Seodollars.com POP-UP Redirect

What is seodollars.com?

seodollars.com is similar or identical to many other rogue websites. Examples include tityx.com, paupervice.club, and partmentale.club.

 These websites cause redirects to other untrustworthy sites. Most users visit seodollars.com unintentionally - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that cause redirects, collect information, and deliver various intrusive ads. These PUAs are generally installed without users' consent.

Following infiltration, potentially unwanted applications of this type begin to randomly open new windows/tabs in browsers and redirect users to the seodollars.com rogue website. Users are then redirected to even more (2-3) untrustworthy websites that are often malicious and might cause various high-risk computer infections.

Two other problems that PUAs often cause are information tracking and intrusive ads. PUAs gather IP addresses, keystrokes, visited websites, search queries, geo-locations, etc., and share the information with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) and use it to generate revenue.

Some PUAs collect data that might contain personal or sensitive information, and thus users might experience various privacy issues or even identity theft. Furthermore, most potentially unwanted applications deliver intrusive ads that are typically displayed using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any visited website.

The ads often conceal legitimate website content, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience. They are usually displayed in the form of banners, coupons, surveys, and pop-ups.

Furthermore, they often redirect users to untrustworthy/potentially malicious websites or run scripts that download and install PUAs. You are strongly advised to remove PUAs immediately.

Some potentially unwanted applications might have slightly different, but most are identical and serve one purpose: to generate revenue by collecting information, delivering intrusive ads, and causing unwanted redirects.

Developers trick users into downloading them by offering various "useful" tools, however, few of these applications deliver the functionality promised or give any real value for regular users.

How did adware install on my computer?

Potentially unwanted applications can be downloaded from their official websites, but most users install them inadvertently - through clicked intrusive ads or during installation of other software. Developers often use the "bundling" method - a deceptive marketing used to stealthily install potentially unwanted applications together with regular software.

These installations are often not properly disclosed, and developers hide bundled PUAs in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar parts of the installation processes. By skipping installation steps, users install the software they wish to install, but together with potentially unwanted applications.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To avoid inadvertent installation of potentially unwanted applications, download software using official and trustworthy sources only. Do not use third party downloaders (or installers) or torrents. Carefully analyze each installation dialog window - check "Custom", "Advanced" and other options and opt-out of unwanted software/offers.

When you have deselected all unwanted/additional offers, you can then finish the installation. Avoid clicking intrusive ads even if they appear legitimate (not all are).

If you accidentally click an advertisement and are redirected to a suspicious website (such as gambling, pornography, adult dating, or other website of this type), close the site immediately and remove any dubious extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins from your browser, and unwanted programs from your computer.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
