Prevent redirects to and from exclusivenotifications.com

What is exclusivenotifications[.]com?

exclusivenotifications[.]com is virtually identical to likemyculture.info, dingboronhartal.pro, free-coupons.network, and dozens of other rogue sites. The purpose of this site is to feed users with dubious content and redirect them to other untrusted sites.

Research shows that users generally visit exclusivenotifications[.]com inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) already present on the system or intrusive ads encountered on other rogue sites.

PUAs typically infiltrate computers without users’ permission and, as well as causing redirects, deliver advertisements and record data relating to browsing activity.

PUAs force-open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users to exclusivenotifications[.]com, which then immediately determines the visitor's geolocation by checking the IP address. Note that exclusivenotifications[.]com does this to ascertain whether the user should be redirected further or presented with certain dubious content (or both).

Users might thus encounter malicious content (presented by exclusivenotifications[.]com and other sites). Therefore, redirects to and from exclusivenotifications[.]com can lead to various system infections. Intrusive ads are also known to redirect users to dubious sites. Some even run scripts that download/install unwanted applications.

Therefore, clicking them is risky and can result in various system infections. Intrusive ads are delivered using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site and often conceal underlying content, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience. PUAs also perform data tracking.

They record information such as IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other similar details relating to browsing activity. Collected data usually includes personal details that developers share with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

These people generate revenue by misusing private data in malicious ways. This behavior can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. We strongly recommend that you uninstall all potentially unwanted applications immediately.

The internet is full of PUAs, all of which share many similarities . They attempt to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install by offering "useful features". In fact, few of these applications provide the functions promised. Most deliver advertisements, gather information, and display intrusive advertisements.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs usually infiltrate computers without permission, since they are proliferated using intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" (stealth installation of third party applications together with regular software). Developers know that many users often rush these procedures and skip steps.

Therefore, they hide "bundled" applications behind various sections (such as "Custom" or "Advanced" settings) of these procedures. By clicking various advertisements, rushing, and skipping steps, many users expose their systems to the risk of various infections and compromise their privacy. This behavior often leads to inadvertent installation of third party applications.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Pay close attention during the download/installation processes and when browsing the internet to prevent infiltration of PUAs. Study each window of the download/installation dialogs using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings. Opt-out of additionally-included programs and decline offers to download/install them.

Avoid using third party downloaders/installers, since developers often monetize them by promoting ("bundling") PUAs. Download programs from official sources only, preferably using direct download links.

Developers invest many resources into intrusive ad design, thereby making them seem legitimate, however, these ads redirect to dubious websites (gambling, pornography, adult dating, and similar). If you encounter unwanted ads or redirects, 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.
