What is Jomrthaflape.ru?
Our researchers came across an adware server called Jomrthaflape.ru. It looks like it might modify user’s browser preferences by changing the default start page. As a result, the threat might be able to redirect the user to other annoying advertising web pages. Such sites may show you unreliable pop-up ads, sponsored links, and other advertisements from various adware servers. If seeing such content annoys you and you do not wish to put the system or your privacy at risk accidentally, we advise you to avoid ads displayed by Jomrthaflape.ru or doubtful sites alike. One way to make your browser stop showing such content is to check the system as it is presented in the instructions below the text and remove all data related to the threat.

Where does Jomrthaflape.ru come from?
Our specialists say there might be a few different scenarios how Jomrthaflape.ru could enter the user’s system. First of all, it might be distributed with bundled installers of similar threats, for example, potentially unwanted programs, browser hijackers, suspicious toolbars, and so on. Also, users could accidentally allow it to affect their browser while clicking doubtful pop-up ads or visiting possibly harmful websites. Either way, its appearance may show your system is vulnerable to threats. Therefore, our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com advise users to be more cautious while surfing the Internet or downloading any content from it. Besides, it would be a wise idea to consider acquiring reliable antimalware tool as it could warn about possibly harmful software before it has the chance to enter or do any damage.
How does Jomrthaflape.ru work?
Once Jomrthaflape.ru appears on the computer, it might modify the user’s browser settings to set itself as your default start page. However, our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com believe the threat might not necessarily alter the browser settings to force the affected browsing application load it after it is launched. The adware server could get the same effect by hijacking the browsers Target line. Additionally, the threat may place scheduled tasks in the %WINDIR%\Tasks and %WINDIR%\System32\Tasks directories so it could open the browser according to a particular schedule without asking your permission, for example, the adware network might be loaded every two hours, one hour, thirty minutes, and so on.
Jomrthaflape.ru could be compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. After your browser loads it you may instantly see irritating ads from the third party or be redirected to another adware server distributing doubtful advertisements. The main problem is the ads that could be displayed to the user may originate from various third-party web pages. Thus, clicking them could redirect you to possibly dangerous sites, for example, sites that distribute adware, potentially unwanted programs, browser hijackers, or even applications, which might infect the system with malware. We do not say you would necessarily come across malicious programs while clicking the ads, but there is a chance you could, and if you can, it would be safer to get rid of the adware network.
