Get rid of redirects to and from alballaim.com

What is alballaim[.]com?

Like solo85.biz, topernews.me, rumiceseeds.com, nerinlelighda.pro and many others, alballaim[.]com is a rogue site. It is designed to deliver highly dubious content for user consumption and to generate redirects to other unreliable/malicious websites. This webpage is rarely accessed intentionally or happened upon by accident.

In most cases, users get redirected to it by invasive advertisements or by PUAs (potentially unwanted applications). These undesirable apps cause redirects to dangerous websites, run invasive ad campaigns and spy on users' browsing habits. It should be noted, that PUAs do not need explicit user consent to invade their devices.

When clicked, invasive adverts (which usually look utterly ordinary and harmless) redirect users to alballaim[.]com. PUAs force-open new browser tabs/windows and generate a similar redirects to it. Once visited, the rogue webpage begins its course of action by checking users' IP addresses, in order to learn their geolocation.

Depending on this data it either redirects visitors elsewhere and/or pushes dubious content for their consumption. Regardless of its exact actions, visiting alballaim[.]com is strictly against recommendations, as visitors are bound to encounter malignant material sooner or later.

This site also uses browser notifications, the consent option to which it hides beneath clickbait (e.g. "Click 'Allow' to continue", "Your page is loading, tap here to proceed", "Press 'Allow' to verify, that you are not a robot" and others). If allowed, alballaim[.]com begins running intrusive advertisement campaigns.

These ads redirect to unreliable and potentially malicious pages, and they can also execute scripts to download/install PUAs. Unwanted applications, as stated in the introduction, are also capable of such redirects and they can deliver invasive advertisements.

Through use of various tools, these apps enable third party graphical content. Thereby delivering adverts (banners, pop-ups, surveys, coupons and etc.), which can overlay site content, consequently hindering browsing. Additionally, some undesirable applications have data tracking abilities.

By monitoring browsing activity, they can gather personal information. What is crucial to understand, is that this venerable data is shared with third parties (possibly, cyber criminals), intent on using it for financial gain.

In summary, aside from causing various browser and system invasions/infections, PUAs cal also lead to serious privacy issues (even identity theft). All detected rogue apps must be removed immediately, for device and user protection.

PUAs share many common traits. These applications typically look legitimate and innocuous. By offering a broad array of useful features, they trick users into installing them.

It is vital to understand, that the only purpose of these undesirable apps is to generate profit for their developers, therefore the abilities/features they boast are most likely nonoperational. Instead they cause redirects to untrustworthy and/or malignant websites, deliver invasive advertisement campaigns and track sensitive data.

How did adware install on my computer?

By clicking on random ads, users can stumble upon intrusive advertisements and thereby trigger them into executing scripts, which download/install PUAs. Another way that these rogue applications spread is through download/install setups of other programs.

"Bundling" is a term used to describe a deceptive marketing method, by which ordinary software is paired with unwanted content. Once such a bundled program is downloaded, by hastily moving through the installation process - users can miss any possible opt-out options and endanger their systems with various invasions or infections.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

In short, attentiveness and caution when browsing and downloading/installing are key to protecting devices from PUA infiltrations. When browsing, users are advised to avoid suspicious sites and to refrain from clicking on various advertisements. Software should be downloaded only from official and verified sources.

Using peer-to-peer sharing networks and other third party downloaders is ill-advised, as such are more likely to offer bundled programs. Installation recommendations include reading terms, studying possible options, using "Custom/Advanced" settings and opting-out/declining additional offers.

Should users encounter dubious ads and/or unauthorized redirects, they are strongly advised to perform a system check and remove all suspect applications and/or browser extensions. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
