What is blackfr1dayz[.]com?

Typically, websites like blackfr1dayz[.]com are designed to promote various untrustworthy websites and to trick visitors into allowing them to show notifications. It is important to mention that users do not visit such pages on purpose. They unintentionally open such websites when they click shady ads, visit other untrustworthy pages. Also, it is common that browsers open certain pages by themselves when some potentially unwanted application (PUA) is installed on them. There are many web pages like blackfr1dayz[.]com on the Internet. Some examples are goldeneraaudio[.]org, load28[.]biz and goodmode[.]biz.

Blackfr1dayz[.]com is designed to load some questionable content or to open two, three or even more questionable pages that may be used to promote adware, browser hijackers, or even some malicious software. It is worthwhile to mention that what blackfr1dayz[.]com does once it is visited depends on the geolocation of its visitors. As mentioned in the first paragraph, blackfr1dayz[.]com is designed to trick its visitors into clicking the "Allow" button/into allowing it to show notifications. Blackfr1dayz[.]com says that visitors need to click the "Allow" button to watch some video. It is just one of the several popular clickbait techniques that pages like blackfr1dayz[.]com use to trick users into allowing them to display unwanted ads, promote dubious pages or show notifications containing other shady content. It is strongly advisable not to allow any questionable website to show its notifications, it may lead to unwanted downloads, installations, diminished browsing experience, etc.

Another important thing that users who have PUAs installed on their web browsers or computers should know is that such apps can be designed to gather browsing-related. For example, addresses visited websites, entered search queries, geolocations, IP addresses, and even personal sensitive information. What is worse, gathered information could be sold to third parties (potentially cyber criminals) for marketing purposes, or monetized (misused) in other ways. It means that their users are at risk of becoming victims of identity theft, having problems with web browsing safety, online privacy, or other serious issues. One more reason not to have any PUAs installed is that such apps can be designed to generate revenue for their developers by displaying various advertisements. Those ads tend to be designed to open questionable websites, sometimes they can cause unwanted downloads and/or installations by running certain scripts. Typically, PUAs display coupons, banners, pop-ups, surveys (or ads of other types).

To summarize, it is strongly recommended not to trust websites like blackfr1dayz[.]com, pages that they promote, or allow them to show notifications. If a browser opens unwanted websites by itself, then it is likely that it is infected with some potentially unwanted application. Typically, users are tricked into downloading and installing PUAs. They do not download or install them knowingly. Information about how most PUAs are distributed and how to avoid their installation is provided below.

How did adware install on my computer?

Sometimes users inadvertently cause unwanted downloads, installations by clicking deceptive advertisements that are used to distribute unwanted apps by designing them to run certain scripts. In other cases, users download and install potentially unwanted applications together with other, mainly free programs. More precisely, when PUAs are bundled together with other programs. In such cases, downloaders or installers have settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual", or some checkboxes that can be used to opt out (decline) unwanted apps/offers. When users finish downloads, installations without changing any of those settings, they download, install offered applications too.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Do not use third-party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks like torrent clients, eMule, unofficial web pages, freeware download pages, etc. They can be used to distribute not only PUAs but also malicious apps. Download files and programs from official websites and through direct links. Always check downloaders and installers (especially if software is free) for bundled apps. More precisely, for settings or checkboxes that could be used to opt out unwanted applications. Avoid clicking advertisements that appear on various questionable, untrustworthy websites as well. The problem with those ads is that they often are used to promote other questionable pages or distribute unwanted software. Additionally, regularly check the browser for unwanted, suspicious extensions, add-ons, plug-ins and the operating system for unwanted software. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Malwarebytes for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
