What is essaemiaaut[.]com?
Similar to newsredirect.net, giantttraffic.com, ewaglongoo.com and thousands of others, essaemiaaut[.]com is a rogue website. It operates by presenting visitors with unreliable content and/or redirects them to other untrustworthy pages. Most users enter such sites unintentionally, they get redirected by intrusive adverts or by PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications), already infiltrated into the system. It must be emphasized that these apps do not need explicit user permission to be installed onto their devices. PUAs are designed to generate redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns and record browsing-related information.
Once accessed, the first thing essaemiaaut[.]com does is check visitors' IP addresses in order to learn their geolocations. The latter is key to determining the site's further course of action. Depending on their geolocation, users either get redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with highly questionable content. This webpage also uses browser notifications, the consent option to which it hides beneath clickbait ("Please click on the ALLOW to stream"). If tricked into consenting to these notifications, this allows essaemiaaut[.]com to begin running intrusive ad campaigns. Advertisements of this kind (e.g. pop-ups, banners, coupons, surveys, etc.) are more than a nuisance, they are also deemed to be a risk to system health and user safety. When clicked, they redirect to sale-oriented, untrustworthy, compromised, deceptive/scam and malicious websites. Some of these ads can be triggered to execute scripts, designed to stealthily download/install PUAs. As mentioned, unwanted applications force-open similarly harmful pages and can run intrusive ad campaigns. They implement various tools to enable third party graphical content; hence, delivering adverts that seriously diminish browsing quality and carry the aforementioned risks. However, by far the most heinous ability that PUAs posses is data tracking. By monitoring users' browsing activity (URLs visited, search queries typed, etc.) they collect personal information (IP addresses, geolocations and personal details). This private data can then be shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals), seeking to misuse it for profit. Therefore, PUAs can not only cause a variety of browser/system infiltrations and infections, but lead to severe privacy issues, financial losses and identity theft as well. To protect device integrity and user safety, it is recommended to remove all dubious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs appear legitimate and entice users into installation with offers of "useful" and "beneficial" functions. However, the only purpose of these apps is to generate revenue for their developers. Therefore, the advertised features are usually nonoperational, which makes unwanted applications worthless to users. Instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs cause redirects to untrustworthy and malicious sites, deliver intrusive ads and gather sensitive information.
How did adware install on my computer?
The most common way that PUAs infiltrate systems is via download/install setups of other programs. This deceptive marketing tactic of packing ordinary software with unwanted or malicious content is called "bundling". Rushed download and installation processes (e.g. ignored terms, used pre-set options, skipped steps and sections, etc.) - increase the risk of potential infiltrations and infections. Once clicked on, intrusive advertisements can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without user consent.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Users should research content to verify its legitimacy, before downloading/installing it. It is recommended to only use official and verified download channels. It is ill-advised to use P2P sharing networks (BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule, etc.), free file-hosting sites, third party downloaders and similar sources - as they are deemed to be untrustworthy. Download/Installation processes should be treated with caution. Therefore, it is important to read terms, study all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and decline downloading/installing additional apps, tools, functions and so on. Intrusive advertisements rarely look suspicious themselves, however they redirect to questionable webpages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating and others). In case of encounters with such adverts/redirects, it is strongly advised to inspect the device and remove all suspect applications and/or browser extensions/plug-ins without delay. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Spyhunter for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
