How to stop redirects to and from wapwon-k.uno

What is the wapwon-k[.]uno website?

wapwon-k[.]uno is a rogue site sharing many similarities with allwownewz.com, urgent-incoming.email, withoughzp.club and thousands of others. Visitors to this website are presented with dubious content and/or are redirected to other untrusted/malicious pages.

Few users access wapwon-k[.]uno or similar sites intentionally - most are redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or by Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs). This software does not need express user permission to be installed onto systems. PUAs operate by causing redirects, running intrusive ad campaigns and collect browsing-related data.

Once accessed, wapwon-k[.]uno first checks visitors' IP addresses to learn their geolocations. This information determines the web page's further course of action. To elaborate, whether users are redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations.

Additionally, wapwon-k[.]uno urges users to allow browsing notifications. Should notifications be enabled, the site begins running intrusive advertisement campaigns. As well as diminishing the browsing experience, these ads are dangerous. When clicked, they can redirect to dubious/malicious websites and some can even stealthily download/install rogue software.

PUAs are a prime example of software infiltrated into systems in this manner. These unwanted apps can have different capabilities in varied combinations. PUAs can force-open harmful sites and/or deliver intrusive ad campaigns. Furthermore, most PUAs can track data.

They can record browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collect personal information derived from it (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). PUA developers monetize this data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals), likewise intent on misusing the information for profit.

To summarize, the presence of unwanted software on devices can result in system infections, financial loss, serious privacy issues and even identity theft. Therefore, you are strongly advised to eliminate all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs may seem normal and innocuous, and offer a wide variety of "useful" functionality. Despite how good the features may sound, they rarely work as advertised and, in most cases, do not work at all. The only purpose of these unwanted apps is to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than delivering any real value, they force-open dubious and malicious web pages, run intrusive advertisement campaigns and collect private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are commonly distributed by integrating them into the download and/or installation set-ups of other programs, so that a proportion of users inadvertently download and install them together with their chosen software. This distribution method is known as "bundling".

Offers to download and install additionally-included apps usually appear in "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings of the set-ups (where they can usually be declined). Many users fail to check and change these settings, thereby granting permission for PUAs to be downloaded and installed by default.

In addition, unwanted downloads and installations are sometimes caused by clicking deceptive advertisements capable of executing certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are advised to research all software products to verify their legitimacy, prior to download/installation and/or purchase. All downloads must be done from official and trustworthy sources.

Dubious download channels such as unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.) and other third party downloaders commonly offer harmful and bundled content.

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

If you encounter ads or redirects of this kind, inspect your devices 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.
