Get rid of redirects to/from cohecenhetert.pro

What is cohecenhetert[.]pro?

Like many others, cohecenhetert[.]pro is a rogue site. It is designed to force-feed users dubious content and generate redirects to untrustworthy, even malicious websites. Most visitors to cohecenhetert[.]pro, access it unintentionally. Typically, users get redirected by intrusive advertisements or PUAs (potentially unwanted applications).

It is worthy of noting, that these undesirable apps do not need express user permission to be installed onto their devices. Once successfully infiltrated, PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns and some can even track data.

Cohecenhetert[.]pro is dependent on visitor's geolocation, which determines the website's course of action. It learns this data by checking user's IP (Internet Protocol) address. Depending on the geolocation, cohecenhetert[.]pro either redirects users elsewhere and/or presets them with questionable content.

Regardless, of this site's exact actions, visitors to it are bound to encounter malignant material; therefore, visiting cohecenhetert[.]pro is strongly advised against. It is also worth mentioning, that this webpage uses browser notifications.

The consent option to them is hidden beneath clickbait (e.g. "Press 'Allow' to continue", "Click here to verify, that you are not a robot", "Tap 'Allow' to view viral videos/images/content" and so on), which tricks users into allowing the notifications. Once consented to, cohecenhetert[.]pro begins delivering invasive advert campaigns.

These ads cause redirects to various compromised and malicious sites, and some can even execute scripts to stealthily download/install PUAs. As mentioned in the introduction, unwanted applications also generate redirects and deliver intrusive advertisements.

By using a variety of tools, said apps enable third party graphical content. Hence, the adverts they deliver can seriously diminish the browsing experience (limit browsing speed and overlay webpage content). Another notorious ability that PUAs possess is data tracking.

They monitor users' browsing and search engine histories; gather IP addresses, geolocations and personal details. This sensitive information is then sold to third parties (possibly, cyber criminals), seeking to misuse it for financial gain. Therefore, presence of data tracking applications can lead to serious privacy issues, even identity theft.

To ensure device and user safety, it is highly recommended to remove all suspicious apps and/or browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

There are thousands of rogue websites out there and they operate in a similar fashion. For example, joophesh.com, telecomer.live, newsredir.com are very similar to cohecenhetert[.]pro. PUAs, which redirect to such sites, are likewise released by the thousand.

They usually offer some sort of "useful" and "advantageous" features, thereby creating the illusion of legitimacy. However, the only purpose of these unwanted apps is to generate revenue for their developers, therefore the features they advertise are rarely functional.

Instead, PUAs cause redirects to various untrustworthy and malicious webpages, run intrusive advertisement campaigns and gather private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most PUAs are distributed using a false marketing tactic called "bundling". This term describes the method of packing ordinary programs together with undesirable content.

The presence of the unwanted applications (or how they will operate) is buried within download/installation terms; while opt-out/decline options are hidden behind "Custom/Advanced" settings and other similar sections. Therefore, users who rush through these processes, endanger their systems with potential system invasions and infections.

Invasive advertisements also proliferate PUAs. They can execute scripts, designed to autonomously download/install rogue apps.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is highly recommended to use only official and verified channels for downloading software. It is ill-advised to use Peer-to-Peer sharing networks and other third party downloaders, as they are more likely to offer programs bundled with PUAs. When downloading/installing, users should read terms and explore possible options.

Additionally, "Custom/Advanced" settings should be used to opt-out from downloading/installing supplementary content. Users should refrain from clicking various ads when browsing. Intrusive advertisements often look legitimate and innocuous, however they redirect to untrustworthy websites (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating and similar).

If users encounter ads/redirect of this type, they should inspect their system and remove all suspicious applications and/or browser extensions/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.
