How to avoid redirects to and from shireamentsp.info

What is shireamentsp[.]info?

shireamentsp[.]info is an untrustworthy website, which contains dubious content. People generally visit this site when are redirected by other, similar web pages. Examples of other sites similar to shireamentsp[.]info include notify-system[.]com, mediasvideo[.]live, and notification-list[.]com.

Few people visit these websites intentionally - they are forced by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on the browser and/or operating system. PUAs can redirect users to dubious websites, record browsing-related (and other) data, and display intrusive advertisements.

When a PUA is installed, it opens web addresses such as shireamentsp[.]info in a new browser window or tab. After visiting the site, people are forced to visit even more (2-3) untrustworthy, potentially malicious websites. Rather than opening dubious websites, these sites might alternatively display dubious content.

This depends on the visitor's geolocation. Note that shireamentsp[.]info encourages visitors to start a download process by clicking the "Allow" button. In this way, shireamentsp[.]info asks permission to show notifications. Like most websites of this kind, it attempts to trick people into giving permission to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique.

In other cases, these sites asks users to verify their age, prove that they are not robots, and so on. If allowed, websites such as this feed users with unwanted notifications that are often used to promote other dubious websites, apps, etc. Do not allow shireamentsp[.]info or other similar pages to show notifications.

Furthermore, installed PUAs feed users with intrusive advertisements. For example, coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups ads, and so on. If clicked, these redirect people to dubious websites or execute scripts that download and/or install unwanted applications that might be malicious.

When installed, these apps can gather data relating to users' browsing habits such as IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, URLs of visited websites, entered search queries, geolocations, and so on.

They can sometimes also collect personal data. Furthermore, developers share the information with third parties (often, criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. In summary, installed PUAs can cause problems relating to browsing safety, online privacy, or even identity theft.

Most PUAs are designed only to help developers and other parties to generate revenue. These apps provide no genuine features, tools or other useful functionality.

In summary, people who have PUAs installed on their browsers and/or computers might experience issues with privacy, browsing safety or even have their identities stolen. To avoid these problems, uninstall all PUAs immediately.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are often downloaded and/or installed together with other, usually free software. To trick people into installing and/or downloading PUAs with other software, developers use a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". They include potentially unwanted apps into the set-ups of software that people usually download (and/or install) intentionally.

They hide offers to download/install unwanted apps in set-up settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", or other similar settings. If installation/download processes are completed without checking/changing the aforementioned settings, unwanted apps often receive permission to be downloaded and installed.

In other cases, people cause this situation inadvertently by clicking intrusive, deceptive advertisements that run scripts that download/install unwanted, possibly malicious software.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Download software only from official websites. Avoid using third party software downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule, unofficial websites, and so on. Download and install software properly. Note that set-ups often contain settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", etc. that include offers to download or install additional software.

Dismiss these offers before completing the download or installation process. Avoid clicking intrusive advertisements, especially if they are displayed on untrustworthy websites. They usually cause redirects to potentially malicious websites or even download/installation of unwanted apps.

Uninstall all unwanted, suspicious apps (extensions, plug-ins, add-ons) from the browser and programs from the operating system immediately. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
