How to remove redirects to and from toobotnews.biz

What is toobotnews[.]biz?

Sharing similarities with glagolinius.com, mayfootekvideo.com, secretvideos2020.com and many others, toobotnews[.]biz is a rogue web page. It operates by generating redirects to untrustworthy/malicious sites and presenting visitors with dubious content.

Few users enter this site intentionally - most are redirected by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already installed onto the device. These apps do not need express user permission to infiltrate systems. PUAs cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisements and track browsing-related data.

Once opened, toobotnews[.]biz checks the visitors' IP addresses to learn their geolocations, which it derives from IP addresses. Depending on their geolocations, users are redirected elsewhere and/or presented with dubious material. Visitors to toobotnews[.]biz are likely to encounter harmful content.

Furthermore, this website uses browser notifications, the consent option to which is disguised with visual 'clickbait'. It is implied that, to watch the displayed video, visitors must consent to notifications. If they are enabled, toobotnews[.]biz begins running intrusive ad campaigns.

The resultant advertisements are a threat to device health and user safety, due to the web pages to which they redirect and for their capability to stealthily download/install PUAs. I.e., when an intrusive ad is clicked, it can redirect users to various untrustworthy and malicious web pages.

Some of these ads can execute scripts designed to download/install unwanted applications without users' permission. As mentioned, PUAs generate redirects to likewise dangerous sites and can deliver intrusive advertisements.

As well as the aforementioned capabilities (and associated risks), these ads significantly diminish the browsing experience by limiting browsing speed and overlaying web pages. PUAs commonly track data. They record browsing activity (browsing and search engine histories) and gather users' personal information (IP addresses, geolocations and other details).

This private data can then be shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) intent on misusing it for profit. To summarize, PUAs can cause various browser/system infiltration and infections and lead to serious privacy issues, financial loss and even identity theft.

To ensure device and user safety, remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

PUAs often seem legitimate and tempt users into downloading/installing them with offers of "useful" and "beneficial" functions. The advertised features rarely work as promised and, in most cases, do not work at all. The only purpose of unwanted apps is to generate revenue for the developers.

These applications are not designed for user convenience and have no genuine value to them. Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs run intrusive ad campaigns (pop-ups, banners, surveys, coupons, etc.), cause redirects and track sensitive data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs. This deceptive marketing method of packing regular software together unwanted or malicious content is called "bundling". Rushing download and installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, using pre-set options, skipping steps, etc.) increases the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled applications onto systems.

Some of these apps have "official" download web pages. Intrusive advertisements also proliferate PUAs. Once clicked, they can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' permission.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Research all content, prior to downloading/installing. Use only official and verified download channels. Avoid P2P sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), free file-hosting websites, third party downloaders and similar sources, as they are untrusted. Treat download/Installation processes with caution.

Read the terms, explore all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of downloading/installing supplementary apps, tools, features and so on. Intrusive advertisements usually seem legitimate and innocuous, however, they can redirect to dubious web pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).

If you encounter these ads/redirects, inspect the device and immediately remove all suspect applications and/or browser extensions/plug-ins. 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?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

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.
