How to stop redirects to and from thenickelpress.com

What is thenickelpress[.]com?

Sharing many similarities with behavingsoping.club, superinterestinginfo.info, redbearmobilecuisine.com and thousands of others, thenickelpress[.]com is a rogue website. Visitors to this site are presented with dubious content and/or are redirected to other untrusted or malicious web pages.

Most users enter these sites unintentionally - they are redirected by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already infiltrated into the system. These apps do not require express user permission to be installed onto devices. PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns and track browsing-related information.

Once accessed, thenickelpress[.]com first checks visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to learn their geolocations. This information is key in determining the website's further behavior. Depending on their geolocations, users are redirected elsewhere and/or presented with dubious material.

Furthermore, thenickelpress[.]com uses browser notifications. If these are enabled, the site begins delivering intrusive ad campaigns. As well as being a nuisance, these ads are harmful and, when clicked, redirect to sale-oriented, untrusted/rogue, deceptive, scam, compromised and malicious web pages.

Some ads can be triggered (when clicked) to execute scripts designed to stealthily download/install rogue software (e.g. PUAs). These unwanted applications can force-open likewise dangerous sites and run intrusive ad campaigns. Furthermore, most PUAs have data tracking capabilities, which are employed to record users' browsing activity.

Information of interest includes URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, IP addresses, geolocations and other details. This data often contains personally identifiable information, which is typically monetized by sharing with third parties seeking to misuse it for profit.

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

PUAs usually seem legitimate and harmless, offering a wide variety "useful" functionalities, however, the features promised are seldom operational. The only purpose of PUAs is to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than delivering any real value, they force-open untrusted and malicious web pages, run intrusive advertisement campaigns and collect private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

Some PUAs have "official" promotional pages from which they can be downloaded, however, these apps are more commonly downloaded/installed with other products. "Bundling" is the term used to define this deceptive marketing technique of packing normal software with unwanted or malicious additions.

While it is often possible to opt-out of bundled content, by rushing through download and installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using presets, etc.), many users risk missing these options and information concerning dubious behavior. Intrusive ads proliferate PUAs as well.

Once clicked, they can execute scripts to make stealthy downloads/installations.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are strongly advised to research all software before download/installation or purchase. All downloads must be done from official and verified sources. Unofficial and free file-hosting (freeware) websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.) and other third party downloaders are untrusted, since they offer deceptive and bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is important to read the terms, study all possible options, use the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings and opt-out of additional apps, tools, features, etc. You are advised to exercise caution when browsing.

Intrusive advertisements may seem normal, however, they can redirect to dubious sites (e.g. pornography, gambling, adult-dating and others). If you encounter ads/redirects of this kind, inspect the system and immediately eliminate 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.
