How to remove redirects to and from lastmedias.biz

What is lastmedias[.]biz website?

lastmedias[.]biz is an untrusted site designed to present visitors with dubious content and/or redirect them to other rogue or malicious web pages. Getfile765.site, bot-checker.com, and suftoajachi.com are some examples of other websites similar to lastmedias[.]biz.

Most users access these sites unintentionally - they are redirected by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). This software does not need explicit user permission to be installed onto systems. PUAs operate by causing redirects, running intrusive ad campaigns and collecting browsing-related information.

When lastmedias[.]biz is accessed, it first checks visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to learn their geolocations. This information determines the website's further course of action. I.e., whether users are redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, lastmedias[.]biz uses deceptive tactics to trick users into allowing browser notifications ("Press 'Allow' to verify, that you are not [a] robot"). Should the notifications be enabled, the site starts running intrusive advertisement campaigns. As well as being a nuisance, these ads are also a threat to device/user safety.

When clicked, intrusive ads can redirect to various untrusted/malicious web pages and some can stealthily download/install rogue software (e.g. PUAs). These unwanted apps have varied capabilities in different combinations. PUAs can force-open dangerous web pages and/or deliver intrusive ad campaigns.

As mentioned, most PUAs can track data. They record browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, etc.) and collect personal information extracted from it (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). This sensitive data is then shared with and/or sold to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals), likewise seeking to misuse it for profit.

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

PUAs typically seem legitimate and harmless, and users are enticed into download/installation with a broad range of "useful" functionality, however, the advertised features are seldom operational. The only purpose of this unwanted software is to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns and gather private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are proliferated via the download/installation set-ups of other programs. This deceptive marketing technique of pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling".

Rushing download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using "Easy/Express" settings, etc.) increases the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled content into the device. Some PUAs have "official" download web pages. Intrusive ads can infiltrate these apps into systems as well.

Once clicked, the advertisements can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' consent.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are strongly advised to research all software before download/installation and/or purchase. All downloads must be done from official and verified sources. Untrusted download channels such as unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks and other third party downloaders can offer deceptive and bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is important to read the terms, explore all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of supplementary apps, tools, features, and so on. Intrusive ads may seem legitimate and harmless, however, they can redirect to highly dubious sites (e.g. gambling, adult-dating, pornography, etc.).

If you encounter these ads or redirects, inspect the system and remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately. 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.
