Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is the get-money-to[.]shop website?
Get-money-to[.]shop is a rogue site designed to present visitors with questionable content and/or redirect them to other unreliable and possibly malicious pages. The Internet is rife with webpages similar to get-money-to[.]shop; takhiza.com, netflowcorp.com, rockstartpush.net - are just a couple of examples.
Users seldom access these websites intentionally. Most get redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).
These apps can infiltrate systems without user consent. PUAs operate by causing redirects, running intrusive advert campaigns, and collecting data relating to browsing activity.
Whether visitors to get-money-to[.]shop are redirected to another site and/or are presented with dubious material - depends on their geolocations. The webpage learns this information by checking its visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses.
Furthermore, most rogue pages use deceptive tactics (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification, clickbait, etc.) to trick users into enabling their browser notifications. Should the notifications of get-money-to[.]shop be allowed, it will begin delivering intrusive advertisement campaigns.
The delivered adverts are more than a minor nuisance, they also pose a threat to device and user safety. Intrusive ads promote various misleading, untrustworthy, deceptive/scam, and malicious websites.
Some of the advertisements can even be triggered (by being clicked) to execute scripts to download/install software (e.g., PUAs) without user permission. Unwanted applications can have varied harmful functionalities, and these functions can be in different combinations.
For example, PUAs can force-open pages and/or deliver intrusive advert campaigns. Most apps of this kind have data tracking abilities as well.
Targeted information includes (but is not limited to): URLs visited, webpages viewed, search queries typed, IP addresses/ geolocations, and personally identifiable details. The collected 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 identity theft. Hence, it is crucial to remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs usually look legitimate and innocuous. Users are enticed into download/installation with offers of "useful" functionalities.
However, these features are typically nonoperational. The sole purpose of unwanted apps is to generate revenue for the developers; to users - they have no real value.
Therefore, instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns, and gather vulnerable information.
How did adware install on my computer?
PUAs are distributed via download/installation setups of other software. This false marketing method of packing regular programs with unwanted or malicious additions - is termed "bundling".
Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, used pre-set options, etc.) increase the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the system.
Intrusive advertisements are used to spread PUAs as well. Once clicked on, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications stealthily. Some PUAs also have "official" download sites.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
It is advised to always research software before download/installation and/or purchase. Only official and verified download channels must be used.
Since untrustworthy sources, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - often offer dangerous and bundled content.
When downloading/installing, it is highly recommended to read terms, explore all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from supplementary apps, tools, features, etc.
Intrusive adverts appear legitimate and harmless; however, they redirect to various unreliable and questionable webpages (e.g., gambling, pornography, 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 - immediately removed from it. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
