Checkpost.space POP-UP Ads

What is checkpost[.]space?

checkpost[.]space is yet another rogue website designed to cause redirects to other untrustworthy sites and deliver dubious content. This site shares many similarities with others such as orboreshitert.info, pushmobilenews.com, and ticeroftertal.info.

Research shows that visitors typically arrive at checkpost[.]space inadvertently - they are redirected by intrusive ads (displayed on other rogue sites) or potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). Apps of this type usually infiltrate computers without permission.

As well as causing redirects, they deliver intrusive advertisements and gather information relating to web browsing habits.

Following infiltration, unwanted applications start opening new browser tabs/windows and redirecting users to checkpost[.]space. This website then determines the visitor's geolocation by checking the IP address. This is done to ascertain whether the visitor should be redirected even further or presented with specific content.

In any case, users might end up encountering malicious content. Thus, redirects to and from checkpost[.]space might lead to various system infections. The same applies to intrusive advertisements.

Research shows that coupons, banners, pop-ups, and other similar advertisements often redirect to dubious websites and sometimes even run scripts designed to download and install additional unwanted/malicious applications. Therefore, clicking them might also result in system infections.

Unwanted apps are delivered using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, they often conceal underlying content, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience. Unwanted applications are also notorious for data tracking.

PUAs typically gather IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other similar information that is likely to contain personal details. Once recorded, this data is shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals, who generate revenue by misusing private information.

Therefore, data tracking might lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. Potentially unwanted applications should be eliminated immediately.

Unwanted applications share many similarities. By offering "useful functions", PUAs attempt to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install, however, they merely cause unwanted redirects, deliver advertisements, and gather information Their only purpose is to generate revenue for the developers.

How did adware install on my computer?

As mentioned above, potentially unwanted applications typically infiltrate systems without users’ permission, since developers proliferate them using intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" (stealth installation of third party applications together with regular software).

Developers hide "bundled" apps behind "Custom/Advanced" settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes. Furthermore, many users often rush these procedures and skip steps. In addition, they click various advertisements without understanding the possible consequences. This behavior often leads to installation of potentially unwanted applications.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To prevent this situation, be very cautious when browsing the Internet and downloading/installing software. Bear in mind that intrusive advertisements usually seem legitimate/legitimate, since developers invest many resources into their design, however, most redirect to gambling, adult dating, pornography, and other dubious sites.

If you encounter such ads/redirects frequently, remove all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins. In addition, select "Custom/Advanced" settings and analyze each step of the download/installation processes. Decline offers to download/install additional applications and opt-out of those already included.

We recommend that you download software from official sources only (via direct download links) rather than using third party downloaders/installers, since these tools are often used to "bundle" rogue applications. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
