Homerous.net is a malicious and intrusive phishing website. If you’re unsure of what that means exactly, it’s quite straightforward. After all, it’s called “phishing” for a reason. These types of websites have a lot in common with how fishing works. They operate just like a real-life fisherman would. Try to imagine the following situation. A fisherman goes to sea to try to catch fish, and what does he do? He casts his lure and waits. He waits for the fish to bite. That’s the general concept of a phishing website. It’s designed to deceive you. The site casts its lure and hopes someone falls victim to its schemes, and “bites”. Don’t be that fish that bites! Don’t fall victim to Homerous.net’s trickery! As soon as you first encounter this website, do your best to find the malware that’s lurking somewhere in your system, forcing it to pop up incessantly, and delete it! Get rid of that malevolent, intrusive, and harmful tool the first chance you get! You’ll save yourself a ton of headaches and troubles, and your future self will thank you for it.

How did I get infected with?

The tool behind Homerous.net sneaks into your system undetected by resorting to the usual antics. Even though it is bound to seek your permission before it installs itself, don’t think that this will help you in any way because it won’t. That minor detail doesn’t slow it down one bit, and you don’t even see it coming. It’s highly resourceful when it comes to gaining access to your computer. It’s so skilled in the arts of deceit that it not only dupes you into permitting it in, but also manages to keep you oblivious to the fact that you did. More often than not, it sneaks in by hitching a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest way in. That’s because users tend to rush its installation process and instead of carefully reading the terms and conditions, they just agree to everything. That’s a horrendous idea that results in horrible consequences. Other preferred ways of infiltration include hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites. Also, it can pose as a bogus system or program update, like Java or Adobe Flash Player. Protect yourself and your computer from the damages the phishing website can and will cause you by being more careful and not rushing! Don’t give into naivety, haste, and distraction as they’re not your friends, but rather your enemies.

Why are these ads dangerous?

If you visit the Homerous.net page, you’ll be greeted by a big red warning. It informs you that the website has been blocked because it was reported as fraudulent. Such is the fate of most, if not all, phishing sites. They’re bogus and harmful, and they usually last no more than two or three weeks. Then they’re taken down, and all that’s left of them is that warning. If you allow this page to continue interrupting your browsing experience, you should brace yourself for a whole bundle of troubles. For one, pretty soon you’ll start to experience the “joys” of the never-ending disturbance of pop-up ads. That’s right. The website forces you to endure adware’s most obnoxious trait. And, since the ads will pop up incessantly, they’ll lead to frequent system crashes and a slower computer performance. Furthermore, since the pop-ups are so immensely unreliable, they pose a severe malware threat. If you click on just one of the pop-up ads being thrown your way, you’ll unwillingly agree to install more unwanted malware, which will cause even further damages to your system. Unfortunately, even the threat of more malware installs will pale in comparison to the grave security risk you’ll be placed under. Once the malware behind Homerous.net slithers its way into your system, it starts to spy on you. It keeps a thorough record of your every move, and when it determines it has collected enough data from you, it sends it to the unknown third parties that published it. Are you willing to hand your private life to strangers with agendas? Think long and hard before you decide.
