What is Cld-secure.com? And how does it work?

Cld-secure.com is a dubious and questionable domain classified as an adware and potentially unwanted program. If you keep on getting redirected to this shady domain, there is no doubt that there is an adware program on your PC. The adware initiates redirects to this site from which user is redirected to other commercial sites. This adware has sophisticated functionality, allowing it to open a browser’s tab any time it wants to and could trigger redirects to other suspicious sites when you click on a sponsored content.
Of course, just like what an adware does, Cld-secure.com displays various sponsored contents to generate traffic to its affiliated sites. Since these activities are charged, that’s where the developers of Cld-secure.com get their revenue. For them to get tons of profit as much as possible, these cyber crooks might also use the virtual layer or other technologies to display ads on every website you go to. Be careful as you could end up getting redirected from annoying websites to malware-laden websites that could potentially harm your computer or steal your personal information.
In addition, Cld-secure.com is also capable of tracking your browsing activities so it can collect your information – from your IP address, browsing history, websites you often visit, ads clicked, search queries, etc. The information gathered is used to generate more targeted ads and could also be shared with its affiliated sites so you shouldn’t waste any time and erase Cld-secure.com from your computer ASAP.
How does Cld-secure.com circulate online?
