Tbrcv.pro POP-UP Redirect

What is tbrcv.pro?

tbrcv.pro is a rogue website (virtually identical to pusshnetwork.com, valusc.com, objectdexchange.com, and many others) that redirects users to various other untrustworthy sites.

Typically, users visit this website unintentionally - they are redirected to it by potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) installed on the system. Most PUPs are installed inadvertently, deliver intrusive ads, gather data, and misuse system resources.

Following infiltration, potentially unwanted programs start opening new windows or tabs in browsers and redirect users to the tbrcv.pro website, which then triggers additional (about 2-3) redirects to other untrustworthy or/and potentially malicious sites that could cause high-risk computer infections.

Furthermore, potentially unwanted programs collect user information including IP addresses, keystrokes, search queries, visited websites, geo-locations, and so on. Some of the collected data might include personally identifiable or sensitive information that is shared with third parties (potentially cyber criminals) and used to generate revenue.

These actions might lead to privacy issues or, in some cases, even identity theft. Furthermore, PUPs often deliver intrusive ads, such as banners, coupons, surveys, pop-ups, etc. These are usually displayed via tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site (thereby concealing underlying content).

When clicked, the ads redirect users to untrustworthy websites or execute scripts that download and install potentially unwanted programs. Furthermore, some PUPs start running various background tasks, thereby significantly reducing computer performance. You are advised to remove these programs immediately.

Many potentially unwanted programs offer users "useful" features and aim to give the impression of legitimacy, however, most are designed only to generate revenue by providing users with ads, etc. They deliver none of the functionality promised or give any other real value for regular users.

How did adware install on my computer?

Typically, potentially unwanted programs can be downloaded from their official websites however, in most cases, users install them inadvertently by clicking ads, or when developers use the "bundling" method. Bundling is a deceptive marketing method used by software developers to install potentially unwanted programs together with other regular software.

Developers typically do not disclose these installations properly and hide bundled software (PUPs) in "Custom"/"Advanced" options or settings of the installation processes. As a rule, most users tend to skip installation steps without paying attention to the details, thus allowing PUPs to be installed.

This behaviour often causes various computer infections, privacy issues, a diminished browsing experience, and other problems.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Be cautious when downloading and installing software - do not download software from untrustworthy websites, using third party software downloaders/installers or torrents. You are advised to use only official sources and direct links. Pay attention to the installation dialog details - do not skip installation steps and check "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar options/settings.

Avoid clicking on intrusive ads, even if they seem legitimate. Cyber criminals invest time and money into their design so that users can be tricked into clicking them.

If you clicked one of these ads and were redirected to adult dating, pornography, gambling, or other similar suspicious websites, close the sites immediately and check installed extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins on your browser and uninstall any suspicious/unwanted entries.

Also check the list of installed programs on your computer. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
