N282adserv.com is a virus that triggers browser redirects to its domain which is n282adserv.com/impression.gif?b= that makes users believe that they have won too-good-to-be-true prizes such as a new iPhone and other kinds of prizes. Apart from that, it might also offer you suspicious programs like PC optimization programs, antivirus programs, malware remover program and other kinds of ads which is why not only it is categorized as a browser redirect but also as an adware due to its excessive display of ads and pop-ups.

Don’t even think about believing that you’ve won some kind of prize this is just as worse as a fake computer virus alert which are also browser redirects. Some of these deceiving “you’ve won a prize” alert may prompt you to answer a couple of survey questions before you can get your prize which is of course another ploy to trick you into providing your personal information such as email addresses, passwords, etc. This may result in the flooding of spam emails on your inbox that may be attached with an infected file. That’s why as soon as you are redirected to these kinds of sites, don’t hesitate to close the tab or the web browser.
