Stop redirects to and from soooners.biz

What is soooners[.]biz?

Similar to novideo.me, joophesh.com, joophesh.com, and thousands of others, soooners[.]biz is a rogue website. It cause redirects to other rogue/malicious sites and delivers dubious content. Few visitors access soooners[.]biz intentionally, since most are redirected to it by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs).

These apps do not need explicit user permission to infiltrate devices. Once successfully installed, they generate redirects, run ad campaigns, and track data relating to users' browsing activity.

soooners[.]biz firstly checks visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to learn their geolocations. This data is crucial in determining this website's further course of action. Depending on the geolocations, it redirects users elsewhere and/or presents them with dubious content.

Note that soooners[.]biz uses browser notifications and hides the consent option to them within 'clickbait' ("Press 'Allow' to verify, that you are not [a] robot"). If consent is given, soooners[.]biz delivers intrusive ads campaigns.

The resultant ads are a threat due to the untrustworthy/malicious web pages to which they redirect and for their ability to execute scripts designed to download/install PUAs without users' permission. As mentioned, these applications also cause redirects and run intrusive ad campaigns.

By implementing various tools, they enable third party graphical content to be displayed on any site, thereby delivering ads (pop-ups, banners, coupons, surveys, etc.), which can diminish the browsing experience (they limit browsing performance and web page visibility).

Furthermore, many PUAs have data tracking abilities. By monitoring browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search engine history, etc.), they collect personal information (IP addresses, geolocations, and other details). This vulnerable data is then passed on to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) intent on generating revenue by misusing it.

Therefore, PUAs can cause system infiltration and infections and lead to privacy issues (even identity theft). To ensure device integrity and user safety, remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins.

There are countless PUAs available. Most share certain similarities, and those released by the same developers tend to be identical. PUAs may seem legitimate and often lure users to install by offering "useful" and "beneficial" features. In fact, the features are generally nonoperational.

The only purpose of this unwanted software/content is to generate profit for the designers. Regular users receive no genuine value. PUAs simply cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and track sensitive data.

How did adware install on my computer?

When clicked, intrusive ads can execute scripts to stealthily download/install PUAs, however, these applications can also be allowed onto devices by users inadvertently. Some unwanted apps have "official" download web pages on which they are typically endorsed as "free" and "useful" software.

Additionally, PUAs proliferate via the download/install set-ups of other programs. This deceptive marketing method of pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious content is called "bundling". Rushing download/installation processes (ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using pre-sets, etc.) increases the risk of system infiltration and infections.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Research software/content to verify its legitimacy, before downloading/installing. Only official and verified download channels should be used. Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), free file-hosting websites, third party downloaders and similar sources are untrustworthy and should not be used.

Treat all download/installation processes with caution. Read the terms, study possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and decline offers to download/install additional apps, tools, features, etc. Intrusive advertisements usually seem normal and innocuous, however, they often redirect to gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and similar dubious web pages.

If you experience these ads/redirects, inspect the system and immediately remove all suspect 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.
