Remove browser redirects to the geting[.]pro website

What is geting[.]pro?

geting[.]pro is yet another rogue site that shares many similarities with newsfrog.me, bodlift.com, markably.info, and many others. This website redirects users to other untrustworthy sites and displays dubious content.

Most users arrive at geting[.]pro inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements displayed on other rogue sites. Research shows that most PUAs infiltrate computers without users' consent. As well as causing redirects, they generate intrusive advertisements and track browsing activity.

Potentially unwanted applications continually open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users to geting[.]pro, which then displays certain content or redirects users elsewhere (or both) - these actions depend on the visitor's geolocation, which is determined by checking the IP address. In any case, users might be presented with malicious content.

Thus, visiting geting[.]pro can lead to system infections. PUAs also deliver intrusive advertisements such as banners, pop-ups, coupons, and similar. They often redirect to dubious websites (gambling, adult dating, pornography, etc.) and, in some cases, run scripts designed to download/install other unwanted, malicious apps.

Therefore, clicking intrusive advertisements might also result in system infections. They are delivered using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site and often conceal underlying content, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience.

Another important issue is information tracking. Potentially unwanted applications monitor browsing activity by gathering IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other similar data.

This data is shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who generate revenue by misusing private data. Therefore, data tracking can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft.

The internet is full of potentially unwanted applications that share many similarities. By offering "useful functionality", PUAs attempt to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install, however, they deliver no real value for regular users.

Most have just one purpose: to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than enabling the functions promised, they cause redirects, deliver advertisements, and gather data.

How did adware install on my computer?

Potentially unwanted applications usually infiltrate computers 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" applications behind "Custom/Advanced" settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes.

Furthermore, many users often rush these procedures and skip steps. Additionally, they click various advertisements without understanding the possible consequences. This behavior often lead to inadvertent installation of potentially unwanted applications. The main reasons for computer infections are poor knowledge of these threats and careless behavior.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To prevent this situation, be very careful when browsing the Internet and downloading/installing software. Bear in mind that developers invest many resources into intrusive ad design, thereby making them seem legitimate. Once clicked, however, they redirect to dubious websites (gambling, adult dating, pornography, and similar).

If you see these ads frequently, uninstall all suspicious browser extensions and applications. Additionally, carefully study each step of the download/installation processes using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings. Opt-out of additionally-included programs and decline offers to download/install them.

Download apps from official sources only, preferably using direct download links. Third party downloaders/installers often include rogue apps, and thus these tools should not be used. The key to computer safety is caution. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
