What is rednews7[.]com?

rednews7[.]com is categorized as a rogue website, which operates in the same manner as mediasvideo[.]live, notification-list[.]com, system-sms[.]com, and many other websites of this type.

Generally, people visit websites such as rednews7[.]com inadvertently - they are redirected to them by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on their browsers and/or operating systems. Typically, these unwanted apps are installed without users' direct permission.

In most cases, PUAs force browsers to open dubious websites, collect browsing-related information, and display intrusive advertisements.

Once opened, rednews7[.]com checks the visitor's IP address. Depending on this information, it then opens a number (two or three) of other untrustworthy, potentially malicious web pages or delivers dubious content. Typically, pages such as rednews7[.]com lead to deceptive websites that are used to advertise rogue apps, contain dubious ads, and so on.

Neither rednews7[.]com nor any websites opened through it are trustworthy. Furthermore, rednews7[.]com often tricks visitors into allowing notifications using a 'clickbait' technique. In this case, rednews7[.]com asks visitors to verify that they are not robots by clicking the "Allow" button.

If clicked, this gives rednews7[.]com permission to show notifications. We advise against allowing untrustworthy pages to show any notifications. Furthermore, most PUAs record details such as users' IP addresses, entered search queries, addresses of visited pages, geolocations, and so on.

In some cases, they also target sensitive information. Developers send the data to other parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. Furthermore, PUAs might display advertisements. If clicked, these open dubious websites or run scripts that download and/or install PUAs.

Some of these apps might be malicious. Examples of ads that PUAs commonly display include coupons, banners, surveys, pop-up ads, etc. Having apps of this type installed might thus cause problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, and some users might even become victims of identity theft.

In most cases, PUAs do not function as advertised and are designed only to generate revenue for the developers. PUAs are described as useful and having various features and capabilities, and developers advertise them as legitimate apps. In fact, most people download and install these apps inadvertently and they are useless.

How did adware install on my computer?

Generally, people cause unwanted downloads and/or installations when they accidentally or intentionally click deceptive ads, which can run scripts to download and install PUAs, or when developers include unwanted apps into the set-ups of other software.

In the latter case, developers hide information about additionally-included PUAs in settings such as "Advanced", "Custom", and so on. Unfortunately, people often leave these settings unchecked and unchanged, thereby agreeing by default with offers to download or install additionally-included software.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

We advise against downloading/installing programs or files using third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule), unofficial websites, etc. The safest way to download is using official websites.

Check "Custom", "Advanced", and other similar settings that are available in download or installation set-ups, especially if downloaded software is free. When clicked, many intrusive advertisements redirect people to dubious, potentially websites or cause unwanted downloads/installations.

These ads are mostly displayed on web pages relating to gambling, pornography, adult dating, and others of this kind. To stop the browser from displaying ads and/or opening dubious sites, remove all unwanted apps (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins) that are installed.

Also remove any software of this kind installed on the operating system. 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.
