How to stop redirects to ewaglongoo.com
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is ewaglongoo[.]com?
The ewaglongoo[.]com website leads visitors to a variety of other untrustworthy sites including, for example, notification-list[.]com. Typically, the opened web pages contain dubious content or open further rogue pages. In any case, neither ewaglongoo[.]com, nor sites opened through it, can be trusted.
Most people arrive at these websites when they have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on their browsers. Typically, apps of this type open untrustworthy websites (including ewaglongoo[.]com and others), record browsing data, and display intrusive advertisements.

Typically, PUAs open sites such as ewaglongoo[.]com in a new browser window or tab. Once opened, they immediately redirect visitors to other (about two or three) dubious web pages. Alternatively, they might load dubious content. These actions usually depend on visitors' geolocations.
Furthermore, ewaglongoo[.]com is one of many pages that demand permission to show notifications. Do not grant such permissions, since websites of this type will then start to display notifications - these might contain ads designed to promote untrustworthy websites, software, and so on.
Apps that open websites such as ewaglongoo[.]com often collect browsing data such as IP addresses, geolocations, addresses of opened/visited websites, entered search queries, and other details of this kind. In some cases, PUAs record personal, sensitive details.
Furthermore, developers share the information with third parties who misuse it to generate revenue. These third parties could include cyber criminals. Additionally, many PUAs display ads. For example, coupons, banners, surveys, pop-up ads, etc. If clicked, these open dubious web pages or download/install unwanted, potentially malicious programs.

PUAs are promoted to offer various features, however, few operate as promised. They deliver no real value and are designed only to help developers to generate revenue.
People who use these apps, or simply have them installed, often experience problems relating to privacy and browsing safety. Some PUAs might be used to steal identities. In any case, you are advised to uninstall all PUAs immediately - never trust these apps.
How did adware install on my computer?
Most PUAs are downloaded and/or installed through other (usually free) software that people download and/or install intentionally. I.e., when they are included as additional offers in various download or installation set-ups. In most cases, information about these extra apps is placed in setup options such as "Custom", "Advanced", and so on.
People who fail to check and change these settings often allow PUAs to be download and/or installed with regular software. Unintentional downloads and installations can also be caused by clicking certain deceptive ads, which are capable of running scripts designed to download/install unwanted applications.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
Download software from official, trustworthy websites only. Do not download or install using third party downloaders, installers, Peer to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule, etc.), dubious websites or other similar sources/tools.
Check all download/installation set-ups, since they often contain settings such as "Advanced" and "Custom" - deselect offers to download or install unwanted, additionally-included applications. Do not click advertisements that are displayed on untrustworthy websites - they often redirect to other pages of this kind or download/install unwanted software.
If you believe that a PUA might already be installed, check the list of extensions, plug-ins and add-ons that are installed on the browser and remove unwanted, unknown entries immediately. The same applies to programs of this kind that are installed on 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.
