How to eliminate ads delivered by the myfreshspot.com website?

What is myfreshspot[.]com?

Myfreshspot[.]com is an untrustworthy website sharing similarities with re*.biz, hdvideosnet.com, positivestar.org, and many others. This rogue page operates by loading dubious material and/or redirecting visitors to various (likely harmful or outright malicious) sites.

These webpages are typically accessed via redirects caused by suspect websites, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

Myfreshspot[.]com in detail

Whether visitors to myfreshspot[.]com and similar sites are presented with questionable content and/or redirected elsewhere - is dictated by their IP addresses/ geolocations.

Additionally, most rogue pages employ clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc. - to trick users into enabling their browser notifications. Should they be allowed, myfreshspot[.]com will begin delivering intrusive ad campaigns.

The displayed advertisements can be misleading, deceptive, and even dangerous. They promote various unreliable and malicious websites. Furthermore, some intrusive adverts can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs) - when they are clicked on.

Potentially unwanted application overview

Despite their legitimate and harmless appearance, PUAs seldom work as advertised. What is more, these apps usually have undesirable/hazardous abilities, e.g., force-opening webpages, running intrusive ad campaigns (adware), modifying browsers and promoting fake search engines (browser hijackers), collecting private data, etc.

In summary, PUAs can cause system infections, severe privacy issues, significant financial losses, and even lead to identity theft.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are spread using the "bundling" technique - packing regular programs with unwanted/malicious additions. Hence, by rushing through downloads/installations - users risk allowing bundled content into their devices. Intrusive adverts are also used to distribute PUAs. Upon being clicked, the advertisements can execute scripts to download/install this software without user permission. Select PUAs may have "official" download pages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

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

When downloading/installing, it is important to read terms, study possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from all supplements. Intrusive ads appear legitimate, yet they redirect to dubious sites (e.g., gambling, adult-dating, pornography, etc.).

Should users experience such adverts and/or redirects, they must inspect their devices and immediately remove 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.
