In these days, surfing the internet, you may find yourself opening a web page which is titled in this way: " Obsolete detected Java Plugin " (or in English " Outdated Java Plugin detected ") which warns you to update Java by downloading the new version by pressing the OK button and then Download. The page also has the title: " DOWNLOAD PLUGIN FOR WINDOWS WINDOWS XP, VISTA, 7 + 8 " and a nice red button for downloading the malicious and malicious plugin.
This warning, which apparently seems true and which invites to update a popular plugin like Java, is actually a dangerous web page that invites you to download a file called Java.exe which, in reality, is nothing but malware .
The file creates a bogus installation procedure that has nothing to do with Java and instead installs many useless and harmful adware programs, almost viruses, and that changes the homepage and the search engine in browsers.
The reasons for opening this web page suddenly does not depend on the computer you are using, it also appears on smartphones and tablets, on all browsers: Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer.
For the moment it is not very clear where it comes from, but in general it is a case of hijacking which exploits a bug on the server of some sites and does this redirect.
Redirection is done on sites whose addresses are names like:
javadaygood.com
javagree2014.com
javaupdatingonline.com
readjava.com
javaonlined.com
2014update.com
allsoftdll.com
javaevd.com or others.
That these are fake pages can also be seen from the incorrect Italian with which they are written: " You are using a java plugin that seems to be antiquated "
There is no way to avoid these redirects which, I repeat, do not seem to depend on viruses or malware present on the computer .
The important thing for now is to avoid downloading and installing the program which is a garbage installer.
If you have already installed these programs, run ADWcleaner and Malwarebytes to eliminate all traces of these adware and restore browser settings changed by the malware virus.
