Have you recently downloaded new software from Zippyshare.com? If this is why you are reading this report, we suggest that you closely inspect all installed applications. If untrustworthy software is found, it must be erased completely.
Zippyshare.com will not automatically download malicious software on your computer if you enter it, but it is only a question of time when you will end up with malware if you keep downloading software from this website. As our researchers have observed, this file-sharing website not only contains various advertisements and can cause redirections to untrustworthy websites, but it might also contain fake buttons. If you click on any of them expecting that the download of reliable software will start, you will initiate the malware download. Theoretically, you might download anything from Zippyshare.com. If you click on a wrong button or a malicious advertisement, you might end up with adware, potentially unwanted programs, or even browser hijackers and Trojans. Not all malicious applications are equally bad. For example, a potentially unwanted application is far from a Trojan infection, but it does not mean that you can keep less dangerous application installed.
As mentioned, technically, Zippyshare.com is an ordinary file-sharing website that allows uploading files, but our piece of advice for you would be not to download any uploaded applications from it since it might contain buttons, links, and advertisements leading straight to malware.
