How to stop ads from a more*.biz (more1[.]biz, more2[.]biz, more3[.]biz ...) site?

What is more*.biz?

More*.biz is a group of rogue websites (more1[.]biz, more2[.]biz, more3[.]biz, more4[.]biz, etc.), which are designed to present visitors with questionable content and/or redirect them to different (likely unreliable or malicious) pages.

The Internet is rife with rogue webpages; liffsandupa.xyz, aidraiphejpb.com, news-themes.com - are but a few examples. Users seldom access such sites intentionally; most get redirected to them by suspect pages, intrusive ads, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

More*.biz websites in detail

How rogue sites operate is determined by their visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. Therefore, whether visitors to the more*.biz webpages are presented with dubious material and/or redirected elsewhere - depends on this information. Furthermore, websites of this type use deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to lure users into enabling their browser notifications.

This applies to the more*.biz sites as well. Should the notifications be allowed - the webpage will start running intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered ads are more than just a nuisance, they also pose a threat to device/user safety. Once clicked on, intrusive advertisements redirect to various untrustworthy/malicious pages, and some can even stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs).

Potentially unwanted application overview

Despite their legitimate appearance, PUAs do not operate as advertised. Instead of delivering on any promises, unwanted apps can force-open webpages, deliver intrusive advert campaigns, hijack browsers, and collect private information.

In summary, the presence of PUAs on devices can lead to system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are proliferated using the "bundling" marketing tactic - packing regular programs with unwanted/malicious supplements. Rushed download/installation processes increase the risk of allowing bundled content into the device.

Intrusive adverts are used to distribute PUAs as well. When clicked on, the advertisements can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user permission. Some of these applications can also have "official" download webpages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is important to always research software and download it from official/verified sources. Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and freeware sites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, etc. - often offer bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is advised to read terms, explore possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from all additions. Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate, yet they redirect to various questionable websites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).

In case of encounters with such ads and/or redirects, the system must be inspected and all dubious 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

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.
