How to uninstall software force-opening the hornypornvid.com website?

What is hornypornvid[.]com?

Hornypornvid[.]com is the address of a rogue website. It is designed to load dubious content and/or redirect visitors to other pages (likely unreliable or malicious ones). The Internet is rife with such webpages; time4news.net, subordingry.website, junesmile.xyz - are but a few examples.

Users rarely enter rogue sites intentionally. Most get redirected to them by suspect websites, intrusive ads, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). This software can infiltrate systems without user permission and cause various issues.

Hornypornvid[.]com in detail

The behavior of rogue sites is determined by their visitors' geolocations. The webpages learn this information by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Therefore, whether visitors are presented with questionable material and/or redirected elsewhere - depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, like most similar websites, hornypornvid[.]com uses clickbait to trick visitors into allowing its browser notifications. This page states that users must give their consent and confirm that they are eighteen or older - to access the site (and its adult-oriented content).

Should the notifications be enabled, hornypornvid[.]com will start running intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered ads endorse sale-based, misleading, untrustworthy, deceptive/scam, and even malicious websites. Some intrusive advertisements can be triggered (by being clicked) to execute scripts designed to stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs).

How do potentially unwanted applications operate?

Potentially unwanted applications typically have harmful functionalities. These functions can be in varied combinations. For example, these apps can force-open sites and/or deliver intrusive advert campaigns. Most PUAs also have data tracking abilities.

They record browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collect vulnerable information extracted from it (IP addresses, personally identifiable details, etc.). The developers then monetize the data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties.

In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices can lead to serious privacy issues, system infections, financial losses, and identity theft. To ensure device integrity and user privacy, it is crucial to remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

Potentially unwanted applications in general

PUAs usually appear legitimate and offer a wide variety of "useful" features, which are seldom operational. The only aim of unwanted apps is to generate profit for the developers; hence, functionality and user safety are irrelevant. Instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive advert campaigns, and collect private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs. "Bundling" is the name of this false marketing method - packing ordinary software with unwanted or malicious additions. These supplements can be hidden within the "Custom/Advanced" settings or left unmentioned entirely.

By rushing through download/installation processes (e.g., ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using "Easy/Express" settings, etc.) - users risk inadvertently allowing bundled content into their devices, thereby endangering the systems with potential infections.

Intrusive advertisements are also used to distribute PUAs. Once clicked on, the adverts can execute scripts to download/install these applications without user consent. PUAs may have "official" promotional sites from which they can be downloaded.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advised to research software prior to 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, and other third-party downloaders - can offer bundled and dangerous content.

When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, study available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings to opt-out from supplementary apps, tools, etc. Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate; however, they redirect to various questionable sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and so on).

Should users experience such adverts and/or redirects, they must inspect their devices and immediately remove all dubious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
