Fortorsarrabse.info POP-UP Ads

What is fortorsarrabse[.]info?

fortorsarrabse[.]info is a rogue website similar to lalittandkedsi.info, gotwidores.info, lodder.club, and many others. It is designed to deliver various content and redirect users to other dubious websites.

Visitors typically arrive at fortorsarrabse[.]info inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements displayed on untrustworthy websites.

PUAs usually infiltrate computers without users’ permission. In addition to causing redirects, they are likely to deliver intrusive advertisements and gather information relating to browsing activity.

Potentially unwanted applications continually open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users to fortorsarrabse[.]info. Once visited, this website immediately determines the user's geolocation by checking the IP address. This is to ascertain whether users should be presented with specific content or redirected even further.

Note that fortorsarrabse[.]info sometimes does both. In any case, users might encounter infectious content. Therefore, redirects to and from fortorsarrabse[.]info can lead to system infections. As mentioned above, unwanted applications also deliver intrusive advertisements. Banners, pop-ups, and coupons are just some examples of ads delivered by these programs.

They can also redirect to malicious websites and execute scripts designed to download/install other unwanted/malicious apps. Therefore, clicking them can also result in various system infections. Intrusive advertisements are usually 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. Potentially unwanted applications often gather IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, and other information relating to the browsing experience.

Collected data often includes personal details that developers share with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who generate revenue by misusing private information. Therefore, having data-tracking applications installed on your computer can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft.

We strongly recommend that you uninstall all potentially unwanted applications immediately.

There are dozens of rogue apps online, all of which are very similar. By offering "useful features", potentially unwanted applications attempt to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install. PUAs are designed only to generate revenue for the developers.

Therefore, rather than enabling the functions promised, these apps cause unwanted redirects, gather information, and deliver intrusive advertisements.

How did adware install on my computer?

As mentioned, many PUAs infiltrate computers without users' consent. Developers proliferate them using the aforementioned intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" (stealth installation of third party apps together with regular software). Developers know that many users often rush download/installation processes and skip steps.

Therefore, "bundled" apps are intentionally hidden behind "Custom/Advanced" settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes. Users who carelessly click advertisements and rush download/installation processes often install rogue apps inadvertently.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To prevent this situation, be very cautious when browsing the internet and downloading/installing software. Carefully analyze each download/installation step using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings. Opt-out of additionally-included programs and decline offers to download/install them.

Software should be downloaded from official sources only, using direct download links, since third party download/installation tools often "bundle" rogue apps. Intrusive advertisements usually seem legitimate, since developers invest many resources into their design, however, these ads typically redirect to gambling, adult dating, pornography, and other similar sites.

If you experience these ads/redirects, eliminate all dubious applications and browser plug-ins. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
