How to stop web browsers from opening bo3news.biz

What is bo3news[.]biz?

bo3news[.]biz redirects visitors to a variety or untrustworthy, potentially malicious websites. Browsers are often forced to open sites such as bo3news[.]biz by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on browsers or operating systems. In any case, people do not open them intentionally. PUAs also gather browsing data and display unwanted advertisements.

At the time of research, bo3news[.]biz opened ewaglongoo[.]com, an adult website and a deceptive web page that attempts to trick visitors into installing unwanted, potentially malicious software through a fake Adobe Flash Player installer. Note that ewaglongoo[.]com opens other rogue pages or loads dubious content.

In any case, it is an untrustworthy and can lead unsuspecting visitors to unwanted downloads and installations. This web page also asks permission to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique: it suggests that visitors are able to continue browsing if they prove that they are not robots by clicking the "Allow" button.

If clicked, however, the button allows ewaglongoo[.]com and other similar web pages to display unwanted notifications with deceptive ads, links to dubious pages, and other unwanted content. Do not trust the adult website that is opened through bo3news[.]biz - it might be designed to trick visitors into providing sensitive information or even paying for dubious services.

Note that bo3news[.]biz opens a deceptive website suggesting that the installed version of Adobe Flash Player might be out of date. Typically, files that can be downloaded through these websites do not install or update Adobe Flash Player - they simply install PUAs including browser hijackers, adware or even malicious programs such as Trojans, ransomware, etc.

Being tricked into installing this software can cause problems relating to privacy, browsing safety, or installation of malware, financial, data loss, identity theft and other serious issues. Therefore, you are strongly advised to avoid bo3news[.]biz and any websites opened through it.

How did adware install on my computer?

Unwanted apps (such as browser hijackers, adware, and other PUAs) are commonly downloaded/installed when people click intrusive advertisements. These ads download and install PUAs. They are also downloaded and installed together with other (usually free) software.

PUAs are often included into the download/installation set-ups of regular programs and presented as additional offers. This distribution method is called "bundling". Developers use it to trick people into downloading/installing unwanted apps with other software that people wish to download/install intentionally.

Typically, offers to download/install additional apps are hidden in "Custom", "Advanced" and other settings of set-ups. People who fail to check and change these settings often inadvertently allow PUAs to be downloaded and/or installed.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Do not download or install software from unofficial websites, via third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule) or other sources, tools of this kind. All programs and files should be downloaded only from official websites and via direct links.

Check all download?installation set-ups, especially if they contain settings such as "Custom"," Advanced", etc. Dismiss any offers to download or install unwanted programs. Advertisements that are displayed on dubious pages (e.g., those relating to gambling, adult dating, or pornography) should not be clicked.

They often lead to other potentially malicious pages or cause download/installation of unwanted applications. Remove any unwanted, suspicious extensions, add-ons and plug-ins installed on the browser immediately. The same should applied to software of this kind installed the operating system.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
