How to stop redirects to and from trendyarticle.com

What is trendyarticle[.]com?

trendyarticle[.]com is a rogue website, which is similar to newscoder7.com, twok.pro, restonovius.com and thousands of others. Visitors to this site are presented with dubious or harmful content, and they can also be redirected to other untrusted or malicious websites.

Few users enter trendyarticle[.]com intentionally, since most are redirected to it by intrusive advertisements or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already infiltrated into the system. These apps do not require express user permission to be installed onto their devices. PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns and gather browsing-related information.

The behavior of trendyarticle[.]com is determined by visitors' geolocations. This information is obtained by checking their IP addresses. Depending on this information, visitors are redirected elsewhere and/or presented with highly dubious material.

Furthermore, trendyarticle[.]com uses browser notifications, the consent option to which is disguised within 'clickbait' ("Loading / Please tap the Allow button to continue"). This implies that, to access the page, users must enable browser notifications. If tricked into doing so, trendyarticle[.]com then begins running intrusive ad campaigns.

The delivered ads significantly diminish the browsing experience, by limiting browsing speed and overlaying website content, however, they are far more than just a nuisance. When intrusive advertisements are clicked, they can redirect to sale-oriented, untrusted, rogue, compromised, deceptive/scam and malicious web pages.

Some of these ads can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' permission. Unwanted apps force-open likewise dangerous websites and can deliver intrusive ads, which have the aforementioned capabilities and pose the same threats. Most PUAs can track data.

They monitor users' browsing habits (URLs visited, search queries typed, etc.) and collect personal information (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). This vulnerable data is often shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) seeking to misuse it for financial gain.

In summary, PUAs can cause browser/system infiltration and infections, lead to serious privacy issues, financial loss and even identity theft. To ensure device and user safety, it is necessary to remove all dubious applications and/or browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

PUAs often seem legitimate and tempt users into downloading/installing them with a wide variety of "useful" functions, however, these features seldom work as promised and, in most cases, are nonoperational.

Their only purpose is to generate revenue for the developers at users' expense. PUAs operate by causing redirects, delivering intrusive ad campaigns and tracking private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs proliferate via download and installation set-ups. This deceptive marketing method of pre-packing normal programs with unwanted or malicious software is called "bundling". When downloading/installing, ignoring or skimming terms, skipping steps and sections, etc. increases the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content onto the device.

Some of these applications have "official" promotional web pages, from which they can be downloaded. Intrusive advertisements can also infiltrate PUAs into systems. Once clicked, the ads execute scripts to stealthily download/install PUAs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are advised to research all content to verify its legitimacy, prior to download/installation. Use only official and verified download channels. Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), free file-hosting websites and other third party downloaders are untrusted and should be avoided.

Treat download and installation processes with caution. Read the terms, explore all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of additional apps, tools, features, etc. Intrusive ads often seem legitimate, however, they cause redirects to dubious sites (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating and so on).

If you encounter these advertisements/redirects, inspect the system and immediately remove all suspect applications and/or browser extension/plug-ins. 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.
