How to uninstall apps causing redirects to the edinmyhomet.biz site?

What is the edinmyhomet[.]biz website?

Edinmyhomet[.]biz is a rogue site sharing many common traits with helthtop.space, leaked-video.live, bestdream.space, and thousands of others. These webpages operate by presenting their visitors with dubious content and/or redirecting them to untrustworthy/malicious sites.

Users rarely access such websites intentionally; most get redirected to them by intrusive adverts or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). These apps can be installed onto devices without explicit user consent. PUAs are designed to cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and gather browsing-related data.

The first thing edinmyhomet[.]biz does is check the visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses in order to learn their geolocations. This information determines the site's further course of action. In other words, whether visitors are presented with questionable material and/or redirected to other websites - depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, rogue webpages use fake CAPTCHA verification, clickbait, and other deceptive tactics to trick visitors into allowing their browser notifications. Edinmyhomet[.]biz is not an exception to this, and should its notifications be enabled - it will begin running intrusive ad campaigns.

The delivered ads are deceptive, untrustworthy, and may even be malicious. Intrusive advertisements promote various unreliable and dangerous pages.

What is more, some of these ads can be triggered (by being clicked) to execute scripts designed to download/install software (e.g., PUAs) stealthily. Despite their legitimate appearance, PUAs can have heinous functionalities that can be in different combinations.

For example, these apps can force-open sites and/or deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns. PUAs usually have data tracking abilities, regardless of other functions.

Targeted information includes: URLs visited, webpages viewed, search queries typed, IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, and so on. PUA developers monetize the collected data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties, likewise intent on misusing it for financial gain.

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

PUAs seldom appear suspect, they tend to look like ordinary and harmless products. Users are enticed into download/installation and/or purchase with offers of various "handy" features. However, the promised functionalities are usually nonoperational.

The sole purpose of unwanted software is to generate revenue at user expense. Therefore, instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive advert campaigns, and collect private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are proliferated via download/installation setups of other programs. "Bundling" is the name of this false marketing technique - packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions. By rushing through download/installation processes (e.g., skipping steps and sections, etc.) - users risk allowing bundled content into their devices.

Intrusive adverts are also employed to spread PUAs. Once clicked on, the advertisements can execute scripts to download/install these applications without user permission. PUAs may have "official" promotional/download pages as well.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advised to research products before download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, only official and verified download channels must be used.

Since untrustworthy download sources, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - commonly offer bundled and/or harmful content. When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, explore all possible options, use the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings, and opt-out from additional apps, tools, features, etc.

Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate and innocuous; however, they redirect to various questionable and unreliable sites (e.g., gambling, adult-dating, pornography, and so forth). Should users experience ads and/or redirects of this type, they must check their devices and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins.

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