How to stop redirects to and from caravane-plantes.com

What is caravane-plantes[.]com?

Sharing similar traits with jioer.pro, mybestnewz.com, beforeigntools.club and countless others, caravane-plantes[.]com is an untrusted website. When this site is accessed, users are presented with dubious content and/or are redirected to other bogus or possibly malicious web pages.

Typically, caravane-plantes[.]com and similar websites are opened via redirects caused by intrusive ads or by Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already installed on the system. These apps do not require explicit user consent to be installed onto devices. PUAs cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns and collect browsing-related data.

The visitor's geolocation is key to determining caravane-plantes[.]com web page's behavior. It learns this information by checking visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. To elaborate, whether users visiting caravane-plantes[.]com are redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, this site uses browser notifications. The page urges users to click the "Allow" button to continue, however, this is merely to trick them into enabling the notifications. Should users enable the notifications, caravane-plantes[.]com begins delivering intrusive ad campaigns.

As well as diminishing the browsing experience, the delivered advertisements pose a threat to device/user safety. Once clicked, they redirect to various untrusted and malicious web pages. Some of these ads can even be triggered (when clicked) to execute scripts to stealthily download/install rogue software (e.g. PUAs).

These unwanted apps can cause redirects and/or run intrusive ad campaigns. Furthermore, most PUAs have data tracking capabilities. 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).

The gathered data is then monetized by sharing with and/or selling to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

To summarize, the presence of unwanted software on devices can result in system infections, serious privacy issues, financial loss and even identity theft. Therefore, you are strongly advised to remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

PUAs may seem legitimate and harmless, and often entice users into download/installation and/or purchase with offers of "useful" functionality, however, the advertised features are usually nonoperational. The only purpose of PUAs is to generate profit for the developers.

Rather than delivering any real value, these applications cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns and collect private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are often downloaded/installed together with other products. This deceptive marketing technique of pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling".

By rushing through download/installation (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using "Quick/Express" settings, etc.), many users risk unintentionally allowing bundled content into their devices. Intrusive advertisements proliferate PUAs as well.

When clicked, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without users' permission. Some PUAs have "official" download web pages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are advised to research all software before download/installation. Use only official and verified download channels. Unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule), and other third party downloaders commonly offer harmful and bundled content, and are therefore untrusted and should be avoided.

When downloading/installing, read the terms, study all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of additional apps, tools, features, and so on. Intrusive advertisements typically seem legitimate, however, they can redirect to dubious and malicious sites (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and many others).

If you encounter ads or redirects of this kind, inspect the system and remove all dubious 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.
