Stop redirects to and from push-tools-system.com

What is push-tools-system[.]com?

Similar to best2019-games-web1.com, piedppienews.com, trementrecially.pro, and many others, push-tools-system[.]com is a rogue website. It operates by delivering dubious content and generating redirects to other untrustworthy and malicious websites.

Few visitors access push-tools-system[.]com intentionally - most are redirected by clicking intrusive advertisements or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already present on the system. Note that these apps do not need express permission to infiltrate devices. Once installed, PUAs cause redirects, run ad campaigns, and track data.

The geolocation is key to determining the actions of push-tools-system[.]com. It learns this information by checking visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. According to the geolocations, the web page redirects users elsewhere and/or presents them with dubious content.

Furthermore, this site misuses browser notifications. If consent is given to notifications, push-tools-system[.]com delivers intrusive ad campaigns. The ads are more than just a nuisance, they are also a safety threat. When clicked they generate redirects to sale-oriented, untrustworthy, compromised, scam and malicious web pages.

Some can download/install PUAs without users' permission. PUAs also cause redirects to similarly dangerous websites and run intrusive ad campaigns. By implementing various tools, they enable third party graphical content to be displayed on any site, thereby delivering ads, which significantly diminish the browsing experience (limiting browsing speed and web page visibility).

Some PUAs can track data. They record browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collect personal information (IP addresses, geolocations, and other details). This private data is then shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) intent on misusing it for financial gain.

Therefore, PUAs can cause browser and system infiltration/infections and lead to serious privacy issues, financial loss, and even identity theft. To ensure device and user safety, remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs are released by the thousand, however, most of these apps share certain traits. They often seem legitimate and tempt users to install by offering "useful" features.

These rarely work as advertised and, in most cases, are nonoperational. The only purpose of all unwanted software/content is to generate revenue for the developers, whilst regular users receive no genuine value. PUAs simply cause redirects, run ad campaigns (pop-ups, surveys, banners, coupons, etc.), and gather vulnerable data.

How did adware install on my computer?

Some PUAs have "official" download websites, however, they also proliferate through download/installation set-ups of other programs. This deceptive marketing method of pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious content is called "bundling".

Rushing download/install processes (e.g. skipping steps, using pre-set options, etc.) endangers devices with potential system infiltration and infections. Intrusive ads are also known to proliferate PUAs. Once clicked, they stealthily download/install these applications.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

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

Untrusted download sources are more likely to offer unwanted/malicious software or bundled content. Download and installation processes should be treated with caution. Read the terms, explore all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out of downloading/installing supplementary apps, tools, features, etc.

Usually, hosted by compromised sites, intrusive advertisements may not seem suspicious, however, they can generate redirects to dubious web pages, such as gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and others.

If you experience ads/redirects of this type, inspect the device and remove all suspect applications and/or browser extensions/plug-ins without delay. 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.
