Stop redirects to and from mayfootekvideo.com

What is mayfootekvideo[.]com?

Visitors to mayfootekvideo[.]com are presented with dubious content and/or are redirected to other untrustworthy, malicious web pages. This rogue website shares many similarities with androidrecaptcha.info, orbetterpositiesa.info, tatilyerlerim.com, and countess others.

Few users access this site intentionally - typically, they are redirected by intrusive advertisements or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). Note that these apps do not need explicit consent to be installed onto systems. Following successful infiltration, PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns and monitor users' browsing activity.

Once accessed, mayfootekvideo[.]com first checks visitors' IP addresses to learn their geolocations. According to this information, visitors are then redirected elsewhere or presented with dubious material. Additionally, this rogue web page employs browser notifications.

If they are enabled, mayfootekvideo[.]com begins delivering intrusive ad campaigns. These ads are more than just a nuisance, they are also a threat to device health and user safety. When clicked, they redirect to untrustworthy, compromised, deceptive/scam and malicious web pages.

Some can be triggered (by clicking them) to execute scripts designed to download/install PUAs without users' consent. Unwanted applications force-open similarly harmful sites and can run intrusive ad campaigns. They accomplish the latter by implementing various tools to enable third party graphical content to be displayed on any site.

The delivered ads (pop-ups, banners, coupons, surveys, etc.) significantly diminish the browsing experience, by limiting browsing speed and website visibility. The advertisements have the aforementioned capabilities and also carry associated risks. PUAs often track data.

They record users' browsing habits (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collect personal information (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). This vulnerable data can then be shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) intent on generating revenue by misusing it.

In summary, PUAs can lead to browser and system infiltration/infections, serious privacy issues, financial loss and even identity theft. To ensure device integrity and user safety, you are advised to remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs tend to seem legitimate and they lure users into downloading/installing them with a variety of functions promised. These features rarely work as advertised and, in most cases, are nonoperational. The only purpose of PUAs is to generate profit for the developers.

They are not designed for user convenience and have no real value to them. Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs cause redirects to dubious and malicious web pages, run intrusive ad campaigns and gather private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs most commonly proliferate though the download/install set-ups of other software. This deceptive marketing method of pre-packing regular products with unwanted or malicious content is called "bundling". By rushing through download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, using pre-set options, skipping steps and sections, etc.), users risk unintentionally allowing bundled programs onto their devices. Certain PUAs also have "official" download sites. Once clicked, intrusive ads can execute scripts designed to stealthily download/install PUAs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Research content, before downloading/installing. Use only official and verified download sources. Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), free file-hosting websites and other third party downloaders are classed as untrustworthy, and should not be used. Untrusted download channels are far more likely to offer deceptive and/or bundled programs.

When downloading/installing, read the terms, explore all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of supplementary apps, tools, features and so on. Intrusive ads usually seem legitimate and harmless, however, they can redirect to dubious pages (e.g. pornography, adult-dating, gambling, etc.).

If you encounter these advertisements/redirects, inspect the system and remove all suspect applications and/or browser extensions/plug-ins without delay. 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.
