Damage level: Medium

What is bestflowingstuff[.]co?

Typically, people do not open or visit bestflowingstuff[.]co intentionally. In most cases, websites like this are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on browsers. These apps are often designed to display ads and record browsing data. They are classed as PUAs, since people generally download and install them unintentionally.

When opened, bestflowingstuff[.]co loads dubious content or redirects visitors to a number of other untrustworthy web pages. More examples of websites that have similar operation to bestflowingstuff[.]co include aleailarm[.]com, becausenightisbetter[.]com, and siveamongsiv[.]info.

bestflowingstuff[.]co pop-up redirects

Generally, installed PUAs open bestflowingstuff[.]co or other sites of this type in new browser windows or tabs. Once opened, the site loads dubious content or opens more (two or three) untrustworthy pages. The way it operates depends on the visitor's geolocation.

Typically, websites such as bestflowingstuff[.]co open dubious or even potentially malicious web pages. Most demand permission to show notifications.

According to bestflowingstuff[.]co, clicking the "Allow" button will allow visitors to continue browsing this web page, however, this is merely a 'clickbait' technique that most sites of this type use to trick people into allowing them to show ads and other unwanted content.

PUAs force browsers to open untrustworthy websites, display ads, and collect browsing data. They display annoying, intrusive ads that, if clicked, lead to potentially malicious pages or run scripts that cause download/installation of unwanted, possibly malicious software.

These ads can sometimes execute certain scripts that cause download/installation of other unwanted applications.

PUAs can lead to unwanted downloads/installations, force browsers to open dubious pages, gather browsing data, etc. People who use them risk becoming victims of identity theft, and might experience problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, and so on. PUAs help developers (and other third parties) to generate revenue and are useless for regular users.

How did adware install on my computer?

Adware is installed when people click intrusive, deceptive ads that should not be trusted, or they perform download/installation of software without dismissing offers to download/install additional, unwanted apps. Typically, people are tricked into downloading and installing unwanted apps when developers use the "bundling" method.

I.e., they include unwanted apps into the download/installation set-ups and hide related information in settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", etc. When people download and install software without checking and changing these settings, they often allow unwanted apps to also be downloaded and installed.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Avoid downloading or installing software from dubious (unofficial) websites, using third party downloaders, installers, torrent clients, eMule (and other Peer-to-Peer networks), and other such tool/channels. The best way to download is using official websites and direct links.

Note that download/installation set-ups often contain settings such as "Advanced", "Custom", and "Manual", which include offers to download or install various software. To avoid additional, unwanted downloads/installations, deselect these offers before finishing the process.

Intrusive ads often redirect people to untrustworthy websites or cause download/installation of PUAs. Check for any unwanted extensions, add-ons, or plug-ins installed on the browser, or programs of this kind on the operating system, and uninstall/remove them 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

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.
