Remove redirects to and from the denzzzelwashington.com website

What is denzzzelwashington[.]com?
denzzzelwashington[.]com is a deceptive website that shares similarities with freshaudio.net, streamnotify.net, mediafresh.online, and many others. When opened, this site delivers dubious content and/or redirects users elsewhere.
Many people visit denzzzelwashington[.]com inadvertently - they are redirected by intrusive advertisements displayed on other rogue sites or potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), which typically infiltrate computers without users’ permission. In addition to causing redirects, PUAs deploy advertisements and gather data.
After successful infiltration, PUAs start to force-open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users to denzzzelwashington[.]com, which immediately determines the visitors' geographic locations by checking the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
This is done to ascertain whether users should be redirected even further or presented with certain content (or both). In any case, users might encounter malicious content (whether provided by denzzzelwashington[.]com or otherwise). Therefore, redirects to and from this site can lead to various system infections.
Note that some intrusive advertisements also redirect users to malicious websites or run scripts that download/install other unwanted applications. PUAs deliver ads using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, the ads often conceal underlying content, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience.
Another important issue is information tracking. PUAs often record IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other similar information relating to browsing activity.
The information usually includes personal details that are shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse private data to generate revenue. Therefore, the presence of a data-tracking application on your system might lead to serious privacy issues, including identity theft.

The internet is full of PUAs that share many similarities. By offering "useful features", unwanted applications attempt to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install.
In fact, PUAs have just one purpose: to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than giving any value for regular users, they cause redirects, deliver advertisements, and gather information, thereby diminishing the browsing experience and posing a threat to your privacy and computer safety.
How did adware install on my computer?
Some PUAs have official download websites, however, most are proliferated using intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called "bundling", which is essentially stealth installation of third party applications together with regular software. Developers know that users often rush download/installation processes and skip steps.
Therefore, they hide "bundled" applications behind "Custom/Advanced" options or other sections of the download/installation processes. Furthermore, many users often click advertisements and skip download/installation steps, thereby leading to inadvertent installation of unwanted applications.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
The main reasons for computer infections are poor knowledge of these threats and careless behavior. Caution is the key to safety. Therefore, pay attention when browsing the Internet and downloading/installing software. Study each download/installation step using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings.
Decline offers to download/install additional programs and opt-out of those already included. Avoid using third party downloaders/installers, since they often include rogue apps (criminals monetize these tools using the "bundling" method). Software should be downloaded from official sources only, preferably using direct download links.
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, such as gambling, adult dating, pornography, and similar.
If you encounter these ads/redirects frequently, check the list of installed applications/browser plug-ins and remove all suspicious entries. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
