Codeadnetwork.com Redirect

What is codeadnetwork.com?

codeadnetwork.com is a rogue website identical to eatyellowmango.com, apple-panda.com, click-cpa.net, and many others. codeadnetwork.com redirects to various other suspicious websites.

Therefore, users often visit this site inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted (mostly adware-type) programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without permission. As well as causing redirects, PUPs deliver intrusive online advertisements and continually monitor users' Internet browsing activity.

PUPs open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users to codeadnetwork.com. This site immediately causes another redirect to a random website that might be malicious. Therefore, redirects to codeadnetwork.com (and others) can lead to high-risk computer infections.

As mentioned above, PUPs also deliver various intrusive ads - these conceal underlying website content, significantly diminishing the web browsing experience. Furthermore, they often redirect to websites that also contain malicious content or even execute scripts that download and install malware and/or PUPs.

Therefore, clicking intrusive ads can also lead to various computer infections. Note that PUPs monitor browsing activity by recording various data that might be personally identifiable.

The developers of these programs aim to generate revenue by selling the information (Internet Protocol addresses, geo-locations, mouse/keyboard activity, websites visited, queries entered into search engines, pages viewed, etc.) to third parties. These people (potentially, cyber criminals) also aim to increase their revenue by misusing personal details.

The presence of information-tracking applications can result in serious privacy issues or even identity theft. We strongly advise you to uninstall all PUPs immediately.

The Internet is full of PUPs that offer users various "useful features", however, these claims are merely attempts to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install. In fact, PUPs give no significant value for regular users. Their only purpose is to generate revenue for the developers.

They PUPs promote various dubious websites (by causing unwanted redirects), display intrusive online advertisements (via the "Pay Per Click" advertising model), and gather various data (which is later sold to third parties). Note that most PUPs promote fake Internet search engines that are also designed to generate revenue for the developers.

Fake search engines also promote other sites by generating fake results, delivering intrusive ads, and collecting data. Note that as with intrusive ads, fake search results can also lead to malicious websites. Therefore, using a fake search engine is very risky.

How did adware install on my computer?

As mentioned above, PUPs are proliferated using intrusive advertising, however, criminals also proliferate them via a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" - stealth installation of third party programs with regular software/apps. Developers know that users often skip most download/installation steps and thus hide "bundled" apps within the "Custom/Advanced" options.

Therefore, skipping steps and clicking intrusive advertisements often leads to inadvertent installation of rogue applications. In addition, users inadvertently grant set-ups permission to modify various options (for example, browser settings) and compromise their privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To prevent this situation, be very cautious when browsing the Internet and downloading/installing software. Avoid clicking displayed ads, since criminals put a great deal of time and money into designing advertisements and making them appear genuine. Therefore, it is virtually impossible to determine if they originate from visited (legitimate) websites.

Do not take the risk of clicking them. Furthermore, carefully analyze each download/installation step using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings and opt-out of all additionally-included programs. Your software should be downloaded from trusted sources only using a direct download URL, since third party download tools commonly bundle third party programs.
