How to remove software force-opening the freevideos24h.com website?

What is freevideos24h[.]com?

Freevideos24h[.]com is a rogue site that shares many similarities with hey-brazil.net, ersfeeiling.fun, applydatinghere.com, and countless others. It operates by redirecting visitors to unreliable/malicious websites and/or loading dubious content.

Users tend to enter such websites unintentionally; most get redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). These apps do not require explicit user consent to be installed onto systems.

PUAs can have heinous abilities, including - causing redirects, running intrusive advert campaigns, and collecting browsing-related information.

The behavior of freevideos24h[.]com depends on its visitors' geolocations. The website checks users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to learn this information. In other words, whether visitors to freevideos24h[.]com are presented with questionable material and/or redirected elsewhere - is determined by their IP addresses/ geolocations.

Furthermore, these sites typically use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, and other deceptive content to trick users into allowing their browser notifications. This is also true of freevideos24h[.]com; it instructs to "Click Allow to watch the video".

By following these instructions - visitors will inadvertently enable the website's notifications, thereby allowing it to begin running intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered ads are deemed to be dangerous.

Once clicked on, intrusive adverts redirect to various untrustworthy/malicious pages, and some can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs). PUAs can have varied harmful functions, which can be in different combinations.

For example, these apps can force-open sites and/or deliver intrusive advert campaigns. Most PUAs can track data as well.

Targeted information includes: browsing and search engine histories, IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, etc. PUA developers monetize the gathered data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices - can result in system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. To ensure device integrity and user safety, all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be removed immediately upon detection.

PUAs appear ordinary and innocuous. They usually offer a broad range of "useful" and "advantageous" features. However, these functions seldom work as promised, and in most cases - they do not work at all.

Functionality and user privacy are irrelevant, since the sole aim of PUAs is to generate profit for the developers. Therefore, instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can force-open unreliable and hazardous websites, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect sensitive information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other software. The deceptive marketing method of packing regular products with unwanted or malicious additions - is termed "bundling".

Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, skipped steps and sections, used pre-set options, etc.) increase the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled content into the system. These applications are also spread via intrusive adverts.

When clicked on, the ads can execute scrips to make downloads/installations without user permission. PUAs may have "official" download pages as well.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advised to research products to verify their legitimacy before download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, all downloads must be performed from official and trustworthy sources.

Dubious download channels, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting (freeware) websites, P2P sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), and other third-party downloaders - often offer harmful and bundled content. Download and installation processes have to be treated with caution; that entails - reading terms, studying available options, using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings, and opting-out from supplementary apps, tools, features, and other additions.

Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate; however, they redirect to highly unreliable and questionable sites (e.g., gambling, adult-dating, pornography, etc.). In case of encounters with ads and/or redirects of this type, the system must be checked 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.
