How to stop redirects to the mirox22.biz website

What is mirox22[.]biz?

mirox22[.]biz is the address of a rogue web page which, once opened, redirects visitors to other untrustworthy websites or displays dubious content. Many other websites have similar operation to mirox22[.]biz including, for example, piedppienews[.]com, newsapp[.]biz, and trementrecially[.]pro.

In most cases, browsers open these websites due to potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) that are installed on them. Few people download or install these apps intentionally. In addition to forcing browsers to open dubious web pages, PUAs gather browsing related (and other details) and display intrusive ads.

Generally, browsers with PUAs installed open web pages such as mirox22[.]biz in new browser windows or tabs. When opened, mirox22[.]biz displays content (that should not be trusted) or redirects visitors to a number (about 2-3) of other untrustworthy websites.

The way in which mirox22[.]biz behaves depends on the visitor's geolocation. Additionally, it asks for permission to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique. It states that visitors should click the "Allow" button so that they can watch a video. If clicked, however, this allows mirox22[.]biz to show dubious notifications, unwanted ads, and so on.

We advise against allowing pages such as mirox22[.]biz to show notifications. Furthermore, installed PUAs can record various information including users' IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, URLs of visited websites, and so on. Some might also record sensitive information.

Developers send the details to other parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse them to generate revenue. PUAs often feed users with intrusive, deceptive and unwanted ads such as coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, etc. If clicked, they can lead to potentially malicious web pages or run scripts that download or install dubious software.

Therefore, remove all installed PUAs immediately. They might cause problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, and so on. It is also possible that people who have them installed on their systems might become victims of identity theft.

People who develop these apps usually advertise them as useful, legitimate, and so on.

They supposedly provide various features, however, when installed, PUAs deliver none of the functionality promised or any other value. Most are designed simply to help developers to generate revenue by causing redirects to dubious web pages, gathering information, and serving advertisements.

How did adware install on my computer?

Unwanted apps can sometimes be downloaded from their websites, however, most people download and install them unintentionally. This happens when people click intrusive advertisements or during download/installation of regular software, usually freeware.

To trick people into unwanted downloads/installations, developers use a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" - they include PUAs into the set-ups of software that people download or install intentionally. Information about the inclusion of these additional apps is usually hidden in "Custom", "Advanced", and other similar settings of the setup.

This method works with people who download and install software without checking the settings available and leave them unchanged.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Download software from reputable, official websites, and using direct download links. Do not use Peer-to-Peer networks (eMule, torrent clients), third party software downloaders, installers, unofficial websites, or other tools to download or install software.

Check all available settings such as "Advanced", "Custom", etc. that are included in set-ups and opt-out of offers to install/download unwanted programs. Do not trust or click intrusive ads, especially if they are displayed on dubious websites. These usually redirect to untrustworthy websites or cause unwanted downloads/installations.

If the browser opens dubious web pages and/or serves ads, check installed extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons on the browser and programs on the computer, and then remove all suspicious, unknown entries. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
