Stop redirects to and from pushstack.co

What is pushstack[.]co?

pushstack[.]co is an untrustworthy website that contains dubious content. If opened, it can redirect people to a number of other websites of this kind. Note that visitors do not generally arrive this site intentionally - websites such as pushstack[.]co are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on browsers and/or operating systems.

Furthermore, these apps are often designed to gather data and display ads. Some examples of web pages that have similar functionality to pushstack[.]co include shireamentsp[.]info, notify-system[.]com, and mediasvideo[.]live.

The aforementioned unwanted apps open dubious websites (such as pushstack[.]co) in a new browser window or tab. Once opened, these sites immediately redirect users to a number (about two or three) of other dubious pages or deliver dubious content.

The way they behave depends on the visitor's geographic location. This particular website supposedly loads a video, however, only if the visitor clicks the "Allow" button. This is one of many 'clickbait' techniques that dubious web pages use to trick people into allowing them to show notifications.

If allowed, websites of this type start to display unwanted (and often deceptive) notifications, ads and other dubious content. We advise against allowing websites such as pushstack[.]co to show notifications. Furthermore, most PUAs collect data. For example, IP addresses, entered search queries, geolocations, URLs of visited websites, and other browsing-related information.

They sometimes record personal, sensitive data. Developers share the data with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. These actions (information tracking and sharing) can cause problems with online privacy, browsing safety, and so on.

Furthermore, people who use PUAs risk becoming victims of identity theft. PUAs also feed users with coupons, pop-up ads, surveys, banners, and other advertisements. When clicked, these open untrustworthy, malicious web pages or execute scripts designed to download and install unwanted software.

Therefore, we recommend that you uninstall all unknown, unwanted or suspicious apps from browsers and operating systems immediately.

There are many various potentially unwanted apps online. Most are advertised as useful, legitimate, etc, however, few operate as promised. In most cases, PUAs are designed only to help the developers to generate revenue and they provide no real value for regular users. PUAs are often the reason for the problems mentioned above and more.

How did adware install on my computer?

Typically, apps of this type are installed together with other software or through clicked intrusive advertisements. Unwanted downloads and installations through other programs happen when developers use the "bundling" method. They include PUAs in download/installation set-ups of software that people wish to download and install intentionally.

Developers hide offers to download/install PUAs in settings such as "Advanced", "Custom", etc. Therefore, the unwanted downloads and installations occur when people leave the settings unchecked and unchanged, or when they click deceptive ads that run scripts designed to download/install PUAs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Do not use unofficial websites, Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule and so on), third party downloaders, installers, or other such tools to download or install software. These sources are often used to distribute/promote potentially unwanted applications.

Download only from official websites and via direct download links. Additionally, "Custom", "Advanced" and other settings that are included in set-ups should be checked carefully. Dismiss any offers to download or install additionally-included apps. Do not trust intrusive ads that are displayed on unofficial, dubious, or other websites of this kind.

If clicked, they usually open dubious (potentially, malicious) websites or cause unwanted downloads, installations. To prevent your browser from displaying ads and/or opening dubious websites, ensure that there is no unwanted software installed on the browser or operating system.

Remove all unknown, unwanted or suspicious apps (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins) from the browser and unwanted programs from the computer. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
