Havenotifyfriends.info POP-UP Ads

What is havenotifyfriends[.]info?

havenotifyfriends[.]info is virtually identical to other rogue websites such as oraronerethet[.]info, newchannel[.]club, and hatnofort[.]com.

When visited, it displays dubious content or causes redirects to other untrustworthy websites. People are forced to visit the site by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that are installed on their computers (browsers). PUAs usually gather data and feed users with intrusive advertisements.

Installed PUAs open havenotifyfriends[.]info in a new browser window or tab, and then this page redirects visitors to two or three other untrustworthy websites (some of which might be malicious). Rather than causing unwanted redirects, the site might display dubious content. This depends on the visitors's geolocation.

Furthermore, PUAs often feed users with coupons, banners, surveys, pop-up ads, and so on. These conceal visited website content, are annoying, and if clicked, usually cause redirects to potentially malicious websites. Some can run scripts that download and install other unwanted (potentially, malicious) applications.

When installed, some PUAs continuously collect data (IP addresses, geolocations, URLs of visited websites, entered search queries, and so on). Their developers share gathered data with other parties, possibly cyber criminals who misuse it to generate revenue. Some of the data might contain personal details.

Having PUAs of this type installed might cause problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, or even identity theft. Typically, they provide no real value (features, tools, or other benefits). Most PUAs generate revenue for their developers by causing redirects to untrustworthy websites, displaying ads, and gathering data. We strongly recommend that you uninstall all PUAs immediately.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are usually installed without users' knowledge through intrusive advertisements or when developers employ a deceptive marketing method called "bundling", which they use to trick people into downloading and installing unwanted applications together with other (usually free) software.

They do not disclose information regarding additionally-included (bundled) applications and hide them in "Custom", "Advanced", and other similar parts of software set-ups. Furthermore, many users skip steps without checking included settings, thereby causing unintentional download and installation of PUAs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Check available options ("Custom", "Advanced", etc.) of the download or installation setup. Do not allow unwanted apps to be downloaded and installed with other regular software. Download software using trustworthy sources such as official websites (and direct download links).

Do not use third party channels, downloaders (or installers), Peer-to-Peer networks such as eMule, torrent clients, unofficial websites, and so on. Do not trust/click intrusive ads, since they often cause redirects to untrustworthy websites (such as gambling, adult dating, pornography, and other dubious pages).

If you often encounter unwanted redirects and intrusive ads, check the list of applications installed on your browser and programs on your computer. If there are any suspicious, unwanted or unknown apps/programs, remove them immediately.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
