How to stop browsers from causing redirects to free-girls-vids.com

What is free-girls-vids[.]com?

free-girls-vids[.]com is a dubious website, which is usually opened by browsers that have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on them. This web page redirects visitors to other untrustworthy sites or loads dubious content. It is very similar to horny-vid[.]com, rex-news1[.]club, pushpush[.]net and many other web pages.

Generally, people download and install apps that open these sites unintentionally. When installed, they usually gather information relating to users' browsing activities and/or display intrusive advertisements.

When a PUA opens free-girls-vids[.]com, the site displays dubious content or redirects visitors to a number of other (about two or three) untrustworthy, potentially malicious websites. The actions of free-girls-vids[.]com depends on the geolocations of visitor. Additionally, it asks permission to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique.

It states that visitors should click the "Allow" button so that they can play a video. Clicking it gives free-girls-vids[.]com permission to show various notifications, unwanted ads, and so on. We advise against allowing pages such as free-girls-vids[.]com to show notifications.

Furthermore, it is very likely that installed PUAs might be designed to gather information. For example, IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites, and other browsing data. Some could be designed to collect private, sensitive information.

The developers sell the details to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse them to generate revenue. PUAs are often designed to feed users with intrusive, deceptive, unwanted ads that are usually displayed in the form of coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, etc.

Generally, these lead to potentially malicious web pages or run scripts that download or install unwanted software. Therefore, all PUAs should be uninstalled immediately, since they can cause problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, and so on. Some people who have PUAs installed on their systems might have their identities stolen.

Most PUAs cause redirects to untrustworthy websites, serve advertisements and gather data. They are advertised as useful, legitimate, etc., however, most deliver no valid features or other any value - they are designed only to help the developers to generate revenue.

How did adware install on my computer?

In some cases, PUAs can be downloaded from their download web pages, however, people also download and install them inadvertently. Typically, these apps are installed through deceptive ads that run certain scripts, or together with other software that people wish to download from the internet willingly.

To trick people into unwanted downloads/installations through other programs, developers include them into the download and/or installation set-ups.

They present included apps as additional offers, which can be found in settings of set-ups such as "Custom", "Advanced, and so on. Many people download and install software without checking these settings, thus enabling PUAs to be downloaded and/or installed.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

All programs should be downloaded from official web pages and via direct download links. Other sources, tools such as Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., eMule, torrent clients), unofficial websites, third party downloaders, installers, etc., should not be used.

Check all settings such as "Custom", "Advanced" of the download and installation set-ups - decline offers to download/install unwanted software before completing the process. Do not click intrusive ads displayed on dubious sites. They can lead to untrustworthy websites or run scripts that cause download/installation of unwanted programs.

If the browser opens dubious web pages or displays various ads, there is a high possibility that an unwanted app is already installed on it. If this is the case, remove all unwanted, unknown apps (add-ons, extensions or plug-ins) installed on the browser immediately.

This should also be applied 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.
