Becausaldevel.info POP-UP Redirect

What is becausaldevel.info?

becausaldevel.info is a standard rogue website designed to redirect visitors to other dubious sites or to display malicious content. It is very similar to many other websites of this type including, for example, onlinepushnotification.com, parliery.info, and motheremutand.info.

People do not generally visit these websites voluntarily - they are redirected by potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) that they install unintentionally. PUAs usually collect data and force browsers to display ads.

Once installed, potentially unwanted apps force people to visit rogue websites (in this case, becausaldevel.info) by opening them in new browser windows or tabs. When visited, becausaldevel.info opens about two or three other web pages that could be malicious. Alternatively, it displays dubious, deceptive content. Its behaviour depends on the visitor's geo-location.

By having to visit these websites, people are put at risk of various computer infections. Another downside of PUAs is that they usually operate as information tracking apps: they collect browsing-related, and other, data. For example, IP addresses, search queries, URLs of visited websites, geo-locations, etc. They can also gather personal details.

People who develop these apps share the data with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. If installed, data tracking apps can cause privacy issues, problems with browsing safety, or they can even lead to identity theft.

Another disadvantage or PUAs are advertisements that are displayed using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, these ads are placed on visited websites and conceal underlying content. Some examples of the ads that PUAs display are coupons, banners, pop-ups, and surveys.

Furthermore, when clicked, they open dubious or even malicious websites. Some can run scripts that download and install unwanted apps. For these reasons, we recommend that you uninstall all PUAs immediately and avoid them in the future.

There are many potentially unwanted apps on the internet. Most of their developers promote them by offering "useful" features and tools, and they present them as legitimate. In fact, PUAs record sensitive information, deliver unwanted ads, and cause redirects to untrustworthy websites. Many are used to generate revenue rather than provide any useful functionality.

How did adware install on my computer?

Some PUAs can be downloaded from their websites, however, they are usually installed through clicked intrusive ads or due to "bundling", a deceptive marketing method used to trick users into installing third party apps (PUAs) with regular software. Therefore, many users install potentially unwanted applications inadvertently.

To successfully achieve this, developers do not disclose information about the inclusion of PUAs and hide them in "Custom", "Advanced" options/settings of software download or installation set-ups. Furthermore, many users often skip download/installation steps, thereby inadvertently allowing PUAs to be installed.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Avoid using Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule, and so on), unofficial websites, third party downloaders and other such tools as sources to download software. Use official websites and direct links. Do not to leave "Custom", "Advanced" and other setting of software download/installation set-up unchecked.

To avoid unwanted installations (or downloads), check set-ups and deselect offers to install/download unwanted apps. Do not click intrusive ads, especially if they are displayed on untrustworthy or unofficial websites. Many deceptive ads cause unwanted redirects (to pages such as adult dating, pornography, gambling, and so on).

If a browser forces you to visit dubious websites, causes unwanted redirects, or intrusive ads appear regularly, check the list of installed browser apps. Also check the list of installed add-ons, plug-ins, and extensions. Eliminate all unwanted, unknown or suspicious entries immediately.

The same applies to programs installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
