Prevent redirects to best2019-games-web1.com

What is best2019-games-web1[.]com?

best2019-games-web1[.]com is one of many websites that should be avoided. If visited, websites such as this open untrustworthy, potentially malicious web pages or display dubious content. Some examples of other similar sites are piedppienews[.]com, newsapp[.]biz, and trementrecially[.]pro.

Browsers usually open these web addresses due to potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on the system. Therefore, people do not generally visit best2019-games-web1[.]com (or other pages of this kind) intentionally. Furthermore, few people download or install PUAs intentionally.

In most cases, these apps cause redirects to dubious web pages, display ads, and gather various data.

PUAs force browsers to open sites such as best2019-games-web1[.]com in new windows or tabs. Once opened, they redirect users to other (about two or three) rogue web pages or display dubious content. At the time of research, best2019-games-web1[.]com displayed adult content, but its actions depend on the user's geolocation.

In any case, neither best2019-games-web1[.]com nor web pages opened through it are trustworthy. Note that best2019-games-web1[.]com is one of a number of websites designed to trick visitors into giving permission to show notifications. They attempt this using a 'clickbait' technique.

Typically, sites of this kind ask to verify age, prove that the visitor is not a robot, and so on. When a certain button is clicked, a web page receives permission to display notifications, ads, and other unwanted, possibly deceptive content. Furthermore, installed PUAs not only cause unwanted redirects, but also display ads and gather data.

Commonly targeted information is related to users' browsing habits (geolocations, IP addresses, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites, and so on). PUAs are sometimes also designed to gather sensitive information. Users are often served with intrusive ads such as pop-up ads, banners, various coupons, banners, etc.

In most cases, people who click them are redirected to rogue websites. Nevertheless, some of these ads might run scripts that download and/or install unwanted software. Installed PUAs can cause problems relating to browsing safety, online privacy, or even lead to identity theft.

This is since developers often share recorded information with other parties (potentially cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue.

PUAs are advertised as useful and legitimate programs, however, most are designed only to help developers to generate revenue by feeding users with unwanted ads, forcing them to visit dubious sites, and gathering information. In summary, PUAs are useless and simply cause problems.

How did adware install on my computer?

People often download and install unwanted apps when software developers trick them using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". They include PUAs into the set-ups of other, usually free software. Information about additionally-included apps is usually hidden in settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", and so on.

Many people cause unwanted downloads/installations when they leave the settings unchanged, which then agrees to this by default. In other cases, unwanted downloads and installations are caused by clicking intrusive advertisements that are displayed on dubious web pages and run certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

All programs should be downloaded from official websites and using direct download links. Other sources or tools such as Peer-to-Peer networks (eMule, torrent clients, and so on), unofficial websites, third party downloaders, installers, etc., should not be trusted or used.

Check all settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", and so on, that are included in set-ups and then dismiss offers to download/install unwanted software before completing the process. Intrusive ads that are shown on dubious pages should not be trusted or clicked.

Typically, they lead to potentially malicious websites or run scripts that cause download/installation of unwanted applications. If the browser causes unwanted redirects or displays ads, there is a strong possibility that an unwanted app is installed on it. In this case, remove all unwanted, unknown apps (add-ons, extensions, plug-ins) immediately.

This should also be applied to programs of this kind installed on the computer (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.
