How to stop redirects to and from dabluehole.com

What is dabluehole[.]com?

dabluehole[.]com is a rogue site sharing many similarities with equiposeguridadindustrial.com, fumigacioncdmx.com, click-on-this.news and many others. This web page presents visitors with dubious content and redirects to other untrusted or possibly malicious websites.

Few users access these rogue pages intentionally - most are redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). These apps do not need explicit permission to be installed onto systems and, therefore, users may be unaware of their presence.

PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns and collect browsing-related data.

The behavior of dabluehole[.]com depends on visitors' geolocations. This website learns this information by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. To elaborate, whether visitors to dabluehole[.]com are presented with dubious material and/or are redirected elsewhere, is determined by their geolocations.

Additionally, this site attempts to lure users into enabling browser notifications by implying that this must be done to access the page, however, if the notifications are enabled, dabluehole[.]com is allowed to deliver intrusive ad campaigns. The delivered ads diminish the browsing experience and also pose a threat to device/user safety.

Once clicked, the intrusive advertisements can redirect to dangerous web pages and some can even stealthily download/install software (e.g. PUAs). These unwanted apps do not operate exclusively by force-opening dubious/malicious sites - they can also deliver intrusive ad campaigns.

Furthermore, most PUAs (regardless of their type or other capabilities) can track data. They can record browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather personal information extracted from it (IP addresses, geolocations and other details).

This vulnerable data is then shared with and/or sold to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals). To summarize, the presence of unwanted software on devices can lead to system infections, serious privacy issues, financial loss and even identity theft.

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

PUAs usual may seem legitimate and harmless. They often entice users into download/installation and purchase with offers of various "useful" functionality, however, the advertised functions are rarely operational. The only purpose of this unwanted software is to generate profit for the developers.

Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs can force-open untrusted and malicious web pages, run intrusive advertisement campaigns and collect private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

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

By rushing through download/installation of software (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using "Quick/Express" settings, etc.) many users risk unintentionally allowing bundled content into their devices. Intrusive advertisements proliferate PUAs as well.

When clicked, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without users' permission. Some PUAs have "official" download web pages from which they can be downloaded.

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.
