Browser hijackers promote fake search engines by changing browser settings such as the address of the default search engine, homepage, and new tab. They also promote various PUAs including, for example, browser hijackers and adware-type apps. Deceptive web pages such as this are often opened through other dubious pages, deceptive ads or installed PUAs. All software should be downloaded directly from official websites or distribution platforms (e.g., Apple App Store). Note that deceptive pages should never be trusted, even if they advertise legitimate applications. After clicking the 'Install & Register Now' button, visitors are redirected to the download page of the Secured VPN Pro application. When visited, this deceptive website displays a pop-up window stating that, to continue watching a video, users must download a free VPN application. People do not often visit these sites intentionally and, therefore, neither the web pages nor apps promoted through them can be trusted. Typically, these web pages are opened when users click deceptive ads, visit dubious websites or already have PUAs installed on browser and/or operating systems. This particular website suggests that, to continue watching a video, visitors must download and install an app called Secured VPN Pro.

There are many deceptive websites on the internet used to trick people into downloading and installing potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).
