How to stop redirects to and from broindifferd.club

What is the broindifferd[.]club site?

broindifferd[.]club is a rogue website designed to present visitors with dubious content and/or redirect them to other untrusted or possibly malicious web pages. The site shares many similarities with check-you-robot.site, onlybestpushnews.com, c-emoney.com, mop-news2.club and countless others.

Users rarely access broindifferd[.]club or similar web pages intentionally - most are redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs).

These apps do not need explicit user consent to be installed onto systems. Following successful infiltration, PUAs cause redirects, deliver intrusive ad campaigns and collect data relating to browsing activity.

Once accessed, broindifferd[.]club checks visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, thereby learning their geolocations. This information is key to determining the site's further course of action. I.e., whether users are redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, broindifferd[.]club uses deceptive tactics to trick visitors into consenting to browser notifications: "Please tap the Allow button to continue". If the notifications are enabled, the rogue website starts running intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered ads are more than just a nuisance, they are also classified as a threat to device/user safety.

Once clicked, these ads redirect to untrusted/rogue, sale-oriented, compromised, deceptive/scam and malicious websites. Some intrusive advertisements can even stealthily download/install rogue software (e.g. PUAs) when they are clicked.

These unwanted applications can force-open similarly dangerous web pages and/or run intrusive ad campaigns (i.e. deliver pop-ups, banners, coupons, surveys, etc.). Furthermore, most PUAs have data tracking capabilities.

They can monitor browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather sensitive information extracted from it (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). The gathered data typically contains personally identifiable information.

PUA developers often monetize this information by sharing it with and/or selling it to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals). Therefore, the presence of unwanted apps on devices can cause system infections but also lead to serious privacy issues, financial loss and even identity theft.

To ensure device integrity and user safety, you are strongly advised to eliminate all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs seldom often seem legitimate and useful. They offer a wide variety of functionality, however, the features are merely bait to trick users into download/installation. The promised functionality is usually nonoperational. The only purpose of PUAs is to generate revenue for the developers. They force-open harmful sites, deliver intrusive ad campaigns and gather private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are often downloaded/installed with other programs. This deceptive marketing method of pre-packing normal software with unwanted or malicious additions is termed "bundling".

By rushing through download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, etc.), many users increase the risk of inadvertently allowing dubious and/or bundled content into their devices. Some PUAs have "official" download web pages. Once clicked, intrusive advertisements can download/install PUAs without users' permission.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Software should be researched before download/installation and/or purchase. All downloads must be done from official and verified sources. Unofficial and free file-hosting websites, P2P sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.) and other third party downloaders - are untrusted, since they can offer deceptive and/or bundled content.

When downloading/installing, you are advised to read the terms, study all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of supplementary apps, tools, features and other additions. It is also important to exercise caution when browsing.

Intrusive ads may seem legitimate and harmless, however, they can redirect to dubious pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.). If you encounter ads/redirects of this kind, inspect the system and remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

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.
