How to stop redirects to and from pushlat.com

What is pushlat[.]com?

pushlat[.]com is a rogue website sharing similarities with mediatop.me, alldaystream.club, 0sntp7dnrr.com and countless others. It operates by presenting visitors with dubious and/or deceptive content, and also redirects them to other untrusted and malicious sites.

Few users access pushlat[.]com and other, similar sites intentionally. Most people are redirected to them by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) infiltrated into systems. These apps do not need express user consent to be installed onto devices. PUAs cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns and track browsing-related information.

When accessed, pushlat[.]com first checks visitors' IP addresses to learn their geolocations, which then determines its further course of action. Depending on their geolocations, users are redirected elsewhere and/or presented with dubious material. Regardless of the behavior of pushlat[.]com, visitors to it are bound to encounter malicious content.

Furthermore, this site uses browser notifications, the consent option to which is disguised within 'clickbait' ("Please press the 'Allow' button to continue"). If notifications are enabled, pushlat[.]com begins running intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered pop-ups, banners, surveys, coupons and others significantly diminish the browsing experience.

They limit browsing speed and overlay web pages, however, they are also classed as a threat to device/user safety. Once clicked, they can redirect to sale-based, untrusted/rogue, compromised, deceptive/scam and malicious pages. Furthermore, intrusive ads can even execute scripts to download/install rogue software (e.g. PUAs) without users' permission.

These unwanted applications force-open likewise hazardous sites and can deliver intrusive ad campaigns. PUAs commonly have data tracking capabilities. They can monitor users' browsing habits (URLs visited, search queries typed, etc.) and collect personal information (IP addresses, geolocations and personally identifiable details).

This vulnerable data is shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) intent on misusing it for financial gain. Therefore, PUAs can cause various infiltration and infections, lead to serious privacy issues, financial loss and even identity theft. To ensure device integrity and user safety, remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs often seem legitimate and tempt users into downloading/installing with offers of various functions. Despite how good these may features sound, they usually do not work - rendering these apps useless. The only purpose of these unwanted applications is to generate profit for the developers at users' expense.

Therefore, rather than delivering any real value, PUAs force-open untrusted and malicious pages, run intrusive advertisement campaigns and gather sensitive data.

How did adware install on my computer?

Some PUAs have "official" promotional sites, from which they can be downloaded, however, they also proliferate through the download/installation set-ups of other programs. This deceptive marketing tactic of pre-packing regular products with unwanted or malicious software is called "bundling".

By rushing download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using pre-set options, etc.), many users risk inadvertently allowing bundled content onto their devices. Once clicked, intrusive ads can execute scripts designed to stealthily download/install PUAs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are advised to research all products before downloading/installing them. Use only official and verified download channels. Untrustworthy sources (free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks [BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.]) and other third party downloaders can offer bundled content.

When downloading/installing, read the terms, explore all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of supplementary apps, tools, features and so on. Intrusive advertisements typically seem normal and harmless, however, they generate redirects to highly dubious web pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).

If you encounter these ads/redirects, inspect the system and immediately remove all suspicious applications and 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.
