How to remove redirects to ne01.biz and other rogue websites?

What is the ne01[.]biz website?

Ne01[.]biz, ne02[.]biz, ne03[.]biz, ne04[.]biz, and many other variants - are the URLs of rogue sites. These pages operate by presenting visitors with questionable content and/or redirecting them to untrustworthy/malicious websites.

Users typically access such sites inadvertently; most get redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). These apps can be installed onto systems without user permission.

PUAs are designed to cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns, and gather browsing-related data. It is worth noting that the Internet is rife with rogue websites; lib2.biz, kakstitotako.com, special-update.online - are but a few examples.

The behavior of rogue webpages is determined by their visitors' geolocations (inferred from their IP addresses). Hence, whether visitors to ne01[.]biz (and its relations) get redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with dubious material - depends on their geolocations.

Additionally, sites of this type tend to use deceptive tactics (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick users into allowing their browser notifications. Should the notifications of ne01[.]biz or similar pages be allowed - they will begin running intrusive advert campaigns.

The delivered advertisements are not just an annoyance, but they are also a threat to device/user safety. Once clicked on, intrusive ads redirect to unreliable/malicious webpages, and some can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) without user permission.

Unwanted applications have various harmful functionalities, and these functions can be in different combinations. To elaborate, PUAs can force-open websites and/or deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns.

Furthermore, most apps of this type can track data. They monitor browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collect vulnerable information (IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, etc.). PUA developers monetize the gathered data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices - can result in system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. To protect device integrity and user privacy, it is advised to eliminate all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs usually appear ordinary and innocuous. These applications lure users into download/installation with offers of "handy" functionalities.

However, the promised features are rarely operational. Functionality and user safety are irrelevant, as the only goal of unwanted apps is to generate profit at user expense.

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

How did adware install on my computer?

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

Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., skipped steps, used pre-set options, etc.) increase the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled content into the device.

Intrusive ads are used to proliferate PUAs as well. Upon being clicked, the adverts can execute scripts to stealthily download/install these applications. PUAs may also have "official" download sites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is important to research software products before download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, only official and verified sources must be used 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 harmful and bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, explore available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from supplementary apps, tools, features, and so forth. Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate; however, they redirect to highly questionable webpages (e.g., adult-dating, gambling, pornography, etc.).

In case of encounters with such ads and/or redirects, the device must be checked and all suspicious 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.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
