How to stop browsers from opening asonsbirthi.pro

What is asonsbirthi[.]pro?

asonsbirthi[.]pro is the address of a website that contains dubious content. It also redirects visitors to other untrustworthy websites. Note that asonsbirthi[.]pro functions like many other web pages of this kind including, for example, pushstack[.]co, readmenewz[.]com, and shireamentsp[.]info.

Most people end up visiting these websites unintentionally, since they are redirected to them by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on their browsers or operating systems. Additionally, these apps are usually designed to display various ads and collect details relating to users' browsing habits.

Once opened, websites such as asonsbirthi[.]pro open about two or three other rogue websites or display dubious content. This behaviour depends on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In any case, sites such as asonsbirthi[.]pro, and other pages opened through them, cannot be trusted.

Furthermore, asonsbirthi[.]pro attempts to trick visitors into giving permission to show notifications using the 'clickbait' technique: it states that if the visitor wants to download a file, browser notifications must be enabled by clicking the "Allow" button.

When websites such as asonsbirthi[.]pro are able to show notifications, they start to deliver notifications that contain ads and other content, which should not be trusted. The aforementioned PUAs display banners, pop-ups, coupons, surveys, and other intrusive ads.

Typically, people who click them are redirected to untrustworthy websites, or they allow these ads to run scripts that download or install unwanted, potentially malicious software.

Most PUAs also operate as information tracking tools - they gather information such as users' IP addresses, geolocations, addresses of visited pages, entered search queries, etc. Some PUAs record sensitive data. The developers send the information to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals). Both parties misuse the data to generate revenue.

Thus, users who have PUAs installed on their browsers and/or computers might become victims of identity theft or experience other problems relating to privacy, browsing safety, and so on. We recommend that you uninstall all PUAs immediately.

Generally, PUAs are advertised as useful, legitimate applications that supposedly deliver various features. Unfortunately, most apps of this type do not function as advertised and are useless. They simply perform tasks that help the developers to generate revenue. They force users to visit dubious web pages, display ads, and gather various information.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most people download and install PUAs unintentionally through intrusive ads or together with other (usually free) software. Unwanted downloads and/or installations through other software happen when developers use a deceptive marketing method called "bundling".

They include PUAs into the set-ups of regular programs, however, they hide information about additionally-included apps in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings of the download/installation set-ups. When people leave these settings unchanged, they agree by default to offers to download/install software that is distributed through a specific setup.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Download software from official websites and avoid using third party software downloaders/installers, tools such as Peer-to-Peer networks (eMule, torrent clients), unofficial websites, and so on.

Download and install software properly. If a setup contains settings such as "Advanced", "Custom", etc., check them carefully and decline offers to download and/or install additional software. If clicked, many intrusive ads redirect people to untrustworthy websites or start unwanted download, installation processes.

The ads are often displayed on pages relating to gambling, adult dating, pornography, and other dubious sites. Check for unwanted, unknown extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons installed on the browser and uninstall them immediately. Also remove software of this kind installed from 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.

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.
