How to avoid redirects to and from stremanp.com
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is stremanp[.]com?
stremanp[.]com is virtually identical to many other websites of this type including, for example, best2019-games-web1[.]com, piedppienews[.]com, and newsapp[.]biz. When opened, these sites redirect visitors to other rogue websites or display dubious content.
Note that stremanp[.]com redirects visitors to potentially malicious sites. Typically, browsers open these websites due to potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that are installed on them.
Therefore, most people do not visit them intentionally. Furthermore, PUAs often gather browsing-related data and display intrusive ads. Many people download and install apps of this type unintentionally.

Typically, installed PUAs open websites such as stremanp[.]com in a new browser window or tab. Note that stremanp[.]com opens about 2-3 potentially malicious web pages. Additionally, sites opened through stremanp[.]com display pop-up windows asking for permission to show notifications.
Do not allow these websites to show notifications, since they will start to display dubious notifications, ads, and so on. These web pages commonly trick visitors into allowing display of notifications using the clickbait technique: they ask to verify age, prove that the visitor is not a robot, and so on.
One web web page opened by stremanp[.]com claims that clicking the "Allow" button will play a video. When visitors click the button, they inadvertently grant another page permission to show unwanted content.
As mentioned, most PUAs record information relating to users including, for example, IP addresses, addresses of visited websites, entered search queries, geolocations, etc. Some also gather personal, sensitive details. Developers share the details with third parties who misuse them to generate revenue.
Some of these third parties might be cyber criminals. Many PUAs also display unwanted ads such as coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, and so on. If clicked, these redirect users to dubious websites or download/install unwanted apps (possibly, malware).

Most PUAs are disguised as legitimate programs that supposedly provide various features or are useful in some way. In fact, few operate as advertised. They simply cause redirects to dubious web pages, display ads, and collect data.
To avoid problems relating to privacy, browsing safety, unwanted downloads/installations, or even identity theft, we recommend that you uninstall all PUAs immediately.
How did adware install on my computer?
People sometimes download and install potentially unwanted applications intentionally, however, they are mostly downloaded/installed through clicked deceptive advertisements or the set-ups of various programs. To distribute PUAs through download or installation set-ups, developers use a deceptive marketing method called "bundling".
They include unwanted apps into the set-ups of other programs and hide related information in settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", and so on. Many people fail to check these settings and leave them unchanged, thereby giving PUAs permission to be downloaded and installed with other, regular software.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
Download files and programs using trustworthy sources such as official websites and direct download links. Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule), dubious websites, third party downloaders, installers and other sources of this kind should not be trusted. They are often used as tools to distribute unwanted, potentially malicious software.
Check all setup settings such as "Advanced", "Custom", etc., and opt-out of offers to download or install additional, unwanted apps.
Do not click intrusive ads, especially those displayed on rogue websites. If these ads appear on any visited website and/or the browser causes redirects to untrustworthy websites, check for unwanted apps (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins) installed on the browser, and programs on the computer.
Remove unwanted entries immediately. 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.
