Stop redirects to and from mirox25.biz

What is mirox25[.]biz?

Mirox25[.]biz is a rogue website. Since such deceptive sites are a widespread phenomenon, they are quite similar in-between. The mirox25[.]biz is akin to celeb-secret.live, mega-deals.mobi, onlinecontent.fun and thousands of others. They are designed to feed users unreliable content (e.g. clickbait) and/or redirect them to other likewise harmful webpages.

It is worthy of noting, that few users ever enter this site willingly. It gets most of its visitors through redirects caused by intrusive ads (usually located within compromised websites) or by having it force-opened by PUAs (potentially unwanted application). It is pertinent to mention, that said apps do not need express user permission to invade their devices.

Once successfully within systems, they generate redirects to sale-oriented, untrustworthy and even malicious sites, deliver invasive advertisement campaigns and some can track data.

The first thing mirox25[.]biz does is check visitor's IP (Internet Protocol) address in order to learn their geolocation. This information is crucial in determining its further behavior. According to their geolocation, it either redirects users elsewhere and/or presents them with questionable content.

This rogue website's misuse of browser notifications is also noteworthy. It hides the consent option beneath clickbait ("Press 'Allow' to verify, that you are not [a] robot"). If allowed, the site begins delivering invasive advertisement campaigns.

These adverts are deemed a safety hazard, as they redirect to various unreliable and/or malicious pages, and some can execute scripts to make unauthorized downloads/installs of PUAs. As stated in the introduction, these apps are capable of generating redirects and running ad campaigns.

By employing a wide variety of tools they enable third party graphical content; thereby delivering adverts, which seriously diminish browsing quality. Such intrusive ads can limit browsing speed and cover visited site content. Additionally, some undesired applications have data tracking abilities.

By monitoring users' browsing habits (URLs visited, pages viewed, search engine history and etc.), they can gather their personal information (IP address, geolocation and real-life personal details). It is vital to understand, that this info is then sold to third parties and can potentially be used for criminal purposes.

Therefore, presence of data tracking content on users' devices can seriously endanger their privacy, even result in identity theft. To ensure browser and system integrity, and user safety - all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be removed without delay.

PUAs are innumerous and many share certain similarities. Developers of these malignant apps invest time and effort into making their product appear legitimate, and they are often successful in their attempts. They also lure users into downloading/installing these rogue applications by offering various "useful" abilities/features.

However, it is crucial to understand, that PUAs serve but one goal, that is to generate profit for their designers. To users these apps are utterly worthless. PUAs cause redirects, deliver invasive advertisement campaigns (banners, pop-ups, coupons, surveys, etc.) and gather sensitive data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed by invasive advertisements. By clicking on these ads (which often appear legitimate and innocuous), they can be triggered to execute scripts, designed to make rogue downloads/installs of undesirable content. Another mode of PUA proliferation are installation pack/bundles.

"Bundling" is a deceptive marketing technique, describing the tactic of pre-packing ordinary software with unwanted apps.

By rushing through download/installation setups, users endanger their devices with possible invasions and infections. Therefore, users should not ignore terms, skip steps or use pre-set options, when installing programs. It is also pertinent to mention, that some PUAs have "official" websites, from which they can be downloaded.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Users should use caution when browsing and avoid suspicious websites and adverts. Due to the ordinary appearance of many intrusive ads, it is easy to click on them by mistake. However, these advertisements tend to redirect to more obviously unreliable sites (e.g. gambling, adult-dating, pornography and similar).

It is highly recommended to use only official and trustworthy download sources. Using third party downloaders is against advisement, as such sources are more likely to contain bundled content. When installing, users should pay attention to terms and possible options.

Additionally, they are advised to use "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out from all supplementary offers. Should users encounter questionable ads and/or experience undesired redirects, it is recommended that they inspect their devices. Any dubious applications and/or browser extensions/plug-ins found - must be removed 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.
