Eatyellowmango.com Redirect

Also Known As: eatyellowmango.com pop-up
Type: Adware
Damage level: Medium

What is eatyellowmango.com?

Identical to apple-panda.com, clicknshare.net, click-cpa.net, and many others, eatyellowmango.com is a rogue website designed to cause redirects to other random and suspicious sites.

Research shows that users often visit eatyellowmango.com inadvertently - they are redirected by various potentially unwanted (usually adware-type) programs (PUPs). Be aware that PUPs also deliver intrusive online advertisements and record various data relating to users' Internet browsing activity.

eatyellowmango.com adware

Rogue applications randomly open new browsing windows and redirect users to eatyellowmango.com, which, in turn, causes a second redirect to a random (potentially, malicious) website. Therefore, you might be forced to visit sites that contain infectious content. Redirects to eatyellowmango.com can thus lead to high-risk computer infections.

PUPs deliver various intrusive online ads that often conceal underlying website content, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience. In addition, intrusive ads also redirect users to malicious websites or even execute scripts designed to download and install malware/PUPs. Therefore, clicking them can result in further computer infections.

Another downside is information tracking. Most PUPs gather data (for example, IP addresses, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, mouse/keyboard activity, geo-locations, etc.) likely to contain personal details.

PUP developers aim to generate as much revenue as possible by selling these details to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who also aim to increase their revenue by misusing the collected data in various ways. Therefore, the presence of data-tracking applications might lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. We strongly advise to uninstall all PUPs immediately.

All PUPs are very similar. By offering various "useful features", they attempt to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install. In fact, PUPs deliver no significant value for regular users and are designed only to generate revenue for the developers.

As mentioned above, these programs cause unwanted redirects (thereby promoting various websites), deliver intrusive online advertisements (using the "Pay Per Click" advertising model), and collect various user-system information (which is later sold to third parties).

Many of the promoted websites are fake search engines designed only to generate revenue for the developers. Their behavior is very similar to PUPs: they promote other websites (by generating fake search results), display intrusive ads, and collect various user-system information. Therefore, using fake search engines is very risky.

How did adware install on my computer?

Criminals proliferate PUPs using intrusive advertisements, however, they are also distributed using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" - stealth installation of third party applications with regular software/apps. Therefore, users often install PUPs inadvertently, without their consent.

Developers hide bundled apps within the "Custom/Advanced" settings of the download or installation processes. By rushing these processes, skipping steps, and also clicking various ads, users commonly expose their systems to risk of various infections and compromise their privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Be very careful when downloading and installing software. Download your software from official sources only and select the direct download URL, rather than using third party download tools.

If, however, a third party downloader is the only option provided, cancel the entire process or at least carefully analyze each download/installation step (especially the "Custom/Advanced" options). Third party download tools often bundle PUPs. Frequently, users are able to opt-out of these, however, in some cases, they are concealed.

Therefore, we strongly advise you to avoid using these tools. Furthermore, never click online ads. These often appear genuine and it is virtually impossible to determine which originate from the visited website. Do not take the risk of clicking them. The main reasons for computer infections are lack of knowledge and careless behavior. The key to computer safety is caution.
