How to remove redirects to and from reminews.com website?

What is reminews[.]com?

Reminews[.]com is an untrustworthy website.It shares many common traits with kokotrokot.com, reatenedb.club, ryknewho.club, and countless others. This page operates by delivering dubious material and/or redirecting visitors to rogue/malicious sites.

Users typically access such websites inadvertently; most get redirected to them by intrusive ads or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). These apps do not need explicit permission to infiltrate systems; hence, users may be unaware of their presence.

PUAs are designed to cause redirects, deliver intrusive advert campaigns, and collect browsing-related information.

Whether visitors to reminews[.]com get redirected somewhere else and/or are presented with questionable content - depends on their geolocations. The webpage learns this information by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses.

Additionally, sites like reminews[.]com tend to use deceptive tactics (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick visitors into allowing their browser notifications. Reminews[.]com instructs users to "Press 'Allow', to watch video", thereby implying that its notifications must be enabled for users to view the video presented in it.

Should the browser notifications be allowed, reminews[.]com will begin running intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered ads are more than just a nuisance, they endanger device and user safety as well.

Upon being clicked, intrusive adverts redirect to sale-based, unreliable, misleading, deceptive/scam, and malicious webpages. Some of these advertisements can even be triggered (by being clicked) to execute scripts - to download/install software (e.g., PUAs) without user consent.

PUAs can have various harmful functionalities, and these functions can be in different combinations. For example, these apps can force-open untrustworthy/dangerous sites and/or deliver intrusive advert campaigns.

Furthermore, PUAs usually have data-tracking abilities. Information of interest includes: URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, IP addresses, geolocations, personally identifiable details, etc. The gathered data is then monetized by being shared with and/or sold to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices - can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs appear legitimate and offer a broad range of "useful" and "advantageous" features. However, despite how good the advertised functions may sound - they are rarely operational.

Functionality and user safety are irrelevant as the only goal of unwanted apps is to generate profit for the developers. Therefore, instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and gather private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs. This false marketing technique of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions - is called "bundling".

Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, skipped steps and sections, etc.) increase the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the system. Intrusive adverts spread PUAs as well.

Once clicked on, the ads can execute scripts to stealthily download/install these applications. Some PUAs also have "official" download webpages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to research software before download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, only official and verified download sources must be used.

Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting sites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - commonly offer deceptive and bundled content. When downloading/installing, it is important to read terms, explore all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from additional apps, tools, functions, etc.

Intrusive advertisements appear ordinary and innocuous; however, they redirect to highly questionable websites (e.g., gambling, adult-dating, pornography, and many others). In case of encounters with ads and/or redirects of this type, the system must be inspected and all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - immediately removed from it.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
