How to remove redirects to and from goodbase.biz

What is goodbase[.]biz?

goodbase[.]biz is a rogue website sharing many common traits with 1000-dollar.cash, thefastpush.com, place-web.com and thousands of others. Visitors to this site are presented with dubious content and redirected to untrusted or even malicious pages.

Websites such as goodbase[.]biz are usually opened unintentionally, since most visitors are redirected to them by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). Note that these apps do not need express permission to be installed onto systems. PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns and monitor browsing activity.

Once accessed, goodbase[.]biz first checks visitors' IP addresses to learn their geolocations, which is crucial in determining the site's further behavior. Whether users are redirected elsewhere or are presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, this web page employs 'clickbait' ("Click Allow to confirm that you are not a robot!") to trick visitors into allowing browser notifications. If these are enabled, goodbase[.]biz starts delivering various intrusive ads (e.g. pop-ups, banners, coupons, etc.).

The delivered ads diminish the browsing experience, as they limit browsing speed and overlay pages. Furthermore, when clicked, intrusive advertisements redirect to sale-based, untrusted/rogue, compromised, deceptive, scam and malicious websites. These ads can also execute scripts to stealthily download/install software (e.g. PUAs).

Unwanted applications generate redirects to similarly harmful web pages and can run intrusive ad campaigns. Regardless of their specific type, most PUAs can track data. They monitor browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather users' personal information (IP addresses, geolocations and other sensitive details).

This vulnerable data is often shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) intent on misusing it for profit. To summarize, the presence of PUAs on systems can cause infiltration and infections, lead to serious privacy issues, financial loss and even identity theft.

Therefore, to ensure device and user safety, remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs often seem legitimate and tempt users into download/installation with offers of "useful" functions. These features are seldom operational and even if they do work, it is not as advertised. The only purpose of these unwanted apps is generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs force-open untrusted and malicious sites, deliver intrusive ad campaigns and collect private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs. "Bundling" is the term used to define this deceptive marketing technique of pre-packing regular products with unwanted or malicious software.

By rushing through download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using pre-set options, etc.), many users risk inadvertently allow bundled content onto their systems. Some PUAs have "official" download pages. Once clicked, intrusive advertisements can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' permission.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

All products should be researched before download/installation or purchase. You are advised to use only official and verified download channels. Untrustworthy download sources such as free file-hosting websites, P2P sharing networks (BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule, etc.) and other third party downloaders can offer deceptive and bundled content.

Therefore, do not use these channels. When downloading/installing, it is important to read the terms, explore all available settings and opt-out of supplementary apps, tools, functions and other additions. Intrusive ads typically seem normal and innocuous, however, they can redirect to dubious web pages (e.g. pornography, adult-dating, gambling and others).

If you encounter these advertisements/redirects, inspect the system and immediately remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/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.
