Where did Ssventp pop-ups come from?

The main and most widespread technique to access the pop-up spamming site is to explore content on warez sites, pages containing pirated content, and the like. The individuals responsible for such uncertain venues aim to counterbalance expenses via redirects, often as a promotional strategy. This type of redirection is commonly known as an “anti-bot verification”.

A further plausible origin of pop-up advertisements is adware, currently active within your system.

However, this scenario is relatively uncommon, as such malware employs its own, more effective approach to showcasing advertisements.

Are Ssventp pop-up ads dangerous?

Yes, they are. Initially, they can look non-threatening – just a blinking pop-up that appears a couple times in an hour. However, the contents of this window differ sharply from what you generally see in pop-up advertisements. Ssventp.com web page is controlled by crooks, who intendedly throw tons of malicious ads in pop-ups. They also don’t follow any manners of advertising and can launch sporadic pop-up ads into a hurricane of promotions. For weak computers, that may be enough to make the system slower. But problems are not over at this point.

Why people dislike popups

As any other thing related to illegal ads, Ssventp pop-up notifications lack legit offers. Even when hackers make the banners similar to ones from Walmart or Amazon, the website these banners will throw you to are completely different. And these pages can offer you to turn on other pop-ups, install a “useful” program, or pay for a thing at a big discount and never receive it. Let’s leave aside the cases when push notifications promote phishing pages or straightforward malware. There’s no way these pages will bring you any good, thus interacting with them is a very bad idea. For the same reason, Ssventp pop-up notifications are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.

# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

Find the hosts.txt file in C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc directory. Rename this file to “hosts.old.txt” (to distinguish it from the new one), and then move the file you created on the desktop to this folder. Remove the hosts.old from this folder. Now you have your hosts file as good as new.
