How to stop redirects to and from pushishere.com

Also Known As: pushishere.com pop-up
Damage level: Medium

What is pushishere[.]com?

pushishere[.]com is a rogue website sharing similarities with maroceffects.combasenews7.comtopflownews.comredfunchicken.com and thousands of others. This site presents visitors with dubious content and/or redirects them to other untrusted or malicious web pages.

Few users access these untrusted websites intentionally - most are redirected to them by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). Note that these apps do not need express permission to be installed onto systems. PUAs operate by causing redirects, delivering intrusive ad campaigns and track browsing-related data.

pushishere[.]com pop-up redirects

Once accessed, pushishere[.]com first checks visitors' IP addresses to learn their geolocations. This information determines the web page's behavior. I.e., whether people are redirected elsewhere or presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, this site uses browser notifications, the consent option to which is disguised within 'clickbait' ("I am not a robot / Click Allow to confirm you are not a robot / Press allow to verify"). If the notifications are enabled, pushishere[.]com starts running intrusive advertisement campaigns.

The delivered ads diminish the browsing experience by limiting browsing speed and overlaying web page content. Furthermore, when clicked, intrusive ads redirect to various untrusted/rogue, sale-oriented, compromised, deceptive, scam and malicious websites.

Some can even execute scripts designed to stealthily download/install rogue software (when clicked). PUAs are an example of content infiltrated into systems in this manner. These unwanted applications can also deliver intrusive advertisements (e.g. pop-ups, surveys, banners, coupons, etc.) and force-open similarly dangerous web pages.

As mentioned, most PUAs are able to track data. They can monitor browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collect users' personal information (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). This vulnerable data is often shared with third parties intent on misusing it for profit - potentially, by putting it to criminal use.

To summarize, the presence of PUAs on systems can lead to various system infiltration and infections, 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 may seem legitimate and harmless. People are often enticed into download/installation with offers of "useful" features, however, the functions promised typically do not work - or even if they do, it not as advertised. The only purpose of these apps is to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs force-open untrusted and malicious sites, run intrusive ad campaigns and gather private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs proliferate via the download/installation set-ups of other software. This deceptive marketing method of pre-packing regular programs with unwanted or malicious additions. Rushing download/installation processes (e.g. using pre-set options, skipping steps and sections, etc.) increases the risk of inadvertent installation of bundled content.

Some PUAs have "official" promotional pages from which they can be downloaded. Intrusive ads also spread these applications. Once clicked, they can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' permission.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

All products should be researched before download/installation or purchase. You are advised to use only official and verified download channels. Unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule, etc.) and other third party downloaders are untrusted and can offer deceptive/bundled content.

When downloading and installing, read the terms, study all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of additional apps, tools, functions and so on. Intrusive advertisements may seem normal and innocuous, however, they can redirect to highly dubious web pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating and others).

If you encounter ads/redirects of this kind, check the system and immediately eliminate all suspect 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.

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.
