The Epicunitscan.info pop-up
Having Epicunitscan.info pop-ups in the browser may mean that adware is installed on the computer. It runs the code each time the browser starts, and once the process is running, the user may have difficulty stopping Epicunitscan.info from carrying out its objective of exhibiting various advertisements. The multiple redirects originating from this malicious URL do not only possess annoying endorsements. Worse than that, Epicunitscan.info-appointed pages might lead web users to a page that was intentionally published to spread malware.
For the reasons mentioned above, quite a number of security applications deem Epicunitscan.info dangerous. In that case, pop-ups like “Malicious Website Blocked” or “High Risk Website Blocked – Access has been blocked to Epicunitscan.info” may appear on the computer screen each time the browser attempts to open a window pointing to the questionable address and relevant subpages.
Is Epicunitscan.info part of computer virus?
