How to stop getting redirected to and from the admntrk.com website?

What is admntrk[.]com?

Similar to news-back.org, rockstartpush.net, captcharesolver.com, newstorg.cc, and thousands of others, admntrk[.]com is a rogue website. It operates by delivering questionable material and/or redirecting its visitors to untrustworthy/malicious sites.

Users rarely access websites of this kind intentionally. Most get redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). These apps do not require explicit user permission to infiltrate systems.

PUAs are designed to cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns, and gather browsing-related data.

The behavior of admntrk[.]com is determined by its visitors' geolocations. The website learns this information by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses.

Hence, whether visitors get redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with dubious content - depends on their geolocations. Additionally, rogue sites typically use deceptive tactics (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick users into allowing their browser notifications.

This is true of admntrk[.]com as well, and if its notifications are enabled - the webpage will begin running intrusive advert campaigns. The delivered ads are more than just a minor annoyance; they pose a threat to device and user safety.

Once clicked on, intrusive advertisements redirect to dangerous websites, and some can even stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs). Potentially unwanted applications can have different harmful functionalities, and these functions can be in varied combinations.

For example, these apps can force-open pages and/or deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns. Furthermore, most PUAs can track data.

They record browsing activity (visited URLs, viewed webpages, searched queries, etc.) and collect sensitive information extracted from it (IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, and other vulnerable data).

PUA developers monetize the collected information by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals). To summarize, the presence of unwanted software on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Therefore, it is strongly advised to remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs rarely appear suspect, they tend to look legitimate and innocuous. This software usually promises various "useful" and "advantageous" features.

However, the advertised functionalities 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 advertisement campaigns, and collect private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are distributed through download/installation setups of other programs. "Bundling" is the name of this deceptive method - packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions.

By rushing through download/installation processes (e.g., skipping steps and sections, using "Quick/Express" settings, etc.) - users risk inadvertently allowing bundled content into their devices. Intrusive adverts are also used to spread PUAs.

Upon being clicked, the ads can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user consent. PUAs may have "official" download sites as well.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to always research software products 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, P2P sharing networks (Torrent clients, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), and other third-party downloaders - commonly offer dangerous and 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 other additions. Intrusive advertisements appear ordinary and harmless; however, they redirect to highly questionable webpages (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).

Should users encounter ads and/or redirects of this type, they must inspect their devices and immediately remove all dubious 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.
