How to remove redirects to and from thediseasetracker.com

What is thediseasetracker[.]com?

thediseasetracker[.]com is a rogue web page similar to zpredir1.com, biz-4u.com, behavingsoping.club and thousands of others. It provides visitors with dubious content and/or redirects them to other untrusted or even malicious sites.

Typically, thediseasetracker[.]com and similar websites are accessed via redirects caused by intrusive advertisements and Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). These rogue apps do not need explicit user consent to be installed onto devices. PUAs cause redirects, deliver intrusive ad campaigns and collect browsing-related data.

The behavior of thediseasetracker[.]com is determined by visitors' geolocations. The page learns this information by checking their IP addresses. Depending on their geolocations, users are redirected elsewhere and/or presented with dubious material. Furthermore, thediseasetracker[.]com uses browser notifications.

If these notifications are enabled, the site starts running intrusive ad campaigns. The resultant advertisements are more than just a nuisance, they are also harmful. Once clicked, they redirect to sale-based, untrusted/rogue, deceptive, compromised, scam and malicious web pages.

Some intrusive ads can be triggered (when clicked) to execute scripts designed to download/install rogue software without users' permission. Prime examples of content infiltrated into systems in this manner are PUAs. These unwanted applications can have other capabilities, as well as causing redirects.

They can run intrusive advertisement campaigns, delivering ads that similarly diminish the browsing experience and possess identical capabilities. Furthermore, most PUAs can track data. They can record browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather personal information extracted from it (IP addresses, geolocations and other details).

This vulnerable data is often monetized by sharing with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) seeking to misuse it for profit.

To summarize, the presence of PUAs on devices can lead to system infections, financial loss, serious privacy issues and even identity theft. To ensure device integrity and user safety, remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

PUAs often seem legitimate and useful - users are enticed into download/installation with offers of "useful" features, however, the advertised functionalities are usually nonoperational. The only purpose of these apps is to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs force-open dubious and malicious sites, run intrusive ad campaigns and track private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

Some PUAs have "official" promotional pages from which they can be downloaded, however, these applications are more commonly downloaded/installed with other products. This deceptive marketing method of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling".

Rushing download/installation (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, etc.) increases the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled content into devices. Intrusive advertisements can infiltrate PUAs into systems as well. When clicked, they can execute scripts to make these stealthy downloads/installations.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

All products should be researched before download/installation. Use only official and verified download channels. Unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.) and other third party downloaders can offer deceptive and/or bundled content, and are hence untrusted.

When downloading/installing, it is important to read the terms, study all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of supplementary apps, tools, features and other additions. Intrusive ads may seem normal and innocuous, however, they can redirect to highly dubious web pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating and others).

If you encounter ads/redirects of this kind, inspect the system and immediately remove all suspicious 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.

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.
