Remove redirects to and from the forryortitwas.info website

What is forryortitwas[.]info?

forryortitwas[.]info is yet another rogue website that shares similarities with edchargina.pro, pushsroutg.com, and dozens of other deceptive sites. The purpose of forryortitwas[.]info is to feed visitors with dubious content and redirect them to rogue websites.

Research shows that users typically visit forryortitwas[.]info inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements delivered by other rogue sites. PUAs infiltrate computers without permission, cause unwanted redirects, deliver intrusive advertisements, and record information relating to browsing activity.

Following successful infiltration, PUAs start force-opening new browser tabs and windows, and redirecting users to forryortitwas[.]info, which then immediately determines the visitor's geolocation by checking the IP address - this is to determine whether the user should be redirected to another dubious website or presented with certain content (or both).

In any case, users might end up encountering malicious content. Therefore, redirects to and from forryortitwas[.]info can lead to various system infections. As mentioned, PUAs are also designed to generate intrusive advertisements (coupons, banners, pop-ups, and similar).

These are likely to redirect to dubious websites and execute scripts that download/install unwanted applications. Thus, even a single accidental click can result in computer infections. Intrusive ads are delivered using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site.

Therefore, they are likely to conceal underlying content, significantly diminishing the browsing experience. PUAs are also notorious for data tracking. They usually gather IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, etc. Collected data usually includes personal details that developers share with third parties.

These people (potentially, cyber criminals) misuse private information to generate even more revenue. Therefore, information tracking can lead to serious privacy issues, including theft of identity. We strongly recommend that you eliminate all PUAs immediately.

There are dozens of PUAs, all of which are virtually identical. Most offer "useful features", however, few of these applications provide the functionality promised. PUAs usually 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.

How did adware install on my computer?

Some PUAs have official download/promotion websites, however, most are distributed using intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". Therefore, they often infiltrate computers without users' consent. The idea behind "bundling" is to proliferate rogue/unwanted applications with regular (typically free) software.

Developers are aware that many users often rush and skip download/installation steps. Therefore, they hide "bundled" apps behind various sections (such as "Custom" or "Advanced" settings) of these procedures. Furthermore, by carelessly rushing and skipping steps, many users expose their systems to risk of various infections.

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 during the download/installation processes.

Remember that developers invest many resources into intrusive ad design, however, these ads often redirect to dubious websites (gambling, pornography, adult dating, and similar). If you experience these redirects, remove all suspicious browser add-ons and apps immediately.

Most third party downloaders/installers are monetized by promoting ("bundling") rogue apps. Therefore, using these tools is risky. We recommend that you download apps from official sources only, preferably using direct download links.

When downloading/installing, carefully study each step and decline offers to download/install additional programs. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
