Stop redirects to and from veletonjectof.pro
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is veletonjectof[.]pro?
veletonjectof[.]pro is a rogue website designed to present visitors with dubious content and generate redirects to rogue and malicious sites. It shares many similarities with lurunews.biz, anwap-download.club, mirox22.biz, and countless other sites.
Few users access this web page intentionally - most are redirected by intrusive advertisements or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already present on the device. Note that these apps do not need explicit permission to infiltrate systems. PUAs simply cause redirects, deliver ad campaigns, and track data.

The geolocation is key to determining the course of action that veletonjectof[.]pro takes. It learns this information by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. According to the geolocations, it redirects users elsewhere and/or delivers dubious content.
This website also misuses browser notifications - it states that notifications need to be enabled to start downloading content. If consent is granted, veletonjectof[.]pro begins delivering ad campaigns. The intrusive ads that this site delivers are classed as a threat to device/user safety.
They redirect to sale-based, untrustworthy, compromised, deceptive and malicious web pages. Additionally, they can be triggered to execute scripts designed to stealthily download/install PUAs. As mentioned, unwanted applications generate redirects to likewise harmful websites and run intrusive ad campaigns.
By employing a wide array of tools, they enable third party graphical content to be displayed on any site. This severely diminishes the browsing experience (limiting browsing speed and page visibility). Some PUAs can also track data.
They monitor browsing habits (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather personal information (IP addresses, geolocations, and other details). This sensitive data can then be shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) intent on misusing it to generate revenue.
In summary, PUAs can cause browser and system infiltration/infections, and lead to serious privacy issues, financial loss and even identity theft. To protect devices from these risks, remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

Most PUAs share common traits. They often seem legitimate and lure users to install by offering "useful" and "beneficial" functions/features, however, these features rarely work as advertised and often are nonoperational. The only purpose of these dangerous products is to generate revenue for the developers.
Regular users receive no value. PUAs operate by causing redirects, running intrusive ad campaigns (pop-ups, surveys, banners, coupons, etc.) and gathering private data.
How did adware install on my computer?
Some PUAs have "official" download web pages from which they are promoted as "free" and "useful" software, however, they can also be installed together regular content.. This false marketing tactic of pre-packing normal programs with unwanted or malicious apps is called "bundling".
Rushing download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, using pre-set options, skipping steps and sections, etc.) increases the risk of potential system infiltration and infections. Intrusive ads also proliferate PUAs. Once clicked, they can execute scripts to 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. Do not use P2P sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), unofficial and free file-hosting websites, third party downloaders, or similar channels - as they are untrusted and more likely to offer deceptive and bundled software.
Treat download and installation processes with caution. Read the terms, explore all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out of downloading/installing additional apps, tools, features, etc. Intrusive ads typically seem normal and harmless, however, they can redirect to dubious sites (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).
If you encounter ads/redirect of this kind, inspect the system and 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.

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.
