How to stop redirects to and from getfile765.site

What is the getfile765[.]site website?

getfile765[.]site is a rogue web page sharing many similarities with thefaceduck.com, backtonews.biz, visingikol.club and countless others. Visitors to this site are presented with dubious content and/or are redirected to other dubious/malicious websites.

Few users enter getfile765[.]site intentionally - most are redirected to it by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already infiltrated into the system. These apps do not need explicit permission to be installed onto devices. PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns and collect browsing-related information.

Users' geolocations are key in determining the getfile765[.]site course of action. It learns this information by checking visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Therefore, whether users are redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, getfile765[.]site uses deceptive methods to trick visitors into enabling browser notifications ("Press Allow to confirm/I am not a robot/Click on Allow to confirm that you are not a robot"). If the notifications are enabled, the site starts delivering intrusive ad campaigns.

As well as being an annoyance, these advertisements are also a threat to device/user safety - when intrusive ads are clicked, they can redirect to untrusted and malicious web pages, and some can even stealthily download/install rogue software (e.g. PUAs).

These unwanted applications can have varied capabilities in different combinations. PUAs can force-open dangerous sites and/or deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns. Furthermore, most PUAs can track data.

They can record browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather sensitive information derived from it (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). The collected data is likely to contain personally identifiable information.

PUA developers monetize this data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals), intent on likewise misusing the information for profit. In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices can lead to system infections, financial loss, serious privacy issues and even identity theft.

To protect device integrity and user safety, all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be removed without delay.

PUAs typically seem legitimate and innocuous, and users are often enticed into download/installation with offers of "useful" functionality, however, the features promised are seldom operational. The only purpose of this unwanted software is to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs can force-open dubious and malicious web pages, run intrusive ad campaigns and collect private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are often downloaded/installed together with other programs. This deceptive marketing technique of packing normal software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling".

Rushing download/installation set-ups (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using pre-set options, etc.) increases the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled content into the system. Some PUAs have "official" promotional sites, from which they can be downloaded.

Intrusive ads proliferate these applications as well. When clicked, they can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' consent.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

All software products should be researched before download/installation. You are advised to use official and verified download channels. Untrusted sources such as unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks and other third party downloaders commonly offer deceptive and bundled content.

When downloading/installing, read the terms, explore all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of additional apps, tools, features, and so on. It is also important to exercise caution when browsing. Intrusive ads may seem legitimate, however, they can redirect to dubious web pages (e.g. gambling, adult-dating, pornography, etc.).

If you encounter advertisements or redirects of this type, inspect the system and remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins - immediately. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
