How to remove software causing redirects to tradedoubler.com

What is tradedoubler.com?

Identical to mobileofferplace.site, mobilemonetize.me, pipeschannels.com, and many others, tradedoubler.com is a rogue site designed to cause redirects to other suspicious websites.

Research shows that users often visit tradedoubler.com inadvertently - they are redirected by various potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), such as adware-type apps, that infiltrate systems without consent. As well as causing redirects, PUPs deliver intrusive advertisements and monitor users' Internet browsing activity.

After system infiltration, PUPs open new browser tabs and redirect to tradedoubler.com which, in turn, immediately redirects to another random site that might be malicious. Therefore, redirects to tradedoubler.com (and others) might lead to high-risk adware or malware infections. Another downside is display of advertisements.

PUPs display coupon, banner, pop-up, and other similar advertisements that conceal underlying website content, thereby significantly diminishing the web browsing experience. These advertisements might lead to malicious websites - clicking them can result in further computer infections.

PUPs also track users' Internet browsing activity by gathering IP addresses, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other similar information.

The data might contain personal details that are shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who generate revenue by misusing personal information. Therefore, information tracking can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. We strongly advise you to uninstall all PUPs immediately.

There are dozens of PUPs, all of which are virtually identical. By offering various 'useful features', they often trick users into believing that these programs are legitimate and useful, however, all PUPs are designed only to generate revenue for the developers.

They give no significant value for regular users. PUPs cause unwanted redirects (thereby generating traffic for various websites), deliver intrusive online advertisements (via the "Pay Per Click" advertising model), and continually gather various information (which is later sold to third parties).

How did adware install on my computer?

PUPs are distributed using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". Developers know that users often rush the download/installation processes and skip steps. Therefore, they hide PUPs within the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings. Skipping this section often leads to inadvertent installation of rogue applications.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

There are two simple steps you should take to prevent this situation. Firstly, select the "Custom/Advanced" settings and closely analyze each download/installation step. Secondly, decline offers to download/install additional applications and cancel those already included. The key to computer safety is caution.
