How to remove redirects to and from partmentha.fun website?

What is the partmentha[.]fun site?

Partmentha[.]fun is a rogue website designed to present visitors with dubious material and/or redirect them to other unreliable/malicious pages. The Internet is rife with such untrustworthy sites; dollarsurvey365.online, rdsb21.club, bengekoo.com - are just a few examples.

Users tend to access partmentha[.]fun and webpages akin to it unintentionally. Most get redirected to them by intrusive adverts or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

These apps do not need explicit user consent to infiltrate systems. PUAs operate by force-opening websites, running intrusive advertisement campaigns, and gathering browsing-related data.

The behavior of rogue webpages is determined by their visitors' geolocations. This applies to partmentha[.]fun as well.

The sites learn this information by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Therefore, whether visitors to partmentha[.]fun get redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with questionable content - depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, websites of this type typically use deceptive tactics (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick visitors into allowing their browser notifications. Partmentha[.]fun is not an exception to this, and should its notifications be enabled - the site will begin running intrusive advertisement campaigns.

The delivered ads are more than just a nuisance, they also pose a threat to device/user safety. Upon being clicked, intrusive adverts redirect to untrustworthy/malicious pages, and some can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs).

Potentially unwanted applications often have heinous functionalities, which can be in different combinations. For example, these apps can cause redirects and/or deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns.

Furthermore, PUAs usually have data tracking abilities. They monitor browsing activity (visited URLs, viewed webpages, searched queries, etc.) and collect sensitive information inferred from it (IP addresses, geolocations, and even personally identifiable details). The gathered data is then monetized by being 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, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft. To protect device integrity and user privacy, all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be eliminated immediately upon detection.

PUAs rarely appear suspect, they tend to look legitimate and harmless. Users are lured into download/installation and/or purchase with offers of various "useful" functionalities.

However, the promised features are seldom operational. Functionality and user safety are irrelevant as the only goal of unwanted apps is to generate revenue for the developers.

Therefore, instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive advert campaigns, and collect private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are distributed via download/installation setups of other programs. This false marketing technique of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions - is called "bundling".

Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, skipped steps, etc.) increase the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the system. Intrusive advertisements are also used to proliferate PUAs.

Once clicked on, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without user permission. PUAs may have "official" download pages as well.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is important to research software before download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, all downloads must be performed from official and verified sources.

Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, P2P sharing networks (Torrent clients, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), and other third-party downloaders - often offer deceptive and/or bundled content. When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, explore possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from supplementary apps, tools, functions, and other additions.

Intrusive adverts appear legitimate and ordinary; however, they redirect to highly questionable sites (e.g., pornography, gambling, adult-dating, and so forth). In case of encounters with such ads and/or redirects, the system must be checked and all dubious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - removed from it without delay.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
