How to eliminate the ads delivered by businesspayments.org website?

What is businesspayments[.]org?

Businesspayments[.]org is an untrustworthy website similar to ourcoolstories.com, spdate.com, news-lipaze.cc, and countless others. It is designed to load questionable content, push its browser notifications, and/or redirect visitors to various (likely deceptive or malicious) sites.

Users typically access such rogue webpages via redirects caused by suspect sites, intrusive advertisements, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

Businesspayments[.]org overview

Rogue webpages' behavior is determined by visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. Therefore, whether users visiting businesspayments[.]org are presented with dubious material and/or redirected elsewhere.

Furthermore, businesspayments[.]org uses fake CAPTCHA verification (or other clickbait) to trick visitors into allowing its browser notifications. If they are enabled, the website will begin running intrusive advertisements campaigns. The displayed adverts endorse various unreliable, sale-based, compromised, deceptive/scam, and malicious pages. What is more, some intrusive ads can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) without user permission - when clicked.

Potentially unwanted application overview

Despite their legitimate appearance, PUAs seldom work as advertised. Instead, these apps can have harmful abilities, e.g., force-opening webpages, delivering intrusive ad campaigns, hijacking browsers, and gathering vulnerable information.

To summarize, the presence of unwanted software on devices can lead to system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs. This deceptive marketing technique of packing regular software with various additions - is called "bundling". Additionally, when clicked on, intrusive adverts can download/install PUAs stealthily. Some unwanted apps also have "official" download webpages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

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

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

In case of encounters with adverts and/or redirects of this kind, the system must be checked and all suspicious 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.
