Tumri.net was created by Tumri Inc. and the ad business helped the company to earn large quantity of money in 2009. It was a refined platform back then. For some reasons, which could be that tumri.net with bug profit became the target by cyber criminals (though there’s no official statement by Tumri Inc.) or that Tumri Inc wants to gain more income, some rogue techniques have been adopted.
By publishing advertisements for more and more operators, it can be easily imagined that the ad business will definitely grow bigger. If more businesses are promoted due to the ad, more money will be gained. To stick around, tumri.net holds a fat chance directing traffic to some commercial sites even if it is made mistakenly by victims and finally helping build a business after its bombardment with attractive products. Obviously tumri.net AOL malware works only to gain as much money as possible.
Due to some rogue techniques, tumri.net/als/als manages to stay on the target machine without being removed easily. VBScript and JavaScript are employed to manipulate DNS settings, track down victim’s online whereabouts and analyze browsing history so as to help pop up favorable products for possibly higher click rate. Its data files such as .dat and .dll files are injected into host, leading to modified homepage and denied access to certain web sites, the ones offering security service especially.
What’s worse, tumri.net and its partners’ web sites are readily exploited by malware such as coolwebsearch and virus such as HEUR.Trojan.Win32.Generic, even CryptoDefense ransowmare. There’s one thing about which one should know that only poorly programmed and written websites require rogue means to achieve publicity as they don’t meet the ranking standard both in the content and structure. Bugs can be easily found within loose structures. Once an infection is exploiting a bug on the site to which tumri.net takes victims, the connected computer will be certainly affected.
