How to stop redirects to and from essaemiaaut.com

essaemiaaut[.]com redirect removal instructions

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 dubious content and/or redirects visitors to other untrustworthy web pages. Most users enter these sites unintentionally when they are redirected by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already infiltrated into the system. These apps do not need explicit user permission to be installed onto devices. PUAs generate redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns, and record browsing-related information.

Once accessed, essaemiaaut[.]com first checks visitors' IP addresses to learn their geolocations. This is key in determining the site's further course of action. Depending on their geolocations, users are redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with highly dubious content. This web page also uses browser notifications, the consent option to which it hides beneath 'clickbait' ("Please click the ALLOW to stream"). If users are tricked into granting consent to these notifications, it 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 a risk to system health and user safety. When clicked, they redirect to sale-oriented, untrustworthy, compromised, deceptive/scam and malicious websites. Some 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 to be displayed on any site. hence, delivering ads that significantly diminish the browsing experience and carry the aforementioned risks, however, by far the most dangerous capability that PUAs possess is data tracking. By monitoring users' browsing activity (URLs visited, search queries typed, etc.), they collect personal information (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). This private data can then be shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) seeking to misuse it for profit. Therefore, PUAs can cause browser/system infiltration and infections, and lead to serious privacy issues, financial loss and identity theft. To protect device integrity and user safety, remove all dubious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs appear legitimate and entice users to install 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 useless to users. Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs cause redirects to untrustworthy and malicious sites, deliver intrusive ads and gather sensitive information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs often infiltrate systems is via the download/install setups of other programs. This deceptive marketing tactic of packing ordinary software with unwanted or malicious content is called "bundling". Rushing download and installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, using pre-set options, skipping steps and sections, etc.) increases the risk of potential infiltration and infections. Once clicked, intrusive advertisements can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' consent.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Research all content to verify its legitimacy, before downloading/installing. Use only official and verified download channels. Do not use P2P sharing networks (BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule, etc.), free file-hosting sites, third party downloaders, or similar sources - they are untrusted. Treat download/Installation processes with caution. Therefore, it is important to read the terms, study all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and decline downloading/installing additional apps, tools, functions and so on. Intrusive advertisements rarely seem suspicious, however, they redirect to dubious web pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating and others). If you encounter such ads/redirects, 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 Malwarebytes for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
