start at the very root of it; in this case, Search Marketing. Search Marketing is associated with any strategy that helps a brand gain attention by appearing on Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). It involves efforts to get at the top of the rankings and boost search visibility so you can make more traffic to a website or particular webpages. SEO and SEM are the major classes in Search Marketing. Search Engine Marketing In a paid SEM strategy, both the activities involved with setting up and optimizing ads as well as setting a budget that pays for the placement of ads are involved. This strategy is widely known as pay-per-click (PPC) marketing. The most commonly known search provider for PPC is GoogleAds. This tactic helps brands carry keyword research and build campaigns that aim for the best keywords for their industry, products, or services. If any of those keywords are used by a searcher, they see the custom ads at the top or bottom of the search results. Through PPC advertising, you can target potential buyers with relevant ad copy and keywords that suit their searches. Your business is given an opportunity to enhance the visibility of its web pages, landing pages, blog articles, and more. There are also terms like cost-per-click (CPC) ads, paid search ads, and paid search advertising used for SEM activities. Here are some SEM strategies that are proven to be worth your bucks: - Build ad groups that are comprised of target keyword modifications - Monitor metrics like clicks, impressions, click-through rates and average cost-per-click - Drive ad campaigns with a target audience in mind - Write important ad copy using those selective keywords - Establish an ad budget These five approaches are very important for anyone new to SEM strategies. Search Engine Optimization An optimized web site has more chances of being understood by Search engine crawlers and this increases the chances of ranking higher in SERPS. That is why many online marketers make use of SEO. Search Engine Optimization is the method of optimizing your web site for the goal of producing free traffic from different search engines. Due to the frequent changes in Google’s algorithms, the SEO industry needs to evolve. However, one thing can’t be changed: On-Page and Off-Page SEO activities. On-page SEO is about optimizing your own website for the high rankings in the search results. - Combining selective keyword directly into title tags, meta descriptions, heading tags, alt text, etc. - Posting blogs with quality content that easily ranked in the search engines - Neat and formatting page URLS - Optimizing the site so it loads swiftly on any devices - Google authorship incorporated - Social sharing integration in your content - Using schema.org markup to give the crawlers more info about your web pages - Making sure that robots.txt doesn’t hinder the search bots - Putting a sitemap that makes it easier for crawlers to crawl your website - Making internal links so that your website backlinks to itself - Using the HTTPS secure protocol so that your site can a get a little boost in the SERPs - And many more Off-page SEO is about obtaining organic backlinks from other websites. - Building a natural backlink profile from quality websites - Content sharing on social media - Getting attention from prominent people in your domain - Guest posting - Involving in influencer marketing Online marketers and advocates on either side could have a debate as to which one is more effective. However, you can see high-quality SEO as a foundation for high-quality SEM. Both have an undeniable advantage and could work hand in hand for your marketing strategy.

5G was the hottest topic at this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) event in Barcelona, Spain, as both vendors and carriers race to deliver the next generation of cellular wireless technology. Cisco is aiming to play a key role in multiple aspects of the 5G market, including security, which is why the company announced its new Security Architecture for Mobile Service Providers at MWC. "New services and architectures in 5G will lead to an increase in attack surface and associated risk to the mobile operator," Gee Rittenhouse, Senior Vice-President Engineering in the Security Business Group at Cisco, told eWEEK. "Mitigating this risk requires a comprehensive approach to security that can be only be delivered by a broad and deep security portfolio." While Cisco has had multiple security technologies in market to help mobile operators, Rittenhouse commented that there is a need for a new approach that helps protect mobile traffic and subscriber data across physical and virtualized mobile infrastructures. "An architectural approach to security is required to deliver comprehensive visibility and protection everywhere – across the network, device, and cloud," he said. "One of the new capabilities is the next-generation Security Gateway for mobile operators, which enables them to protect the mobile core. " Rittenhouse added that the mobile capabilities are all new software capabilities that will be available on Cisco's existing carrier-class platforms including the ASR 900; Firepower 9300 and 4100 Series; and the ASAv virtual appliance. Additionally, from a scaleability perspective, clustering technology on Cisco Firepower platforms, allows mobile operators to scale up to five Cisco Firepower 9300 chassis or up to 16 Cisco Firepower 4100 Series chassis, for optimized security gateway performance as mobile network demands grow. From a services perspective, Cisco is announcing the Cisco Umbrella for Service Providers offering which is similar in functionality to the enterprise Umbrella service that Cisco announced on Feb. 9. With Umbrella, Cisco is providing a Secure Internet Gateway (SIG) technology that is able to filter and protect traffic from malware and limit online security risks. Rittenhouse explained that with Cisco Umbrella for Service Providers, there is an optimized console that enables providers to easily add security services. "We also have included the ability to access Umbrella cloud across the Cisco Service Provider product portfolio," Rittenhouse said. While network based security is a core part of Cisco's business, for mobile there is also a device security component as well. At MWC, Cisco announced device security capabilities that will enhance Samsung devices with visibility and data intelligence capabilities. "Cisco currently provides deep visibility and control on desktops and laptops through our robust security offerings," Rittenhouse said. "We are offering new, enhanced visibility to our existing Cisco AnyConnect integration with Samsung Knox – so, any Samsung device using the Knox security platform."

We are pleased to announce that Pillsbury has been shortlisted in the category of “Best Onshore Law Firm – Client Service” by HFM Week’s US Hedge Fund Performance Awards 2017. In 2016, we were awarded “Best Onshore Law Firm for Hedge Fund Startups”. The US Hedge Fund Performance Awards was established to recognize providers of services to the hedge fund sector that have demonstrated exceptional innovation, customer service and performance over the last year. The awards are determined by a panel of independent industry experts who consider a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures. The Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE) of the SEC issued a Risk Alert yesterday providing a list of the most frequently identified compliance issues relating to the Advertising Rule (Rule 206(4)-1) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. These compliance issues were identified as part of the OCIE examination of investment advisers: misleading performance results, misleading one-on-one presentations, misleading claim of compliance with voluntary performance standards, “cherry-picked” profitable stock selections, misleading selection of recommendations and insufficient/inaccurate compliance policies and procedures. Compliance with the Advertising Rule has long been, and remains, a favorite focus of the SEC. In an age of fundraising challenges, investment advisers must balance the pressing need of appealing to prospective clients with adherence to precise regulatory standards. Each marketing piece should go through rigorous internal review and sign-off procedures and, as necessary, outside counsel evaluation. Investment advisers are urged to pay special attention to any form of performance or track record marketing. Click here for the full Risk Alert. Contact your Pillsbury attorney for additional assistance. On June 9, 2017, the Department of Labor (DOL) regulation updating the definition of “fiduciary” for purposes of ERISA became effective, along with a series of new and updated prohibited transaction exemptions. The DOL regulation expands the types of activities that can give rise to fiduciary status, and applies not only to plans subject to ERISA but also to self-directed IRAs. While the DOL is still reviewing whether changes should be made to the regulation to reduce the regulatory burden, and both the DOL and Congress are considering more drastic action such as full repeal, for the time being the regulation is in effect. A broad reading of the definition of “fiduciary” under the new rule could cause investment fund managers to become fiduciaries to ERISA and IRA investors in their funds, and to prospective investors, regardless whether a fund they manage is a “plan assets” fund. Fund managers may need to take action now, notifying benefit plan investors, obtaining representations and/or amending subscription applications. Private investment funds that limit ERISA plan and IRA investments to below 25% of each class of equity interests (or that qualify as a Venture Capital Operating Company (VCOC) or a Real Estate Operating Company (REOC)) are still exempt from ERISA with respect to most of their activities—their investment transactions and compensation arrangements are exempt from ERISA’s fiduciary rules and from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. However, under the new DOL regulation, certain types of marketing and outreach activities to new and current benefit plan investors could be viewed as “recommendations” to invest in (or continue investing in) a fund, and thus may become subject to the new fiduciary rules. Not every marketing or outreach activity will give rise to fiduciary status, and an exemption is available for communications with financially sophisticated plan fiduciaries. Please contact us to discuss how you can qualify for an exemption from fiduciary status and/or take necessary other action with respect to IRA and ERISA investors. For more detailed information about the DOL fiduciary rule, please read our Alert. The new EU data protection framework, called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), will take effect in May 2018. These new laws will significantly impact any companies doing business in Europe, even those without a physical EU presence (e.g. U.S. companies targeting Europe). If you have a website, use customer or staff data or engage in almost any form of marketing you will likely be caught. The new very high fine levels for breaches and the need to be able to prove compliance mean companies, regardless of size, must take steps now to prepare. If you would like to explore whether and how this law may impact you, please contact Pillsbury Partner Rafi Azim-Khan (Data Privacy Europe) or the investment management attorney you work with. The Commission is amending the recordkeeping obligations set forth in Commission regulations along with corresponding technical changes to certain provisions regarding retention of oral communications and record retention requirements applicable to swap dealers and major swap participants, respectively. The amendments modernize and make technology neutral the form and manner in which regulatory records must be kept, as well as rationalize the rule text for ease of understanding for those persons required to keep records pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder. The amendments do not alter any existing requirements regarding the types of regulatory records to be inspected, produced, and maintained set forth in other Commission regulations.

Adblocking Addon removal instructions What is Adblocking Addon? Adblocking Addon (also known as ublock Ads Plus) is an adware-type application that, according to its developers, blocks display of unwanted advertisements. Adblocking Addon is categorized as potentially unwanted application (PUA) that most users install unintentionally. It also collects browsing-related (and other) data. Note that a legitimate ad-blocking extension called uBlock Plus Adblocker has nothing to do with this adware. Adblocking Addon's developers use a similar name and icon in an attempt to give the impression of legitimacy. Potentially unwanted apps such as Adblocking Addon record IP addresses, keystrokes, search queries, URLs of visited websites, etc. They also record personal details. Developers generate revenue by sharing collected data with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. These data-tracking apps often cause problems relating to privacy, browsing safety, and so on. Having them installed can also lead to identity theft. Information-tracking apps display intrusive ads (coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, etc.) using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site and conceal underlying content. Furthermore, if clicked, they often redirect users to untrustworthy websites or run scripts that download/install unwanted applications or potentially malicious programs. Do not use any PUAs, including Adblocking Addon, or have them installed. |Name||ublock Ads Plus adware| |Threat Type||Adware, Unwanted ads, Pop-up Virus| |Symptoms||Seeing advertisements not originating from the sites you are browsing. Intrusive pop-up ads. Decreased Internet browsing speed.| |Distribution methods||Deceptive pop-up ads, free software installers (bundling), fake flash player installers.| |Damage||Decreased computer performance, browser tracking - privacy issues, possible additional malware infections.| |Malware Removal (Windows)| To eliminate possible malware infections, scan your computer with legitimate antivirus software. Our security researchers recommend using Malwarebytes. There are many apps very similar to Adblocking Addon, including EasyDirections, RinoReader, and Yayzap. Developers promote them by offering various 'useful features'. In this way, they trick users into downloading and installing PUAs by presenting them as legitimate and useful apps, however, they deliver none of the functionality promised. On the contrary, developers use them only to generate revenue. How did Adblocking Addon install on my computer? Adblocking Addon is promoted using an official website from which it can be downloaded, however, user mostly install these apps inadvertently through intrusive ads or when software developers use "bundling", a deceptive marketing method used to trick users into installing unwanted apps together with regular (usually free) software. Generally, information regarding the presence of potentially unwanted apps in download/installation set-ups is not properly disclosed. Developers hide these apps in "Advanced", "Custom" and other similar parts of the download or installation processes. Nevertheless, these installations usually occur only if users skip installation/download steps without checking available settings or options. How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications? Avoid using third party software downloaders, installers, peer-to-peer (P2P) networks and other similar sources to download software. Use official, trustworthy websites, and direct links only. Check "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings/options of the download/installation processes. Deselect offers to install additional (unwanted) apps, and only then finish the installation or download. Be careful when browsing the web and when clicking ads - clicking untrustworthy ads can lead to dubious (potentially malicious) websites such as pornography, adult dating, gambling, etc. If you encounter ads that redirect you to dubious websites, check installed programs on your computer and extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins installed on your browser.
