Read-this-hot-stuff.today POP-UP Ads

What is read-this-hot-stuff[.]today?

When visited, read-this-hot-stuff[.]today displays dubious content or causes redirects to other, untrustworthy, rogue websites. Its behavior is identical to oraronerethet[.]info, newchannel[.]club, hatnofort[.]com, and many other sites. Potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) usually force people to visit websites of this type unintentionally. If installed, PUAs usually gather browsing-related data and serve users with ads.

PUAs open rogue websites in new browser tabs or windows. When visited, read-this-hot-stuff[.]today displays deceptive, dubious content or opens other (about 2-3) untrustworthy (potentially malicious) websites. Its actions depend on the visitor's location. Furthermore, many PUAs serve users with coupons, banners, surveys, pop-up ads, and other intrusive advertisements.

They are displayed through tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site and conceal underlying content. Furthermore, if clicked, they cause even more unwanted redirects to dubious pages or execute scripts designed to cause download and installation of potentially unwanted applications.

Furthermore, PUAs of this type often operate as information tracking tools. They gather data such as IP addresses, geolocations, URLs of visited websites, entered search queries, and other details relating to users' browsing habits. In addition, some PUAs might be designed to collect personal details.

Developers share all recorded data with other parties who misuse it to generate revenue. Some of these third parties might be cyber criminals.

In summary, having PUAs installed can lead to privacy/browsing safety issues or identity theft. Most are presented as legitimate tools, however, they are designed only to generate revenue for the developers. Remove all PUAs immediately.

How did adware install on my computer?

In most cases, PUAs infiltrate the system through intrusive advertisements or when they are downloaded and installed with other software that was downloaded/installed intentionally. Developers often include PUAs in the set-ups of other software. This method is called "bundling".

Bundled apps are usually hidden in "Custom", "Advanced" and other settings. Users often rush downloads and installations without taking a closer look at the settings. By leaving them unchanged, they often allow PUAs to be downloaded and installed.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Check all available download and installation setup options and deselect all additionally-included, unwanted applications. Avoid using unofficial software download sources or third party software downloaders, Peer-to-Peer networks and so on. The safest way to download software is from official websites and using direct links.

Furthermore, do not trust or click ads displayed on dubious pages relating to gambling, adult dating, and so on. These ads usually open other untrustworthy websites. If these ads or redirects occur randomly (without clicking anything), check apps installed on the browser and programs on the operating system.

Uninstall/remove all unwanted, suspicious extensions, add-ons or plug-ins from the browser and programs from the computer immediately. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
