How to remove redirects to and from dancewithlittleredpony.com

What is dancewithlittleredpony[.]com?

dancewithlittleredpony[.]com is a rogue website designed to feed people with dubious content and redirect them to other rogue sites. It is virtually identical to dozens of other rogue sites, such as thegoodcaster.com, freshaudio.net, and finderient.com.

Most visitors arrive at dancewithlittleredpony[.]com inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements encountered on other rogue sites. PUAs typically infiltrate computers without users' consent, cause redirects, generate advertisements, and monitor browsing activity.

Following infiltration, PUAs force-open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users to dancewithlittleredpony[.]com. This site then immediately determines the geolocation and ascertains whether to redirect the user elsewhere or deliver dubious content (or both). In any case, users might be presented with malicious content.

Thus, redirects to and from this site can lead to system infections. Intrusive advertisements are also likely to redirect to malicious websites, and some even execute scripts that download/install malware. Thus, even a single accidental click might result in high-risk computer infections.

Intrusive ads are delivered using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, they often conceal underlying content, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience. PUAs also track browsing activity by recording information such as IP addresses, website URLs visited, web pages viewed, search queries, and so on.

Collected information is likely to contain personal details that developers share with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who generate revenue by misusing private data. Therefore, information tracking might lead to certain privacy issues or even identity theft. Remove all potentially unwanted applications immediately.

The internet is full of potentially unwanted applications, all of which are virtually identical. These typically offer "useful features" in attempts to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install. In fact, PUAs usually have just one purpose: to generate revenue for the developers.

Thus, they usually deliver no real value for regular users, cause unwanted redirects, gather information, and deliver intrusive advertisements.

How did adware install on my computer?

A small percentage of PUAs have official download websites, however, most are proliferated using intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called "bundling", which is essentially stealth installation of third party applications with regular software.

Developers know that many users often rush download/installation processes and skip steps.

Therefore, "bundled" applications are intentionally hidden within "Custom/Advanced" settings (or other sections) of these procedures. By skipping download/installation steps and clicking dubious advertisements, many users expose their systems to risk of various infections and compromise their privacy .

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To prevent this situation be very cautious during the download/installation processes, and when browsing the Internet in general. We strongly recommend that you avoid using third party downloaders/installers, since most are monetized using the "bundling" method. Software should be downloaded from official sources only, using direct download links.

Furthermore, select "Custom/Advanced" settings and carefully analyze each window of the download/installation dialogs. Deselect all additionally-included programs and decline offers to download/install them. Intrusive advertisements usually seem legitimate, as developers invest many resources into their design.

In fact, they often redirect to dubious websites (gambling, adult dating, pornography, and similar). If you encounter these ads/redirects, uninstall all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins immediately.

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

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
