Stop redirects to and from eadingenered.pro

What is eadingenered[.]pro?
eadingenered[.]pro is one of many rogue websites online. These sites tend to share similarities. For example, actraffic.info, vimlo.pro, and sauwoaptain.com are all of the same type. The primary purpose of these web pages is to present visitors with untrustworthy, possibly harmful content, and generate redirects to dubious and malicious websites.
Few users access eadingenered[.]pro intentionally - most are redirected by intrusive advertisements or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already present within the system. Apps within the this classification do not require explicit user permission to infiltrate devices.
PUAs force-open untrustworthy/malicious web pages, run intrusive ad campaigns, and track browsing-related information.
The geolocation is key to determining the actions of eadingenered[.]pro - information it learns by checking the visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Depending on their geolocations, users are redirected elsewhere or presented with dubious content.
This site also employs browser notifications. It tricks users into granting consent to these by claiming that they need to be enabled for the download process to begin. If consent to notifications is granted, eadingenered[.]pro starts running intrusive ad campaigns (e.g. deploying pop-ups, banners, coupons, surveys, and so on).
Ads of this type are more than just an annoyance, they are a safety threat due to the dangerous web pages to which they redirect and for their ability to stealthily download/install PUAs. As well as generating redirects, PUAs can deliver intrusive ads and pose a number of risks.
PUAs deliver ads by using various tools to enable third party graphical content to be displayed on any site. This significantly diminishes the browsing experience - limiting browsing speed and overlaying web pages. Most PUAs possess data tracking abilities, with information of interest being URLs visited, search queries typed, IP addresses, geolocations, and other details.
This vulnerable data can then be shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) seeking to misuse it for financial gain.
Therefore, PUAs can not only cause browser and system infiltration/infections, but also lead to serious privacy issues, financial loss, and identity theft. To ensure device integrity and user safety, remove all suspicious applications and/or browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

PUAs often seem legitimate. They entice users into downloading/installing them with offers of "useful" functions and features, however, all of their supposed capabilities are usually nonoperational. The only purpose of all unwanted content is to generate revenue for the developers, whilst regular users receive no genuine value.
Rather than working as advertised, unwanted apps cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns, and collect private data.
How did adware install on my computer?
Some PUAs have "official" web pages from which they can typically be downloaded "free of charge", however, they can also be downloaded/installed together with other programs. This deceptive marketing method of pre-packing regular programs with unwanted or outright malicious content is called "bundling".
By rushing through download/installation processes (e.g. skimming or ignoring terms, using pre-set options, etc.), users endanger devices with potential system infiltration and infections. Once clicked, intrusive ads can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' permission.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
Desired content should be researched to verify its legitimacy, before downloading/installing. Use only official and verified download sources, as opposed to untrustworthy channels (such as Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, free file-hosting sites and other third party downloaders).
When downloading/installing, read the terms, study all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out of additional apps, tools, features and so on. Intrusive advertisements often seem normal, however, when clicked, they can redirect to dubious web pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).
If you encounter ads/redirects of this type, inspect the system and immediately 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.
