How to remove redirects to and from uspetenti.top

What is the uspetenti[.]top site?

uspetenti[.]top is a rogue website designed to present visitors with dubious content and redirect them to other untrustworthy/malicious pages. There are thousands of similar sites on the web including settings-chrome.com, newsfeedscroller.com, and thehypenewz.com.

Users rarely access websites of this type intentionally - most are redirected to them by intrusive ads or by installed Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). This software does not require explicit user consent to infiltrate systems.

PUAs cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect browsing-related information.

When accessed, uspetenti[.]top first checks visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to learn their geolocations. This information is key to determining the web page's further course of action. I.e., whether visitors are redirected elsewhere or are presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, most rogue sites attempt to trick visitors into enabling browser notifications. This applies to uspetenti[.]top as well - it implies that the notifications must be allowed to enter the page. Should they be enabled, the website starts running intrusive advertisement campaigns.

The delivered ads are more than a nuisance, they pose a threat to device/user safety. When clicked, intrusive ads can redirect to various dubious/malicious sites and some can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs).

PUAs often have dangerous functionality, and these functions can be in varied combinations. For example, they can force-open dangerous websites and run intrusive ad campaigns.

Furthermore, most unwanted applications (regardless of type/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 even personally identifiable details).

In summary, PUAs can lead to system infections, financial loss, serious privacy issues, and even identity theft.

To ensure device integrity and user privacy, all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be removed immediately upon detection.

PUAs may seem legitimate and harmless, and users are often enticed into download/installation and purchase with offers of various of "useful" features. This functionality is seldom operational, since the only purpose of this unwanted software is to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs cause redirects, 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 installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are advised to research all software before download/installation. Use only official and verified download channels. Unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule), and other third party downloaders commonly offer harmful and bundled content, and are therefore untrusted and should be avoided.

When downloading/installing, read the terms, study all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of additional apps, tools, features, and so on.

Intrusive advertisements typically seem legitimate, however, they can redirect to dubious and malicious sites (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and many others). If you encounter ads or redirects of this kind, inspect the system and remove all dubious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately.

Installed programs must be activated and updated with tools or implemented functions that are provided by the official developers. No other third party, unofficial tools should be used.

Note that it is illegal to activate licensed software with ‘cracking’ tools. Files and programs should be downloaded from official websites and via direct download links. Avoid third party installers and the tools/sources mentioned above.

Do not open website links or files in irrelevant emails that are received from unknown, suspicious addresses. These bogus emails are often disguised as official and important. Regularly, scan your computer with reputable, up-to-date antivirus or anti-spyware software.

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.
