How to remove software causing redirects to lotsnippier.cam website?

What is the lotsnippier[.]cam site?

Sharing similarities with smartklick.biz, wholecoolstories.com, ddyuei.com, and many others, lotsnippier[.]cam is an untrustworthy website. It is designed to deliver dubious content and/or redirect visitors to other unreliable/malicious pages.

Sites of this type are usually accessed unintentionally; most users enter them through redirects caused by intrusive advertisements or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). These apps do not require explicit user consent to infiltrate systems.

PUAs operate by causing redirects, running intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collecting browsing-related information.

The exact behavior of lotsnippier[.]cam and other rogue sites akin to it - is determined by their visitors' geolocations. The webpages learn this information by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses.

In other words, whether visitors get redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with questionable material - depends on their geolocations. In addition, these pages often use deceptive tactics (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick users into allowing their browser notifications.

Lotsnippier[.]cam states that "To access the website, click 'Allow'", by following these instructions - visitors will enable the site's notifications. Therefore, lotsnippier[.]cam will be inadvertently allowed to run intrusive advert campaigns.

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

Potentially unwanted applications can have various harmful functionalities, and these functions can be in different combinations. For example, these apps can force-open dangerous sites and/or run intrusive advertisement campaigns.

Furthermore, most PUAs can track data. They can record browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, searched queries typed, etc.) and collect vulnerable information extracted from it (IP addresses, geolocations, and personally identifiable details). The gathered data is then monetized by being shared with and/or sold to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

To summarize, the presence of unwanted software on devices - can lead to system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. To ensure device integrity and user privacy, all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be eliminated immediately upon detection.

PUAs typically appear legitimate and innocuous. They also offer a broad range of "handy" features.

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

PUAs are designed to cause redirects, deliver intrusive ad campaigns, and collect private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

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

Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., skipped steps, used "Easy/Express" settings, etc.) increase the risk of allowing bundled content into the system. Intrusive adverts proliferate PUAs as well.

Upon being clicked, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without user permission. Some PUAs also have "official" promotional/download webpages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to research software prior to download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, only official and verified download channels must be used.

Untrustworthy sources, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - commonly offer deceptive and/or bundled content. When downloading/installing, it is important to read terms, study possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from supplementary apps, tools, features, and so forth.

Intrusive advertisements appear ordinary and harmless; however, they redirect to highly questionable sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and so forth). In case of encounters with ads and/or redirects of this kind, the system must be checked and all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - removed from it 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.
