How to stop redirects to blackfr1dayz.com

Also Known As: Ads by blackfr1dayz.com
Damage level: Medium

What is blackfr1dayz[.]com?

Typically, websites such as blackfr1dayz[.]com promote various untrusted websites and attempt to trick visitors into allowing them to show notifications.

Note that users do not often visit these pages intentionally - they are opened when they click dubious ads or visit other untrusted pages. Browsers also open bogus web pages by when potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) are installed on them.

There are many web pages similar to blackfr1dayz[.]com on the internet. Some examples are goldeneraaudio[.]org, load28[.]biz and goodmode[.]biz.

blackfr1dayz[.]com pop-up redirects

blackfr1dayz[.]com loads dubious content or opens two, three, or even more dubious pages, which can be used to promote adware, browser hijackers, and even malicious software. The actions of blackfr1dayz[.]com once visited depends on the geolocation of its visitors.

As mentioned, blackfr1dayz[.]com attempts to trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" button and thereby allowing it to show notifications - blackfr1dayz[.]com states that visitors must click the "Allow" button to watch a video. This is just one of the several popular 'clickbait' techniques used by blackfr1dayz[.]com and similar sites to trick people into allowing them to display unwanted ads, promote dubious web pages, and show notifications containing other dubious content. Do not allow any dubious website to show notifications, since this can lead to unwanted downloads and installations, a diminished browsing experience, etc.

PUAs installed on web browsers can also gather browsing-related information. For example, addresses visited websites, entered search queries, geolocations, IP addresses, and even personal sensitive details. The information could be sold to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) for marketing purposes or monetized (misused) in other ways. Therefore, users are at risk of becoming victims of identity theft, having problems with web browsing safety, online privacy, and experiencing other serious issues.

PUAs generate revenue for the developers by displaying various advertisements. These ads tend to open dubious websites, and sometimes they can cause unwanted downloads and installations by running certain scripts. Typically, PUAs display coupons, banners, pop-ups, surveys, and other ads.

Do not trust blackfr1dayz[.]com (or pages that it promotes) or allow it to show notifications. If a browser opens unwanted websites automatically, it is likely that it is infected with a potentially unwanted application.

Typically, users are tricked into downloading and installing PUAs. Information about how most PUAs are distributed and how to avoid installation of them is provided below.

How did adware install on my computer?

Users sometimes inadvertently download and install unwanted apps via deceptive advertisements - they click ads that cause unwanted download/installations by executing certain scripts.

Unwanted downloads and installations also occur during download/installation of other programs. I.e., when PUAs are included into the set-ups as 'extra offers'. This PUA distribution method of PUAs is called "bundling".

Typically, offers to download and install these additional apps can be declined via "Custom", "Advanced" or other settings, or by unticking certain checkboxes within the set-ups. When users download and install programs without making these checks and changes, they often allow PUAs to infiltrate.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are advised not to use Peer-to-Peer networks (such as eMule, torrent clients, etc.), unofficial websites, third party downloaders, installers, etc. to download or install software or files. Use official pages and direct links.

Check download/installation set-ups for settings such as "Advanced", "Manual, or "Custom" (or include certain checkboxes) and decline offers to download or install unwanted apps before completing the process.

Additionally, do not trust or click advertisements that are displayed on dubious web pages - they can open other rogue sites or cause unwanted downloads and installations.

Remove any suspicious or unknown extensions, add-ons and plug-ins installed on the browser. The same applies to software of this kind that is installed on the operating system.

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.
