Terminate redirects to and from the prioritynotifications.com website

What is prioritynotifications[.]com?

Similar to freehdsearch.com, exclusivenotifications.com, likemyculture.info, and many others, prioritynotifications[.]com is a rogue website designed to feed users with dubious content and redirect them to other dubious sites.

Most visitors arrive at prioritynotifications[.]com inadvertently, since they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) already present on the system, or intrusive ads delivered by other dubious sites. PUAs infiltrate computers without permission.

As well as causing redirects, they generate intrusive ads (coupons, banners, pop-ups, etc.) and monitor browsing activity.

To promote prioritynotifications[.]com, PUAs force-open new browser tabs/windows and automatically redirect users to this site, which then immediately determines the visitor's geolocation by checking the IP address. Then, prioritynotifications[.]com redirects users elsewhere or presents them with various dubious content - everything depends on the visitor's geolocation.

In any case, users might end up encountering malicious content. Thus, redirects to and from prioritynotifications[.]com can lead to system infections. The same applies to intrusive advertisements, which often redirect users to dubious sites or execute scripts that download and install PUAs.

Therefore, clicking them might also result in various computer infections. Bear in mind that PUAs deliver ads using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, they conceal underlying content, significantly diminishing the browsing experience.

PUAs are also known for data tracking. These apps track browsing activity by gathering data such as IP addresses, queries entered into search engines, URLs visited, pages viewed, and other similar information. The data is likely to contain personal details that developers share with third parties who generate revenue by misusing private information.

Therefore, data tracking can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. All PUAs should be uninstalled immediately.

The internet is full of potentially unwanted applications, all of which are virtually identical. By offering many "useful features", these apps attempt to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install.

Few PUAs provide the functionality promised. They cause redirects, deliver ads, and gather data, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience, and posing a threat to your privacy/computer safety. In summary, PUAs provide no real value for regular users.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs often install without users' consent. This is due to distribution methods used by cyber criminals. Developers proliferate these applications using intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called "bundling", which is essentially installation of third party programs together with regular (usually free) software.

Developers know that users are likely to rush download/installation processes and skip steps.

Therefore, they intentionally conceal "bundled" apps behind sections of these procedures. Users who click intrusive advertisements and skip download/installation steps often install rogue applications inadvertently. In this way, they expose their systems to risk of various infections and compromise their privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Pay close attention when downloading/installing software and browsing the internet to prevent computer infections. Select "Custom" or "Advanced" settings and carefully study each window of the download/installation dialogs. Opt-out of additionally-included programs and decline offers to download/install them.

Avoid using third party downloaders/installers, since developers often monetize them by promoting ("bundling") rogue software. Download programs from official sources only and, if possible, use direct download links. Additionally, bear in mind that developers invest many resources when designing intrusive ads.

Therefore, they often seem legitimate. In fact, they can redirect to dubious sites, such as pornography, adult dating, gambling, and similar. If you encounter these ads/redirects, check the list of installed applications/browser plug-ins and eliminate all suspicious entries.

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.
