Remove redirects to and from histleolderlandch.info

What is histleolderlandch[.]info?

histleolderlandch[.]info is a rogue website that shares many similarities with best-girls-ever.com, terko.pro, ultimate-captcha.com and countless others. Visitors to it are presented with dubious content and/or redirected to other, untrustworthy or malicious web pages.

Typically, users arrive at histleolderlandch[.]info unintentionally - they are redirected to it by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already infiltrated into the system. PUAs generate redirects, deliver intrusive ads and monitor users' browsing habits.

Visitors' geolocations determine the behavior of histleolderlandch[.]info. It learns this information by checking users' IP addresses. Depending on their geolocations, visitors are redirected elsewhere or presented with dubious material.

Furthermore, this site uses browser notifications, the consent option to which is hidden within 'clickbait' ("Click Allow to prove you are not a robot"). If consent is granted, histleolderlandch[.]info is then enabled to run intrusive advertisement campaigns.

The delivered ads significantly diminish the browsing experience, as they limit browsing speed and website visibility (by overlaying web page content), however, they are more than a nuisance - these ads are also a threat to device/user safety. Clicking them causes redirects to untrustworthy and malicious web pages.

Some can execute scripts to stealthily download/install PUAs. As mentioned, these unwanted applications force-open similarly hazardous sites and can run intrusive ad campaigns. Most PUAs are capable of tracking data.

They can monitor browsing activity (URLs visited, search queries typed, etc.) and gather users' personal information (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). This vulnerable data can then be shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) intent on misusing it for financial gain.

To summarize, PUAs can lead to browser and system infiltration/infections, serious privacy issues, financial loss and even identity theft. To protect device integrity and ensure user safety, remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

PUAs usually seem legitimate and tempt users into downloading/installing them with offers of "useful" and "beneficial" functions. These features rarely work as promised and, in most cases, are nonoperational. The primary purpose of PUAs is to generate profit for the developers.

They have no real value for regular users and, instead, cause a number of issues. Rather than operating as advertised, PUAs force-open untrustworthy/malicious web pages, run intrusive ad campaigns and collect private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

Mostly, PUAs proliferate via the download/install set-ups of other programs. This deceptive marketing method of pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious content is called "bundling".

Rushing download and installation processes (e.g. using pre-set options, skipping steps and sections, etc.) increases the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled applications onto systems. Certain PUAs have "official" promotional sites, from which they can often be downloaded "free".

Intrusive ads also proliferate these apps. When clicked, they can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' permission.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Research all content to verify its legitimacy, prior to downloading/installing. Use only official and verified download channels. Avoid Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), free file-hosting websites and other third party downloaders, as they are classed as untrustworthy.

Treat download and installation processes with caution. Read the terms, study all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and decline offers to download/install additional apps, tools, functions and so on.

Intrusive advertisements tend to seem normal and harmless, however, they can redirect to highly dubious web pages (e.g. pornography, adult-dating, gambling and others). If you experience ads/redirects of this type, inspect the device and immediately remove all dubious 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.

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.
