1bcde.com POP-UP Redirect

What is 1bcde.com?

1bcde.com is a rogue website that is virtually identical to ilowcost.ru, click-view-and-buy.com, audienceline.com, and many others designed to redirect visitors to other untrustworthy sites. In most cases users visit such web pages inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that are installed without users' consent.

PUP cause redirects, deploy intrusive advertisements, collect information, and affect computer performance by running various background tasks.

When installed, this potentially unwanted program opens a new browser window or tab and forces users to visit 1bcde.com, which then redirects to other (about two or three) untrustworthy websites. Visiting such websites can result in high-risk computer infections.

Furthermore, PUPs are known to collect data such as IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, geo-locations, search queries, keystrokes, visited websites, and other similar information that might contain sensitive or personally-identifiable details. Furthermore, the details are shared with third parties (potentially cyber criminals) and then used to generate revenue.

These actions can lead to privacy issues or even identity theft. Potentially unwanted programs also tend to deliver intrusive ads. These are displayed via tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site (and conceal underlying content).

They can be very annoying and distracting - clicking them might result in redirects to untrustworthy websites or even execution of scripts that download and install potentially unwanted programs (often, malware). In addition to the above, some PUPs run background tasks that can affect computer performance (slow it down). We strongly recommend that you uninstall all PUPs immediately.

Most potentially unwanted programs have one purpose: to generate revenue from collected data, deploy ads, and cause redirects. Only a small fraction of these rogue programs provide the features promised or give any other real value for their users.

How did adware install on my computer?

Potentially unwanted programs can often be downloaded from their official websites, but most are installed inadvertently through intrusive ads or together with other regular software. Software developers commonly use the so-called "bundling" method to trick users into installing PUPs.

Bundling is a deceptive marketing method used to stealthily install (or download) software. In most cases, potentially unwanted programs are hidden in the "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar options/settings of the installation processes. In this way, additional installations are not properly disclosed.

Furthermore, many users often skip installation steps and click ads. These behaviour leads to inadvertent installation of potentially unwanted programs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To avoid PUPs installations, download software from official/trustworthy sites and using direct links. Avoid using torrents, third party software downloaders/installers, since these often are monetized by promoting potentially unwanted programs. When installing software, ensure that you check "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual" and other similar settings.

Opt-out of unwanted offers/additional software and only then finish the installation process. Bear in mind that clicking intrusive ads can result in redirects to other untrustworthy or suspicious websites such as gambling, pornography, adult dating, etc.

If you have accidentally clicked a suspicious advertisement, close the window/tab and check for any unwanted entries in your browser (extensions, plug-ins, add-ons) and uninstall them. Also check if there are any dubious programs installed on your computer.

Finally, keep your web browser updated and antivirus software enabled at all times. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
