How to remove redirects to usecytonsmehers.info

What is usecytonsmehers[.]info?

The Internet is full of rogue websites similar to usecytonsmehers[.]info. Some other examples include verytearfoilew[.]info, geting[.]pro, and newsfrog[.]me. When opened, these web pages redirect people to other, potentially malicious websites or display dubious content.

Generally, people end up visiting these sites due to potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) installed on their operating systems or browsers. In other cases, usecytonsmehers[.]info and other sites of this type are opened when people click deceptive ads.

Typically, people download and install PUAs inadvertently. These apps serve users with intrusive ads and gather information about browsing habits.

The installed PUA opens usecytonsmehers[.]info in a new browser window or tab. This site then opens about two or three other rogue web pages or displays dubious content. Its actions depend on the user's geolocation. Note, rogue websites often open other potentially malicious websites.

As well as causing redirects to websites such as usecytonsmehers[.]info, PUAs also gather data. In most cases they record IP addresses, geolocations, URLs of visited websites, entered search queries, and so on. The installed PUA might also gather personal/sensitive details.

The people behind these apps (developers) share collected information with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. Furthermore, many PUAs feed users with ads such as coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, and others that, when clicked, usually open deceptive or untrustworthy web pages.

In some cases, these ads are capable or running scripts that download and install potentially unwanted/malicious apps. In summary, PUAs can cause a number of problems. For example, people who have them installed on their systems are likely to experience privacy/browsing safety problems or even become victims of identity theft.

PUAs are usually advertised as legitimate and useful tools that supposedly provide various features or some other value. In fact, they are just used to generate revenue for their developers and merely cause problems rather than operating as promised.

How did adware install on my computer?

Developers advertise PUAs on various websites, however, most people download and install them by clicking intrusive ads or when software developers use a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". This method is used to trick people into downloading/installing unwanted apps with other software.

To trick them, developers hide information about additionally-included/bundled apps in other software set-ups - in "Advanced", "Custom" and other similar settings.

Furthermore, many people click intrusive ads and download/install programs without checking the set-ups, including the available options/settings. These are the two main reasons for unintentional downloads and installations of potentially malicious and other unwanted apps.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Be cautious when browsing the web and downloading or installing software. Do not download software (especially if it is free) using unofficial websites, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule, or other dubious channels. The safest option is to use official, trustworthy websites and direct download links.

Check download and installation setup settings such as "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar parts for additionally-included/bundled apps. Do not click intrusive ads displayed on dubious sites - they can cause redirects to other dubious web pages or download/installation of PUAs.

If the default browser causes redirects to untrustworthy websites and these contain intrusive ads, check the list of installed browser apps. Remove any unwanted/unknown add-ons, plug-ins, or extensions. Also check programs of this kind installed on the computer (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.
