How to remove browser redirects to loteron.com

What is loteron[.]com?

Like vakogid.com, markably.info, prioritynotifications.com, and many others, loteron[.]com is a rogue site intentionally designed to cause redirects to other dubious and dangerous websites. It also presents visitors with potentially malicious content.

Note that few users open this site intentionally - most are redirected by compromised sites, or the site is force-opened by PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications) already installed on the system. These applications do not require explicit user permission to be installed onto devices. PUAs are designed to cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and track user data.

Potentially unwanted applications are designed to automatically open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users to rogue sites (including loteron[.]com). Intrusive advertisements can also spread loteron[.]com. This website first checks visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to ascertain their geolocations, which then determines further action taken by loteron[.]com.

Depending on the geolocations, users are redirected to other, similarly dangerous websites and presented with dubious, possibly malicious content. Note that loteron[.]com also employs browser notifications. If allowed, these deliver aggressive, intrusive ad campaigns (pop-ups, banners, coupons, etc.).

The ads cause redirects and can sometimes even execute scripts to download/install unwanted applications without users' permission or knowledge. Furthermore, intrusive ads are usually delivered by allowing third party graphical content to be displayed on any site.

Therefore, the ads often conceal original site content, thereby diminishing the browsing experience. As mentioned, PUAs also have the ability to track data - they monitor and gather user information. Data of interest includes browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search engine history, etc.) and also personal details.

This information is then passed on to third parties (often criminals), who illegally misuse it to generate revenue. In summary, PUAs that are present on devices threaten system health, users' privacy, and can even lead to identity theft. We strongly advise that you remove all PUAs immediately.

There are many PUAs online, most of which implement various clever tactics to infiltrate computers. As well as rogue installs committed by intrusive ads, unwanted applications are often inadvertently granted permission by users to install on devices. By claiming to offer legitimate and useful software/features, they slip into systems.

Despite this, PUAs provide no real value for regular users - their only goal is to generate revenue for the developers. Once successfully installed onto devices, they cause redirects, deploy intrusive ad campaigns, and collect sensitive information.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most PUAs are installed onto systems by users unintentionally together with regular software that they wish to install. The designers of these malicious apps use a deceptive marketing method called "bundling", by which they include their product together with ordinary programs.

Noticing the presence of PUAs within an install pack/bundle can be difficult, as these apps can be hidden within the "Custom/Advanced" installation settings. Furthermore, inexperienced users have a tendency to skip steps and ignore possible options, and thus PUA infiltration becomes more likely.

Despite this, even attentive users can suffer computer infiltration by unwanted applications, since PUAs often appear as useful applications/features, thereby tempting users to install them. As mentioned, PUAs are also spread through intrusive advertisements.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

When downloading software, use official and verified sources only (ideally, direct download links). Do not use third party downloaders, since they often "bundle" programs with PUAs.

When installing software, carefully study the "Custom/Advanced" install settings, opt-out of any additional applications/features, and decline download/installation of this type of software from elsewhere. If enticed to install supplementary apps/features, carry out good research to ensure that the offer is legitimate.

When browsing, avoid suspicious websites and do not carelessly click advertisements. In fact, be very cautious when dealing with all ads, since the intrusive variety can often seem harmless. Note that intrusive ads can redirect to dubious websites (including pornography, adult-dating, gambling, etc.).

If you encounter these ads/redirects, immediately remove any suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
