Stop redirects to and from loading-wsite.com

What is loading-wsite[.]com?

loading-wsite[.]com is a rogue site sharing similarities with private-show.live, bestflowingstuff.co, 1backlinks.com, and many others. It presents visitors with dubious content and generate redirects to other, untrustworthy and malicious web pages.

Few visitors to these websites enter them willingly - most are redirected by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already installed on the device. Note that these apps do not need express permission to infiltrate systems. Furthermore, PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns, and track data.

Firstly, loading-wsite[.]com checks visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to learn their geolocations. This is crucial in determining the site's further course of action. According to their geolocations, users are redirected elsewhere and/or fed dubious material.

Furthermore, this site uses browser notifications and hides the consent option to them beneath 'clickbait' ("Click 'Allow' To Continue", implying that visitors need to do this to access the website). If tricked into allowing these notifications, loading-wsite[.]com initiates intrusive advertisement campaigns.

The delivered ads (pop-ups, banners, coupons, surveys, etc.) are more than just a nuisance, they are also a threat to device safety and health. They can redirect users to sale-oriented, untrustworthy, compromised, deceptive/scam and malicious web pages.

Additionally, some can execute scripts to stealthily download/install unwanted content (e.g. PUAs). As mentioned, unwanted applications generate redirects to likewise dangerous sites and run intrusive advertisement campaigns.

By implementing various tools, PUAs enable third party graphical content to be displayed on any site, thereby, delivering ads that significantly diminish the browsing experience by limiting browsing speed and page visibility. Regardless of their other functions, most PUAs have data tracking capabilities.

They monitor browsing activity (URLs visited, search queries typed, etc.) and gather users' personal information (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). This private data can end up being shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) seeking to misuse it for financial gain.

In summary, PUAs can cause browser/system infiltration and infections, lead to financial loss, serious privacy issues and even identify theft. Therefore, remove suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs generally appear legitimate and useful. People are often tempted to download/install them, as they offer a broad array of features. The advertised functions can range from browsing tools/search enhancers to content providers (e.g. weather forecasts, news, TV, movies, music, etc.).

PUAs offer many features, but these rarely work as promised and, in most cases, are nonoperational. The only purpose of these unwanted applications is to generate revenue for the developers, whilst regular users receive no value. PUAs force-open untrustworthy/malicious sites, run intrusive ad campaigns, and collect vulnerable data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs commonly infiltrate devices via the download/install set-ups of other software. "Bundling" is the term used to describe this deceptive marketing method of pre-packing normal programs with unwanted or malicious content.

Rushing download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps, etc.) increases the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled applications onto systems. Some of these apps also have "official" download web pages. When clicked, intrusive ads can be triggered to execute scripts that download/install PUAs without users' permission.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Research all content, prior to downloading/installing. Use only official and verified download channels. P2P sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), unofficial and free file-hosting websites, third party downloaders and similar sources are untrustworthy and should be avoided.

When downloading/installing, read the terms, study all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of additional apps, tools, functions, etc. Intrusive advertisements usually seem legitimate, however, once clicked, they redirect to dubious web pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating and so on).

If you experience these ads/redirects, check the system and immediately remove all dubious 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.
