How to remove redirects to and from the omarona.com website

What is omarona[.]com?

omarona[.]com is a rogue website, sharing common traits with thenicenewz.com, leasedtohe.biz, pu.biz, and countless others. Visitors to this page are presented with dubious content and are redirected to other untrusted/malicious sites.

Most users access omarona[.]com and similar websites inadvertently - they are redirected to them by intrusive ads or installed Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). This software does not require explicit user consent to infiltrate systems. These apps cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect browsing-related data.

When omarona[.]com is entered, it first checks visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to learn their geolocations. This information determines the web page's further course of action. Therefore, whether visitors are redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations.

In addition, rogue websites often use deceptive tactics (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick users into allowing their browser notifications. The omarona[.]com page is no exception to this. It implies that, to continue watching online content, the notifications must be enabled: "Click the Allow button to subscribe to the push notifications and continue watching".

Should the browser notifications be allowed, omarona[.]com starts delivering intrusive ad campaigns. The delivered ads are more than just a minor annoyance, they also pose a threat to device/user safety. These advertisements promote misleading, deceptive/scam, compromised, and even malicious sites. Furthermore, intrusive ads can be triggered (when clicked) to download/install software (e.g., PUAs) without users' permission.

Potentially unwanted applications can have a wide variety of functionality, and these functions can be in different combinations. These apps can force-open dubious/dangerous websites and deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns.

Furthermore, most PUAs have data tracking capabilities. They can record browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collect sensitive information (IP addresses, geolocations, and personally identifiable details). The gathered data is then monetized by sharing with and/or selling to third-parties.

In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices can result in system infections, serious privacy issues, financial loss, and identity theft. To ensure device integrity and user privacy, all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be eliminated without delay.

PUAs may seem legitimate and harmless, and users are often enticed into download/installation and purchase with offers of various "useful" functionality, however, the advertised functions are rarely operational. The sole purpose of these unwanted apps is to generate profit at users' expense.

Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns, and collect private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

People often download and install unwanted apps inadvertently via deceptive advertisements - they click ads that cause unwanted downloads/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 to research all software before download/installation or purchase. All downloads must be done from official and verified sources, since dubious channels such as unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks and other third party downloaders commonly offer deceptive or bundled content.

When downloading/installing, read the terms, explore all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of supplementary apps, tools, features, etc. Intrusive ads may seem normal and harmless, however, they can redirect to various dubious web pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and many others).

If you encounter ads or redirects of this kind, inspect the system and remove any suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately.

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.
