How to avoid being redirected to robotornotcheckonline.club

What is robotornotcheckonline[.]club?

robotornotcheckonline[.]club is similar to many other rogue websites including, for example, pushstack[.]co, readmenewz[.]com, and rednews7[.]com. Visitors to these sites are all provided with dubious content or redirected to other untrustworthy websites.

Generally, they do not visit websites such as robotornotcheckonline[.]club intentionally - browsers open them due to installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). These apps are designed to gather information about people and feed them with intrusive ads.

PUAs generally open dubious web pages such as robotornotcheckonline[.]club in a new browser window or tab. When visited, they redirect visitors to a number (2-3) of other dubious, potentially malicious sites, or display dubious content. The actions of websites such as robotornotcheckonline[.]club depend on the visitor's geolocation.

This particular website encourages users to click the "Allow" button to confirm that the visitor is not a robot. In fact, this is a 'clickbait' technique used to trick people into allowing this site to show notifications. When allowed, websites of this type start to display unwanted content (such as ads) that might be designed to trick people into downloading/installing unwanted software.

As mentioned, PUAs often display ads including coupons, banners, surveys, pop-up ads, and so on. It is not safe to click these, since they open untrustworthy websites or download/install unwanted, potentially malicious applications by running certain scripts.

Additionally, many PUAs collect details relating to users' browsing habits. For example, IP addresses, geolocations, addresses of opened pages, entered search queries, etc. Developers send the information to third parties who misuse it to generate revenue.

Some of these third parties might be cyber criminals. It is not safe to have any PUAs installed - they might be the reason behind unwanted downloads/installations, problems with privacy, and browsing safety. Furthermore, data collected by PUAs can be misused to steal users' identities.

Most PUAs are advertised as legitimate, useful applications. Their developers offer supposedly useful features, however, they deliver no real value and are designed only to generate revenue for the developers. People who use them risk experiencing a number of problems.

How did adware install on my computer?

People often download and install PUAs unintentionally. In most cases, they are tricked when they download and/or install free software and unwanted apps are included in the download or installation set-ups as "additional offers". This distribution method of PUAs is known as "bundling".

Typically, information about the inclusion of unwanted apps is hidden in settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", and so on. Furthermore, many people fail to check them and leave them unchanged. In this way, they allow PUAs to be downloaded and/or installed together with other, regular software.

Additionally, unwanted downloads/installations can be caused through intrusive, deceptive ads. If clicked, these execute scripts that download or install various unwanted programs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Software should be downloaded from official websites. Do not trust other sources such as third party downloaders, unofficial websites, Peer-to-Peer networks (eMule, torrent clients), etc. The same applies to installation through third party installers, since they are often monetized when used as tools to distribute unwanted apps.

Check all "Custom", "Advanced" and other settings that are included in download or installation set-ups. If they contain offers to download or install unwanted software, dismiss them before completing the download or installation process.

Do not click advertisements that are displayed on dubious websites, since they can lead to potentially malicious websites or cause unwanted downloads/installations.

Remove/uninstall all unwanted, unknown or suspicious extensions, add-ons or plug-ins that are installed on the browser and programs 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.
