How to prevent and stop redirects to clicktube7.com

What is clicktube7[.]com?

clicktube7[.]com is a rogue website that is very similar to many other websites of this type, such as orbetterpositiesa[.]info, nlighttomayorw[.]info, new-incoming[.]email, and so on. When opened, it displays dubious content or causes redirects to other dubious websites.

In any case, few people visit clicktube7[.]com intentionally - redirects to untrustworthy websites are usually due to potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on browsers. Most apps of this type also deliver intrusive ads and record browsing-related data.

PUAs regularly open websites such as clicktube7[.]com in new browser windows or tabs. When visited, clicktube7[.]com loads dubious content or redirects visitors to two or three other untrustworthy websites that might be malicious and designed to advertise dubious software.

Its actions depend on the geolocation of the visitor. In any case, neither clicktube7[.]com nor pages that it opens can be trusted. This website should not be allowed to show notifications, since it uses a 'clickbait' technique to trick visitors into giving such permissions.

In this case, clicktube7[.]com encourages visitors to prove that they are not robots - supposedly by clicking the "Allow" button. If clicked, however, this allows clicktube7[.]com to display notifications, ads, and other dubious content. Furthermore, most apps that open sites such as clicktube7[.]com function as information tracking tools.

Typically, they collect information such as IP addresses, entered search queries, geolocations, addresses of visited websites, and other browsing data. In some cases, they record personal/sensitive data. Furthermore, developers sell the data to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue.

These actions can cause problems with online privacy, browsing safety, some users might even become victims of identity theft. Additionally, PUAs often serve intrusive ads in the form of coupons, pop-ups, surveys, banners and others.

They conceal underlying content of visited websites and, if clicked, these ads usually open untrustworthy/malicious websites, or execute scripts that download or install unwanted software. Therefore, never trust PUAs - if there are any PUAs installed on the operating system or browser, remove them immediately.

There are many PUAs online. They are supposedly useful, deliver various features, and so on, however, most do not operate as promised and are designed only to generate revenue for the developers by displaying ads, causing redirects and collecting data.

How did adware install on my computer?

Generally, people download and install PUAs inadvertently. Unwanted downloads/installations usually happen through clicked deceptive advertisements or when software developers proliferate them using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling", which is used to trick people to download and install PUAs together with other, regular software.

In most cases, offers to download or install these unwanted apps are hidden in "Custom", "Advanced" or other similar options of the download/installation set-ups. Note that these unwanted downloads and installations occur only when users leave the settings unchecked and unchanged.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

To prevent unwanted apps from being downloaded and installed, download software only from official, trustworthy websites. Avoid other channels and tools such as Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule and so on), unofficial web pages, third party downloaders, installers, etc.

Check all settings ("Custom", "Advanced") of any download or installation setup, declining offers to download or install additional software. We also advise against trusting or clicking intrusive advertisements, especially those displayed on dubious websites - they can open untrustworthy websites or even cause unwanted downloads and installations.

If there is reason to believe that a PUA is already installed, check for any unwanted, unknown apps (extensions, add-ons and plug-ins) installed on the browser, and programs of this kind on the operating system. Remove/uninstall unwanted entries 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.

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.
