How to remove redirects to and from redpush.name

What is redpush[.]name?

redpush[.]name is a rogue web page sharing many similarities with helgminers.com, studience.club, greendsign.com and countless others. Visitors to this site are presented with dubious content and/or are redirected to other bogus and possibly malicious sites.

Few users intentionally access redpush[.]name or other similar websites intentionally - most people are redirected to them by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already infiltrated into their devices. This software does not need explicit user consent to be installed onto systems.

PUAs cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns and collect browsing-related information.

Visitors' geolocations determine how redpush[.]name operates. It learns this information by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Therefore, whether visitors are redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations.

Additionally, this website uses browser notifications and implies that they must be enabled to view the video presented on the site. Using deceptive tactics to trick visitors into allowing browser notifications is common to rogue sites. When the notifications are enabled, the websites begin running intrusive advertisement campaigns.

This is the case with redpush[.]name, which delivers various unwanted and intrusive ads. These ads are more than just a nuisance, they also pose a threat to device/user safety. Once clicked, intrusive advertisements can redirect to untrusted/malicious web pages and some can even stealthily download/install software (e.g. PUAs).

These unwanted apps can have varied capabilities and these features can be in different combinations. PUAs can force-open dangerous websites and run intrusive ad campaigns. Furthermore, most PUAs can track data.

They can monitor browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collect personal information extracted from it (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). The gathered data is then shared with and/or sold to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices can result in system infections, financial loss, serious privacy issues and even identity theft. To protect device integrity and user safety, all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be removed immediately upon detection.

PUAs typically seem legitimate and harmless. These applications often entice users into download/installation and/or purchase with offers of various "useful" functionality, however, the advertised features are seldom operational. The sole purpose of this unwanted software is to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns and collect private data.

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". B

y rushing through download/installation of software (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 from which they can be downloaded.

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.
