Eliminate redirects to and from check-out-this.site

What is check-out-this[.]site?

check-out-this[.]site is a deceptive website that shares similarities with edchargina.pro, forryortitwas.info, chainthorn.com and dozens of other rogue sites. The purpose of check-out-this[.]site is to feed visitors with dubious content and redirect them to other rogue sites.

Many visitors end up visiting this site inadvertently, since they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) and intrusive advertisements delivered by untrustworthy websites. PUAs typically infiltrate computers without consent, record information relating to browsing activity, and deliver intrusive advertisements.

Generally, PUAs start force-opening new browser tabs/windows and redirecting users to check-out-this[.]site, which then delivers certain content and/or redirects visitor elsewhere - everything depends on the visitor's geolocation (determined by checking the IP address).

In any case, users might encounter malicious content, and thus redirects to and from check-out-this[.]site can lead to system infections. As mentioned, unwanted applications also deliver intrusive advertisements. To achieve this, PUAs employ tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site.

The ads often conceal underlying content, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience. Furthermore, the advertisements might also redirect to malicious sites and even execute scripts that download/install other PUAs. Therefore, clicking them can also lead to computer infections.

Another important issue is information tracking. PUAs record information such as IP addresses, URLs visited, web pages viewed, search queries, geolocations, and so on. Collected information usually includes personal details that developers share with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

These people generate revenue by misusing private information. Thus, data tracking might lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to eliminate all PUAs immediately.

Research shows that all potentially unwanted applications are very similar. By offering "useful features", they attempt to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install, however, their only purpose is to generate revenue for the developers. All claims to enable useful functions are fake. In fact, PUAs merely cause unwanted redirects, gather information, and deliver advertisements.

How did adware install on my computer?

Potentially unwanted applications are generally infiltrate computers without users' consent. This is due to the distribution methods (intrusive advertising and "bundling") used by the developers. "Bundling" is essentially stealth installation of third party applications together with regular software.

Developers hide "bundled" applications behind "Custom/Advanced" settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes. Furthermore, many users often click advertisements and skip download/installation steps. This behavior often leads to inadvertent installation of third party applications.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To prevent computer infiltration by PUAs, be very cautious when browsing the Internet and downloading/installing software. Remember that intrusive advertisements usually seem legitimate, however, most redirect to dubious websites such as surveys, gambling, pornography, and adult dating (these are just some examples from many).

If you encounter these ads/redirects, eliminate all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins. Furthermore, download apps from official sources only, preferably using direct download links. Third party downloaders/installers often include rogue applications, and thus these tools should never be used.

Additionally, study each window of the download/installation dialogs using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings. Opt-out of additionally-included programs and decline offers to download/install them.

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.
