How to remove redirects to and from tirsmile.pro

What is tirsmile[.]pro?

Sharing similarities with wwserch42.biz, insertcoinage.com, dolohen.com and countless others, tirsmile[.]pro is a rogue web page. Visitors to it are presented with dubious content and/or are redirected to other dubious, malicious sites.

Few users enter tirsmile[.]pro intentionally - they are redirected by intrusive ads or PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications) already present on the device. These apps do not need express permission to be installed onto systems. PUAs operate by generating redirects, running intrusive advertisement campaigns, hijacking browsers and tracking browsing-related information.

The geolocation is crucial in determining the tirsmile[.]pro course of action. It learns this information by checking visitors' IP addresses. According to their geolocations, users are redirected elsewhere or presented with dubious material.

Furthermore, this rogue website employs browser notifications, the consent option to which is disguised within 'clickbait' ("Press 'Allow' to watch the video"). If visitors are tricked by this deceptive tactic and allow the notifications, tirsmile[.]pro delivers intrusive ads.

These ads are a safety risk due to the untrustworthy/malicious pages to which they redirect and for their capability to execute scripts designed to download/install PUAs without users' permission. As mentioned, PUAs cause redirects to likewise dangerous web pages and can run intrusive advertisement campaigns.

Other PUAs can make unauthorized changes to browsers (and reset user changes made to them or limit/deny access to the settings) to promote fake search engines.

Most PUAs (regardless of specific capabilities) can track data. They record users' browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, etc.) and gather their personal information (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). This vulnerable data can then be shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) seeking to misuse it for profit.

In summary, PUAs can cause various browser and system infiltration and infections, and lead to financial loss, serious privacy issues and even identity theft. To ensure device and user safety, remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs often seem legitimate and entice users into downloading/installing them with offers of "useful" functions. These features rarely work as advertised and, in most cases, are nonoperational. Unwanted apps are not designed for user convenience - their sole purpose is to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs force-open untrustworthy/malicious sites, hijack browsers and promote bogus search engines, deliver intrusive ads and collect sensitive data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are commonly downloaded/installed together with other software. This deceptive marketing method of pre-packing regular programs with unwanted or malicious content is called "bundling". Rushing download and installation processes (e.g. skipping steps and sections, using presets, etc.) endangers devices with potential system infiltration and infections.

Some unwanted applications have "official" promotional web pages on which they are often endorsed as "free" and "useful". Once clicked, intrusive advertisements can execute scripts to stealthily download/install PUAs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Research all content to verify its legitimacy, prior to being downloaded/installed. Use only official and verified download channels. Sources such as unofficial and free file-hosting websites, P2P sharing networks (BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule, etc.) and other third party downloaders are untrustworthy and should be avoided.

When downloading/installing, read the terms, study all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of additional apps, tools, features and so on. Intrusive ads typically seem normal and innocuous, however, when clicked they redirect to dubious pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).

If you encounter these ads/redirects, check the system 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 Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
