Witchcraftcash.com Redirect

What is witchcraftcash.com?

witchcraftcash.com is a deceptive website identical to super.awesomeforyou.club, ad.dumedia.ru, marketgid.com, and many others. Research shows that witchcraftcash.com redirects users to various other suspicious websites.

Furthermore, users often visit witchcraftcash.com inadvertently - they are redirected by various potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that stealthily infiltrate systems during installation of other software ("bundling" method). As well as causing redirects, PUPs deliver intrusive advertisements and continually record various user-system information.

PUPs deliver pop-up, banner, coupon, and other similar ads. To achieve this, developers employ a "virtual layer" - a tool that enables placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, the displayed ads often conceal underlying content, significantly diminishing the browsing experience. In addition, some might redirect to websites containing malicious content.

Thus, even accidental clicks can result in high-risk adware or malware infections. The virtual layer is also used to cause redirects to witchcraftcash.com. After visiting this website, users are immediately redirected to another random website, which might also be malicious. Therefore, redirects to witchcraftcash.com can also lead to further computer infections.

PUPs continually record IP addresses, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, geo-locations, mouse/keyboard activity, and other similar information that might contain personal details.

This data is later shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who generate revenue by misusing users' personal information. Data tracking can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. We strongly advise you to uninstall all PUPs immediately.

There are hundreds of PUPs that are virtually identical. By offering a variety of 'useful features', PUPs such as QuickWeatherAlert, CloudExtender, Cookies On-Off, and many others, attempt to trick users into believing that they are legitimate and useful.

In fact, these PUPs are designed only to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than providing any value for regular users, they cause unwanted redirects, deliver intrusive advertisements, and continually record various user-system information.

How did adware install on my computer?

Criminals proliferate PUPs by employing a deceptive software marketing method called "bundling". PUP developers know that users often skip download/installation steps.

Therefore, they hide bundled programs within the "Custom/Advanced" options of these procedures. By skipping this section, users expose their systems to risk of various infections and compromise their privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To prevent system infiltration by PUPs, be very cautious when downloading and installing software. Closely analyze each step using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings. Furthermore, opt-out of all additionally-included software and decline offers to download/install them.

Most bundled apps are classed as malicious. Therefore, you should never install software that is distributed in this way.
