How to remove browser redirects to and from the mvideo.pro website

What is mvideo[.]pro?

Similar to checking-in-progress.com, seceno.com, bikereddint.info and many others, mvideo[.]pro is yet another rogue website designed to feed users with dubious content and redirect them to other potentially malicious sites.

Most users arrive at mvideo[.]pro inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements displayed on other rogue sites. Be aware that PUAs typically infiltrate computers without permission and, as well as causing redirects, deliver intrusive advertisements and record information relating to browsing activity.

PUAs open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users to mvideo[.]pro, which then delivers certain dubious content or redirects users elsewhere - everything depends on the visitor's geolocation, which is determined by checking the IP address. PUAs also deliver intrusive advertisements, such as coupons, banners, pop-ups, and similar.

These typically redirect to rogue websites and might even execute scripts designed to download/install other unwanted applications. Thus, even a single accidental click can result in various system infections. Be aware that intrusive advertisements 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. Additionally, PUAs often gather IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other similar data relating to browsing activity.

Collected data typically includes personal details that developers share with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who generate revenue by misusing private information. Therefore, data tracking can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to eliminate all potentially unwanted applications immediately.

There are thousands of unwanted applications, all of which share many similarities. By offering many "useful features", these applications attempt to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install. In fact, they have just one purpose: to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than giving any real value for regular users, PUAs cause redirects, gather information, and deliver intrusive advertisements.

How did adware install on my computer?

Some PUAs have official download websites, however, most are distributed using intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" - stealth installation of third party applications together with regular software.

Developers hide "bundled" programs behind "Custom/Advanced" settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes. Furthermore, many users are likely to click advertisements and skip download/installation steps. This behavior often leads to inadvertent installation of third party applications.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To prevent this situation, be very cautious when browsing the Internet and downloading and installing software. Intrusive advertisements usually seem legitimate, since developers invest many resources into their design, however, most redirect to dubious websites, such as gambling, adult dating, pornography, and similar.

If you encounter these ads/redirects, remove all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins immediately. Furthermore, study each window of the download/installation dialogs using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings. Opt-out of all additionally-included applications and decline offers to download/install them.

Download your programs from official sources only, using direct download links. Third party downloaders/installers often include rogue apps and, therefore, 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.
