Stop redirects to and from veinlacrolat.pro

Also Known As: veinlacrolat.pro pop-up
Damage level: Medium

What is veinlacrolat[.]pro?

Veinlacrolat[.]pro is a rogue website, akin to naneso.comnewsredir.comgoodmedia.me and many others. It operates by redirecting visitors to unreliable and possibly malicious sites, as well as delivering hazardous content for user consumption. Most cases of entry to veinlacrolat[.]pro are unintentional and happen through unauthorized redirects.

Intrusive advertisements and PUAs (potentially unwanted applications) are both capable of causing such redirects. It must be noted that PUAs do not need express user permission to be installed onto their devices. Once successfully infiltrated, PUAs generate redirects to unreliable/malicious sites, deliver invasive ad campaigns and track user data.

veinlacrolat[.]pro pop-up redirects

Rogue websites are promoted by PUAs and intrusive adverts. By clicking on invasive ads, users can get redirected to veinlacrolat[.]pro and sites akin to it. PUAs behave similarly, by force-opening new browser tabs/windows and redirecting users to such websites.

The first action that veinlacrolat[.]pro takes is checking visitor's IP (Internet Protocol) address, in order to learn their geolocation. Once that is done, it either redirects users elsewhere and/or presents them with highly suspect content (including click-bait). This site also misuses browser notifications, by disguising the consent option under click-bait it tricks users into consenting to them.

When the notifications are allowed, veinlacrolat[.]pro begins delivering aggressive intrusive advertisement campaigns. These adverts are deemed a threat, due to the potentially malicious sites they redirect to, also because of their ability to execute scripts, designed to download/install PUAs.

Unwanted applications cause redirects and run ad campaigns (pop-ups, banners, coupons and etc.). By employing an array of tools, the apps enable third party graphical content. Hence, the advertisements they deliver can severely diminish the browsing experience (e.g. limit browsing speed and cover original site content).

Another heinous ability that these rogue applications possess is data tracking. Information of interest includes: IP address, geolocation, browsing and search engine history, as well as personal details. What is crucial to understand, is that this data is then sold to third parties, possibly cyber criminals.

To summarize, presence of PUAs in a device - can lead to serious system invasions/infections and severe privacy issues (even culminate in identity theft). All rogue applications must be uninstalled without delay.

Most PUAs offer some kind of "practical" and "beneficial" features. Appearing legitimate and useful, they can easily slip into the devices of inexperienced users.

However, in most cased all promised features are nonfunctional. The only purpose that undesired apps serve is to generate revenue for their developers; for users they are entirely useless. PUAs generate redirects, delver intrusive advertisements and collect sensitive user data.

How did adware install on my computer?

By clicking on invasive adverts, users can trigger them to make autonomous downloads/installs of unwanted apps. Although, that is not the only way that PUAs spread. "Bundling" is a false marketing method, when regular software is packed together with rogue applications.

By downloading from untrustworthy sources, users can easily get bundled programs. Opting-out from these malicious additions is often possible, however by skipping steps, ignoring possible options and using pre-set settings - users can install PUAs into their devices.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is highly recommended to use only official and verified sources to download software. It is ill-advised to use peer-to-peer sharing networks (e.g. BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.) and other third party downloaders, as programs there are quite likely to be pre-packed with PUAs.

Install recommendations include: reading terms, exploring possible options, using "Custom/Advanced" settings and opting-out/declining additional applications/features. When browsing, it is strongly advised to avoid suspicious sites and advertisements.

The latter is very important, due to the fact that invasive adverts often appear legitimate and harmless. However, the websites they redirect to are usually not as good at hiding their unreliability; for example, gambling, pornographic, adult-dating and the like.

Should users encounter such ads/redirects, they are recommended to inspect their systems for any dubious applications and/or browser extensions/plug-ins - if found, immediately removed. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

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.
