How to remove redirects to and from ntformetog.fun website?

What is ntformetog[.]fun?

Ntformetog[.]fun is an untrustworthy website, which operates by presenting visitors with dubious material and/or redirecting them to different unreliable/malicious pages. Sites like ntformetog[.]fun, n02.biz, maximus-time.com, video-change.digital, and thousands of other untrustworthy webpages are usually accessed inadvertently.

Most users enter them through redirects caused by intrusive advertisements or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

This software can be installed onto systems without user consent. PUAs are designed to cause redirects, deliver intrusive advert campaigns, and gather browsing-related and vulnerable data.

Once accessed, the first thing ntformetog[.]fun does is check the visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses - in order to learn their geolocations. This information determines the webpage's further course of action.

In other words, whether visitors get redirected elsewhere and/or presented with questionable content - depends on their geolocations. Furthermore, rogue sites use deceptive techniques to trick users into enabling their browser notifications.

This applies to ntformetog[.]fun as well; it employs visual clickbait to lure visitors into allowing its notifications. Should they be enabled, the website will begin delivering intrusive advertisement campaigns.

The delivered ads pose a threat to device/user safety. When clicked on, intrusive adverts redirect to misleading/dangerous webpages, and some can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) without user permission.

Unwanted applications can have different abilities, and these functions can be in varied combinations. For example, PUAs can force-upon various websites and/or run intrusive ad campaigns.

What is more, most apps of this kind can track data. Information of interest includes: URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, and so forth.

PUA developers monetize the collected data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties, likewise intent on misusing it for profit. In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices - can lead to system infections, financial losses, severe privacy issues, and even identity theft.

Therefore, it is strongly advised to remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs typically appear ordinary and harmless. Users are lured into download/installation and/or purchase with offers of "useful" functionalities.

However, these functions are rarely operational. The only goal of unwanted apps is to generate revenue for the developers; hence, functionality and user safety are irrelevant.

PUAs operate by causing redirects, delivering intrusive advertisement campaigns, and gathering private information.

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, used pre-set options, etc.) increase the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled content into the system. Intrusive adverts are also used to proliferate PUAs.

Upon being clicked, the advertisements can execute scripts to stealthily download/install these apps. Some PUAs have "official" promotional sites from which they can be downloaded and/or purchased.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to research software before download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, all downloads must be done from official and verified sources.

Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (Torrent clients, Gnutella, eMule, etc.), and other third-party downloaders - often offer hazardous and bundled content. When downloading/installing, it is advised to read terms, study available options, use the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings, and opt-out from supplementary apps, tools, features, etc.

Intrusive adverts appear legitimate and innocuous; however, they redirect to highly questionable webpages (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and so forth). In case of encounters with such ads and/or redirects, the system must be checked and all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - removed from it without delay.

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

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.
