How to remove apps that open web pages such as lodder1.biz

What is lodder1[.]biz?

lodder1[.]biz is the address of a rogue website that, once visited, opens a number of other untrustworthy web pages or loads dubious content. There are many websites such as lodder1[.]biz on the internet. Some examples are worldmylife[.]info, balanceformoon[.]com and mediazone[.]mobi.

They are commonly opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on the browser or operating system. These apps usually gather browsing data and/or display intrusive advertisements.

In most cases, PUAs force browsers to open sites such as lodder1[.]biz in a new browser window or tab. When visited, they redirect people to two or three other dubious websites or load unwanted content. The way they operate depends on visitors' geolocations.

Typically, websites such as lodder1[.]biz open sites that contain deceptive advertisements, promote untrustworthy software, and so on. Note that lodder1[.]biz attempts to trick visitors into allowing it to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique. It encourages visitors to prove that they are not robots by clicking the "Allow" button.

If clicked, this allows lodder1[.]biz to show notifications. Typically, these sites display notifications that contain links to other untrustworthy pages, deceptive advertisements, and so on. Most PUAs force users to visit rogue websites, collect information relating to their browsing activity and/or serve advertisements.

Typically, PUAs record IP addresses, websites of visited pages, entered search queries, geolocations, etc. They might also collect private, sensitive information. Developers sell the information to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue.

PUAs also feed users with coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups and other forms of advertisement. When clicked, these ads usually lead to untrustworthy websites. In some cases, they run scripts designed to download or even install unwanted, potentially malicious applications.

In summary, PUAs can be the reason behind identity theft, problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, and so on. Therefore, uninstall all PUAs immediately.

Many PUAs are advertised as legitimate, useful and supposedly provide various features, however, few operate as promised. They deliver no real value, are designed only to generate revenue for the developers and simply put users at risk of various issues.

How did adware install on my computer?

People usually cause download/installation of PUAs by clicking deceptive ads that run certain scripts and when they are included into the download/installation set-ups of other (mainly free) programs. PUAs are commonly included into the set-ups of other programs and presented as additional offers.

This distribution method of potentially unwanted software is called "bundling" and is used to trick people into downloading and/or installing PUAs together with programs that they wish to download/install intentionally.

In most cases, information about included apps is provided in "Advanced", "Custom" and other similar parts of the set-up, however, people often leave these settings unchanged. In doing so, they give permission for PUAs to be downloaded and/or installed through the set-ups of programs that are used to distribute them.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

All programs and files should be downloaded from official pages and through direct links. Third party downloaders/installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule), unofficial websites, etc., should not be used to download or install software.

Check settings of download and installation set-ups ("Advanced", "Custom") for offers to download or install additional, unwanted apps. Dismiss any such offers before completing downloads and installations. Do not click advertisements that are displayed on dubious websites, since they often open untrustworthy web pages or cause download/installation of unwanted applications.

These ads can are sometimes also displayed on legitimate pages. Remove any suspicious, unwanted plug-ins, add-ons or extensions already installed on the browser immediately. The same should 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.

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.
