How to remove redirects to and from allwownewz.com

What is allwownewz[.]com?

allwownewz[.]com is a rogue website designed to present visitors with dubious content and/or redirect them to other bogus or possibly malicious web pages. Most users access allwownewz[.]com unintentionally - they are redirected to it by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs).

This software does not need explicit user permission to be installed onto systems. PUAs operate by causing redirects, running intrusive advertisement campaigns and collecting browsing-related data. Some examples of other sites similar to allwownewz[.]com include urgent-incoming.email, xrclicks.xyz, lastmedias.biz, and cachenews.biz.

The geolocation is crucial in determining the allwownewz[.]com site's course of action. It learns this information by checking visitors' IP addresses. Whether users are redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations.

Additionally, the website states that, to continue watching videos, visitors must enable its browser notifications. If these are enabled, allwownewz[.]com begins delivering intrusive ad campaigns. As well as diminishing the browsing experience, the delivered ads are also harmful.

Once clicked, intrusive advertisements can redirect to untrusted/malicious web pages and some can even stealthily download/install rogue software (e.g. PUAs). These unwanted applications can force-open dangerous websites and/or run intrusive advertisement campaigns. As mentioned, most PUAs (regardless of other capabilities) can track data.

They monitor browsing activity (visited URLs, viewed pages, searched queries, etc.) and gather personal information extracted from it (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). This sensitive data is then shared with and/or sold to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals), likewise intent on misusing it for financial gain.

In summary, the presence of unwanted software can result in system infections, serious privacy issues, financial loss and even identity theft. To protect device and user safety, you are strongly advised to eliminate all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

PUAs often seem legitimate and innocuous. They offer a broad range of "useful" functionality, however, the features rarely work as advertised and, in most cases, do not work at all. The sole purpose of these unwanted apps is to generate revenue for the developers.

Regular users receive no real value and can instead experience serious problems. PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns and collect vulnerable information.

How did adware install on my computer?

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

By rushing through download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, using "Easy/Express" settings, etc.), many users risk unintentionally allowing bundled content into their devices. Intrusive ads proliferate PUAs as well.

When clicked, they can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' consent. Some PUAs also have "official" promotional pages from which they can be downloaded.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

All products should be researched before download/installation and/or purchase. You are advised to only use official and trustworthy download channels, since dubious sources including unofficial and free file-hosting sites, 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, etc. Intrusive ads may seem legitimate, however, they can redirect to highly dubious websites (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and so on).

If you encounter ads or redirects of this kind, inspect your devices 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.
