Stop redirects to terrout[.]biz

What is terrout[.]biz?

terrout[.]biz operates in a similar manner to many other websites of this type such as novideo[.]me, lurunews[.]biz, and highertpushs[.]com. When opened, it causes redirects to other rogue websites or displays dubious, possibly deceptive content.

In any case, few people visit sites such as terrout[.]biz intentionally - most end up visiting them due to potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on their browsers. Apps of this type usually cause unwanted redirects, serve intrusive ads, and/or collect various data. People often install PUAs unintentionally.

Installed PUAs open terrout[.]biz in a new browser window or tab. It then causes redirects to two or three potentially malicious websites, or it displays  deceptive or untrustworthy content. The way it behaves depends on the visitor's geolocation. Like most web pages of this type, terrout[.]biz employs the 'clickbait' technique to trick visitors into allowing it to show notifications.

In this particular case, it encourages people to click the "Allow" button so that they can watch a video. If clicked, it allows terrout[.]biz to show unwanted ads and other unwanted content. Furthermore, PUAs often gather various information that includes mostly browsing-related data.

For example, IP addresses, entered search queries, URLs of visited websites, geolocations, and other similar details. PUAs might also record sensitive, personal details. People who develop these apps share the data with other parties (potentially cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue.

PUAs feed users with unwanted pop-up ads, coupons, banners, surveys, and so on. When clicked, these ads cause redirects to untrustworthy websites or execute scripts that download or install potentially malicious apps. These ads can be annoying, since they conceal underlying content of visited websites.

The easiest way to avoid problems (unwanted downloads/installations, redirects to dubious pages, problems with browsing safety, privacy, etc.) is to remove all PUAs immediately.

Typically, PUAs are promoted as legitimate and useful applications that supposedly provide various features, and so on. In fact, few of these apps operate as promised.

They simply cause unwanted redirects, gather data, and feed users with unwanted ads. Apps of this type should never be downloaded or installed. If PUAs are already installed on your system, remove them immediately.

How did adware install on my computer?

Generally, people download or install PUAs by clicking ads that are capable of running certain scripts, or together with other software. To trick people into downloading and installing PUAs within other programs, developers use "bundling" - they include these apps in the set-ups of regular software.

Typically, these additional apps are mentioned in settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", and other similar parts of the set-ups, however, some people fail to check and change these settings. This allows PUAs to be downloaded and/or installed.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

The safest software download sources are official websites. Other channels/tools such as third party software downloaders, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule, various dubious, unofficial websites, etc. can be used to distribute unwanted software. Do not trust third party installers.

Check all software set-ups that contain "Custom", "Advanced, and other similar settings. Dismiss any offers to download or install unwanted apps. Do not click intrusive advertisements, especially if they are displayed on dubious websites. These often cause redirects to potentially malicious web pages.

In some cases, they can lead to unwanted downloads/installations. Unwanted redirects and advertisements can be stopped by removing unwanted apps (extensions, plug-ins, add-ons) from the browser and unwanted programs from the operating system.

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

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
