Eliminate redirects to and from the finderient.com website

What is finderient[.]com?

Similar to streamnotify.net, mvideo.pro, sinentoldrewhap.pro, and many others, finderient[.]com is a rogue website designed to feed visitors with various dubious content and redirect them to other dubious websites.

Research shows that users typically visit finderient[.]com inadvertently - potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) and intrusive advertisements redirect them to these sites. PUAs commonly infiltrate computers without users' consent. As well as redirects to websites such as finderient[.]com, PUAs deliver intrusive advertisements and record information relating to browsing activity.

Potentially unwanted applications open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users to finderient[.]com. This site then displays dubious content and/or redirects users to other dubious websites - these actions depend on the visitor's geolocation, which is determined by checking the IP address. Users might thus encounter malicious content.

Therefore, visiting finderient[.]com can lead to various computer infections. Note that clicking intrusive ads can also cause these problems. PUAs generate coupons, banners, pop-ups, and other similar advertisements that typically redirect to dubious websites and sometimes even execute scripts that download/install other potentially unwanted/malicious applications.

Therefore, even a single accidental click might result in high-risk computer infections. Intrusive ads are usually delivered via tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, they often conceal underlying content, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience.

PUAs are also known to record information relating to browsing habits. Collected data (IP addresses, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, etc.) is likely to contain personal details that developers share with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

These people misuse private information to generate revenue. Therefore, information tracking can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to uninstall all potentially unwanted applications immediately.

The internet is full of unwanted applications that share many similarities . By offering many "useful functions", PUAs attempt (and often succeed) to attempt to give the impression of legitimacy/usefulness and to trick users to install. In fact, however, few of PUAs provide functionality promised.

These applications usually have only one purpose: to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than giving any value for regular users, unwanted applications cause redirects, gather information, and deliver advertisements.

How did adware install on my computer?

In some cases, PUAs are free for anyone to download at their official websites, however, most are proliferated using intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" (stealth installation of third party applications with regular software).

Developers hide "bundled" apps within various sections (e.g., "Custom" or "Advanced" settings) of the download/installation processes. Therefore, users who carelessly skip download/installation steps and click advertisements often end up installing rogue applications inadvertently.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

The main reasons for computer infections are poor knowledge of these threats and careless behavior. The key to safety is caution. Therefore, pay close attention during the download/installation processes and when browsing in general. Study each window of the download/installation dialogs using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings.

Opt-out of all additionally-included programs and decline offers to download/install them. You are advised to download apps from official sources only, preferably using direct download links. Third party downloaders/installers often include rogue applications, and thus you should not use these tools.

Intrusive advertisements usually seem legitimate, as developers invest many resources into their design, however, most redirect to dubious websites, such as gambling, pornography, adult dating, and similar. If you encounter these ads/redirects frequently, remove all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
