How to prevent redirects to and from bestdealfor21.life
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is the bestdealfor21[.]life site?
bestdealfor21[.]life is a rogue website. Visitors to it are presented with dubious content and/or are redirected to other untrusted/malicious sites. Users seldom access bestdealfor21[.]life or similar web pages intentionally - they are redirected to them by intrusive advertisement campaigns or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs).
There are thousands of similar rogue sites on the web including, for example, esmo.pro, mediamodern.biz, and sombes.com.
bestdealfor21[.]life first checks victims' IP addresses to learn their geolocations. This information is key in determining the website's further course of action. I.e., whether visitors are redirected elsewhere or are presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations.
Note that bestdealfor21[.]life also uses deceptive tactics to trick users into enabling browser notifications. If these notifications are enabled, the web page starts running intrusive advertisement campaigns. Once clicked, these ads redirect to various untrusted/rogue, deceptive/scam, compromised and malicious websites.
Some of these ads can even be triggered to execute scripts designed to download/install software without users' permission. A prime example of content infiltrated into devices in this manner are PUAs. These unwanted applications can force-open dangerous sites and/or run intrusive ad campaigns.
Most PUAs have data tracking capabilities, regardless of their other functionalities. They can monitor browsing history (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather vulnerable information derived from it (IP addresses, geolocations and other details).
The collected data is likely to contain personally identifiable information, which is typically shared with and/or sold to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals). To ensure device integrity and user safety, you are strongly advised to eliminate all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins.

PUAs often seem legitimate and useful. These applications tend to offer a wide variety of functionalities. Despite how good these offers may sound, the advertised features are rarely operational - the only purpose of PUAs is to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than delivering any real value, they run intrusive advertisement campaigns and collect sensitive information.
How did adware install on my computer?
Some PUAs have "official" promotional web pages, from which they can be downloaded. Intrusive ads proliferate these applications as well. When clicked, they can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' consent, however, the most common distribution technique of such apps is via the download/installation set-ups of other programs.
This deceptive marketing method of pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling". Rushing download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps, using pre-set options, etc.) endangers devices with infection from inadvertent installation of bundled content.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
You are advised to research all products before download/installation. Use only official and verified download channels. Untrusted sources such as unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.) and other third party downloaders commonly offer deceptive and bundled content, and should thus be avoided.
Download and installation processes must be approached with caution. Read the terms, explore all possible options, use the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings, and opt-out of supplementary apps, tools, functions and other additions. It is also important to exercise caution when browsing.
Intrusive advertisements may seem legitimate and innocuous, however, once clicked, they can redirect to various dubious web pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating and others). If you encounter ads/redirects of this type, 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.
