Avoid being forced to visit homededruju.com

Also Known As: homededruju.com pop-up
Damage level: Medium

What is homededruju[.]com?

homededruju[.]com is similar to other rogue websites including hernclinicsfun[.]info, eadingenered[.]pro, actraffic[.]info, and many more. Typically, these sites display dubious content or redirect visitors to other untrustworthy websites.

Few people arrive at these sites intentionally - in most cases, they are opened by browsers that have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on them. PUAs open addresses of dubious web pages, collect browsing-related data, and deploy intrusive advertisements.

homededruju[.]com pop-up redirects

PUAs open websites such as homededruju[.]com in new browser windows or tabs. They display dubious content or lead visitors to about two or three other untrustworthy websites. The way the web pages behave depends on the visitor's geolocation. In any case, web pages such as homededruju[.]com and sites opened through them cannot be trusted.

They often demand permission to show notifications using various 'clickbait' techniques. In the case of homededruju[.]com, it encourages visitors to click the "Allow" button to prove that they are not robots. If clicked, homededruju[.]com receives permission to show notifications (various ads and other dubious content).

We strongly advise against allowing websites such as homededruju[.]com to show notifications. Furthermore, most PUAs deliver coupons, banners, pop-up ads and other intrusive advertisements. Generally, these ads conceal underlying content of visited websites.

Furthermore, if clicked, they redirect people to untrustworthy (or even malicious websites) or execute scripts that download and/or install unwanted software. PUAs are often used by developers to collect IP addresses, search queries, URLs of visited websites and other browsing-related data.

They share the data with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. Having PUAs installed can thus cause problems with privacy and browsing safety. The collected data might be used to steal users' identities. To avoid these issues, uninstall all PUAs immediately and do not use apps of this type in future.

PUAs are advertised as useful apps by the developers, however, they do not operate as advertised and are designed only to generate revenue. People who use PUAs and have them installed risk serious problems. Therefore, never trust or use software of this type.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are often downloaded and/or installed when people download and install regular programs without checking settings available in the set-ups. Developers include unwanted apps into the download/installation set-ups and present them as additional offers.

They do not disclose related information and hide it in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings. Unwanted downloads and installations happen when people leave these settings unchecked and unchanged. Furthermore, PUAs can be downloaded and installed through deceptive ads - if clicked, they run certain scripts that cause the extra downloads/installs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

All software and files should be downloaded from official websites (and using direct download links). Avoid other sources such as Peer-to-Peer networks (eMule, torrent clients and so on), unofficial pages, various third party downloaders, etc. The same applies to third party installers.

If a download or installation setup includes settings such as "Advanced", "Manual, "Custom", check them carefully and decline offers to download or install unwanted software. Do not trust intrusive ads that are displayed on dubious web pages, since they usually open rogue sites or run scripts that cause download and installation of unwanted applications.

If your browser causes unwanted redirects and/or displays ads, check for any unwanted apps installed. Remove unwanted, suspicious or unknown extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins immediately. Software of this type should also be removed from the operating system.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

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.
