Terminate browser redirects to and from dredrewlaha.info

What is dredrewlaha[.]info?

dredrewlaha[.]info is a rogue website designed to redirect users to other untrustworthy and malicious sites, as well as feed them with dubious content. The website shares many similarities with lesindingretne.info, dancewithlittleredpony.com, clckworld.club and many other rogue sites.

User do not generally access dredrewlaha[.]info intentionally - they are redirected to it by other compromised sites through intrusive ads or PUAs (potentially unwanted applications). PUAs often infiltrate users' devices without permission, cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisements, and monitor and gather information relating to users' browsing activity.

Potentially unwanted applications promote dredrewlaha[.]info by force-opening it in a new browser tab/window, however, visitors also access this rogue site when they are redirected to it through intrusive ads. The course of action is determined by the user's geolocation obtained from the IP (Internet Protocol) address.

Depending on the victim's geolocation, it either redirects them to other dubious or malicious sites and/or begins the process of delivering untrustworthy or even hazardous content. This website can pose a threat to users' privacy, identity, and computer safety.

The dredrewlaha[.]info site uses browser notifications, which if permitted, deliver intrusive advertisements. These are a threat and can redirect users to compromised and malicious sites, and even execute scripts that can download/install unwanted applications without users' consent.

PUAs utilize a broad assortment of tools, which enable placement of third party graphic content on any site. This allows PUAs to deliver relentless intrusive ad campaigns. The ads diminish the browsing experience and conceal underlying content.

PUAs also perform data tracking (information of interest includes, but is not limited to, IP addresses, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries).

By monitoring browsing activity, unwanted applications can gain access to users' personal information. The data is then passed to third parties and misused in various ways. PUAs threaten users' computers, personal privacy, and can even lead to identity theft. If PUAs are detected on your device, remove them immediately.

There are many PUAs that employ clever tactics to invade users' systems. Explicit permission is not necessary for these applications to download/install onto devices.

They proliferate via intrusive advertisements and installation packages. "Bundling" is a false marketing method employed by PUA designers to further their malicious products - by "bundling" regular software with unwanted applications, they can trick inexperienced users into installing PUAs.

Note that PUAs are used only to generate revenue for the developers. Rather delivering the advertised features, they cause redirects, deliver intrusive ad campaigns, and gather information.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most PUA infiltration occurs through installation packs/bundles together with regular software. In some instances, it is possible to avoid unwanted applications by opting-out of installing additional apps or features and declining offers to download them, however, due to haste and distractedness of ill-informed users - PUAs can slip in during the installation process.

Opt-outs and declining options are often hidden within the "Custom/Advanced" settings, noticeable only when directly explored. Simply put, user inattentiveness can expose their systems to various infections and put their very privacy at risk. Aforementioned intrusive ads are also used to promote such rogue programs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Using official and verified sources for all software downloading is highly recommended, ideally via direct download links. Third party downloaders are more likely to "bundle" regular programs with PUAs. Careful exploration of terms, options and "Custom/Advanced" settings when installing - is strongly advised.

Overall diligence when installing software is fundamental in ensuring user safety. The same extends to user browsing habits; refraining from clicking dubious advertisements, avoiding accessing suspicious sites and etc.

It must be mentioned that intrusive ads frequently appear legitimate and harmless, but a telltale sign of their illegitimacy can often be revealed by the websites they redirect to (pornographic, adult dating, gambling and similarly untrustworthy sites). When encountered, users should inspect their device and remove any suspect applications and browser extensions immediately.

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