Stopping redirects to/from global-best.net

What is global-best[.]net?

Global-best[.]net is a rogue website, designed to cause undesirable redirects to compromised, possibly malicious sites and for the promotion of highly dubious content. There are thousands of rogue sites out there (for example, prioritynotifications.com, mediasource.online, viralupdatestoday.com, etc.) and they share many similarities in-between.

Intentional access to global-best[.]net is rare, most of its visitors get redirected to it. These redirects are mainly caused by intrusive advertisements and by PUAs (potentially unwanted applications). It should be noted that these apps can infiltrate devices without user consent and/or knowledge.

PUAs cause redirects, deliver intrusive ad campaigns (e.g. pop-ups, banners, coupons, etc.) and some can even track data.

Rogue sites are promoted by invasive adverts, once clicked redirecting users to global-best[.]net and the like. Additionally, these websites are spread by PUAs opening new browser tabs/windows and causing redirects. The global-best[.]net website operates by firstly checking visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, in order to find out their geolocations.

This information is crucial to its further course of action. Once known, the site either redirects users elsewhere or begins feeding them questionable material. Either way, visitors are guaranteed to encounter malicious content, therefore visiting global-best[.]net is strongly discouraged.

This rogue website also misemploys browser notifications, which if allowed - begin running intrusive ad campaigns. However the consent option is disguised with click-bait (for example: "click here to get latest/viral news/videos/articles", "click here to verify that you're not a robot", "your page is loading, click here to continue" and etc.).

Invasive advertisements are considered a threat, due to the unreliable/malicious sites they redirect to and some can even execute scripts designed to autonomously download/install PUAs. As previously mentioned, such rogue applications can cause unauthorized redirects and run intrusive ad campaigns.

By using a variety of tools, they enable third party graphical content. Hence, the adverts they deliver (pop-ups, banners, coupons and etc.) can negatively affect the browsing experience: limit speed and cover original site content. Another ability some undesired apps possess is data tracking.

Monitoring user browsing activity (browsing and search engine history) allows them to gather personal information (IP address, geolocation, identity details). All PUAs are designed to generate revenue for their developers, the data-tracking kind do so by selling information.

Therefore it is not unlikely that users' personal information could end up in the hands of cyber criminals, even culminate in identity theft. In conclusion, presence of PUAs in one's device can lead to serious system and browser infections, as well as severe privacy and identity issues. To ensure device and user safety, all rogue applications should be eliminated immediately.

PUAs are innumerous and share many corresponding traits. To further their malicious product, designers attempt to make PUAs appear legitimate and useful. By offering "beneficial" and "practical" features, they can trick users into installation.

However, it must be stressed that most of these features are nonfunctional, as PUAs serve only the purpose of creating profit for their designers. In other words, instead of functioning as promised, these applications cause redirects, deliver advertisement campaigns and track data.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most PUA invasions occur through program install packs/bundles. "Bundling" is a false marketing method, by which regular software is packed along with unwanted applications. While opting-out from installing these additions can be possible, the options tend to be buried within numerous install windows and the "Custom/Advanced" settings.

Users who tend to move through the installation process quickly and not follow proper procedure - endanger themselves to PUA infiltrations and all the risks they themselves carry.

These apps are also furthered by invasive advertisements. When clicked they can execute scripts to initiate unauthorized downloads/installs of PUAs. In summary, undesired applications invade systems due to user inexperience and carelessness when browsing and installing programs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Users should always use official and verified sources for their software downloads (ideally, via direct download links). It is ill-advised to use third party downloaders as they are deemed untrustworthy and are more likely to provide bundled installation packs.

When installing programs, it is recommended to study terms and use "Custom/Advanced" settings, also to opt-out/decline any supplementary applications/features. Browsing recommendations include avoiding suspicious websites and advertisements.

It should be noted that intrusive adverts tend to look utterly ordinary and harmless, intentionally designed this way to lure more users into clicking them. However the sites they redirect to (gambling, pornography, adult-dating and hundreds of other examples) - are more obvious in their unreliability.

After encounters with such ads/redirects users are strongly advised to inspect their devices for dubious applications and/or browser extensions/plug-ins, upon detection - followed up with immediate removal. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
