About this threat

Kergaukr.com promotes one of those scams that tries to get user personal information in exchange for a supposed gift. Pop-ups with this URL might appear because you were redirected from some questionable website, or because adware has infected your computer.

Whichever case it may be, do not engage with this scam, and never provide your personal information to random parties on the Internet. Your personal data is valuable, not only to you but also to cyber crooks, so be careful about who has access to it. The pop-up will claim that you have been chosen to participate in some kind game to win a reward. If you press ‘OK’, you will be able to play the game. You will definitely win something, and in order to reclaim the prize, you are asked to provide your personal information, which may not seem unusual as how else would they send you the prize. However, whatever you have ‘won’ will definitely not be sent to you. Instead, your personal data will be sold/shared with dubious parties, and you can expect scam attempts in some form. If you are dealing with adware, the pop-ups might be a regular occurrence, and to make them stop, you would need to delete Kergaukr.com adware.

Why are you seeing the pop-ups?

If you were visiting a dubious website during the redirect, it was likely just a one time thing. However, adware could also be the cause. If it is, you are probably seeing an increase in ads in general. Adware could have entered your computer via freeware bundles. If may have been attached to some free program that you installed, and because you did not deselect it, it installed. If you want to prevent these kind of infections in the future, you need to be more attentive when installing free programs. If you don’t intend to read all the information provided during program installation, at least make sure you opt for Advanced or Custom settings. Those settings will allow you to review all attached offers, and if need be, deselect them. We would recommend you closely review the items you want to install, and make sure they will not become unpleasant surprises.

The people behind these pop-ups are intending to gain your personal information. More advanced computer users will immediately see it as it is, a scam. However, those who are not regular Internet users might fall for them, and end up giving away their sensitive information. This particular pop-up will claim that you have been chosen to participate in a game to win a prize. Likely, you will be asked to spin the wheel with various prizes on it. If you spin it, you will probably win something, and since they have to send you the prize somehow, your contact information will be asked. If you scroll down, you will see comments from various ‘winners’, claiming that they thought it was a scam too but actually received the prizes. It’s not difficult to write fake reviews, and there in no reason to trust them. One thing to remember when browsing the Internet is that no one will give you anything for free, no matter how convincing it may seem. Be very careful about who gets access your personal information, and never provide it to dubious parties.
