Gatonsenropha.info POP-UP Ads

What is gatonsenropha[.]info?

gatonsenropha[.]info is yet another rogue website designed to redirect visitors to other untrustworthy websites and deliver dubious content. It is virtually identical to knowwoow.com, tinhowsinutha.pro, androponhowrow.info, and dozens of other sites.

Many users visit gatonsenropha[.]info inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive ads delivered by other rogue sites. Be aware that PUAs typically infiltrate computers without users' permission. As well as causing redirects, they deliver intrusive advertisements and gather data relating to browsing activity.

After successful infiltration, potentially unwanted applications continually force-open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users  to gatonsenropha[.]info. This website is designed to check the visitor's IP address to determine the geolocation.

In this way, gatonsenropha[.]info ascertains whether to redirect users even further or deliver dubious content  gatonsenropha[.]info sometimes does both). Users might then encounter malicious content (delivered by rogue sites or gatonsenropha[.]info itself). Thus, visiting this site can lead to various system infections.

The same applies to clicking intrusive ads. Potentially unwanted applications deliver coupons, banners, pop-ups, and other similar advertisements. These often redirect to dubious websites and sometimes even run scripts designed to download/install additional unwanted apps. Therefore, even a single accidental click can result in a computer infection.

Intrusive advertisements are delivered using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, they often conceal underlying content, thereby significantly diminish the browsing experience. Potentially unwanted applications are also notorious for data tracking.

They often record IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other information relating to browsing habits. This information is then shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who generate revenue by misusing private information.

Therefore, data tracking can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. All potentially unwanted applications should be eliminated immediately.

The internet is full of rogue apps, all of which are virtually identical. By offering many "useful features", they attempt to give the impression of legitimacy. In fact, these programs provide no real value for regular users. The purpose of all PUAs is to generate revenue for the developers. They merely cause unwanted redirects, gather information, and deliver intrusive advertisements.

How did adware install on my computer?

Potentially unwanted applications are free for anyone to download on their official websites, however, most are distributed using intrusive advertising and "bundling" methods. "Bundling" is essentially stealth installation of PUAs together with regular (usually free) software.

Developers know that many users rush download/installation processes and skip steps. Therefore, "bundled" apps are typically hidden behind "Custom/Advanced" settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes. By carelessly clicking on advertisements and skipping steps, some users expose their systems to risk of various threats and compromise their privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

The main reasons for computer infections are poor knowledge and careless behavior. The key to its safety is caution. Therefore, pay close attention when browsing the Internet and downloading/installing software. Bear in mind that intrusive advertisements typically seem legitimate.

Once clicked, however, they redirect to gambling, adult dating, pornography, and other dubious websites. If you encounter these ads/redirects, immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins. Furthermore, select "Custom/Advanced" settings and carefully analyze each window of the download/installation dialogs.

Opt-out of additionally-included programs and cancel offers to download/install them. You should download software from official sources only, using direct download links.

Developers monetize third party downloaders/installers using the "bundling" method, and thus these tools should never be used. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
