Removal of redirects to tinhoranding[.]info
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is tinhoranding[.]info ?
People do not generally arrive at tinhoranding[.]info intentionally - this is a rogue site that causes redirects to other untrustworthy web pages or displays dubious content. Note that tinhoranding[.]info is similar to many other sites of this type including verytearfoilew[.]info, geting[.]pro, and newsfrog[.]me.
Generally, these websites are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). When installed, PUAs also display ads and collect data.
Typically, the installed PUA opens tinhoranding[.]info (or other websites of this type) in a new browser window or tab. This rogue web page then causes redirects to other untrustworthy sites (typically, about 2-3) or delivers dubious content. The way in which tinhoranding[.]info behaves depends on the visitor's location.
Another issue with these unwanted apps is intrusive advertisements: PUAs display pop-ups, coupons, banners, surveys, and other graphical content, which is placed in the foreground of the website. If clicked, these advertisements redirect to dubious, deceptive sites or execute scripts that download and install other unwanted (potentially malicious) software.
Furthermore, most PUAs collect data including IP addresses, URLs of visited sited, search queries, locations and other, personal information. Developers share the information with other parties who misuse it to generate revenue. The data might also be shared with cyber criminals.

PUAs might cause problems with browsing safety, online privacy, etc. Some people might even become victims of identity theft. Do not trust apps of this type, even if they are presented as legitimate. We strongly recommended that you uninstall all PUAs immediately.
How did adware install on my computer?
Typically, developers distribute PUAs using deception - they use a marketing method called "bundling". To trick people into downloading and installing PUAs with other, regular software, they bundle PUAs into the setup. Furthermore, they hide this information in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings/options.
Unintentional downloads and installations occur when people download and install programs without checking the setup and its options. Intrusive and deceptive ads can also cause unwanted installations/downloads if they are clicked.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Download and install software with care. Do not download/install using unofficial/untrustworthy websites, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule, etc., various third party downloaders/installers, or other dubious sources. The safest channels for software download are official sites and direct download links
. Additionally, check "Custom", "Advanced" settings of any download or installation setup and opt-out of potentially unwanted apps that are bundled into it. Note, intrusive ads should not be trusted, since most redirect to deceptive, dubious websites. In some cases, they also download and install PUAs.
If the browser opens these web pages or displays intrusive ads, uninstall all unwanted/unknown browser applications such as plug-ins, extensions, and add-ons.
The same applies to unwanted programs installed on the operating system (computer). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
