How to remove apps causing redirects to the undwouldm.biz website?
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is the undwouldm[.]biz site?
Undwouldm[.]biz is a rogue website, which shares common traits with thatthereis.biz, puiont.com, ywfiof.com, and many others. This page is designed to load dubious content and/or redirect visitors to untrustworthy/malicious sites.
Users typically enter webpages of this kind inadvertently. Most get redirected to them by intrusive adverts or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).
This software does not require explicit user permission to infiltrate systems. Following successful installation, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect information relating to browsing activity.
Once accessed, the first thing undwouldm[.]biz does is check the visitor's IP (Internet Protocol) address to learn their geolocation. This data determines the site's further course of action.
In other words, whether visitors are presented with questionable material and/or get redirected elsewhere - depends on their geolocations. Hence, by visiting rogue pages, users can experience various problems.
Additionally, these websites usually use deceptive tactics to trick visitors into enabling their browser notifications. This is true of undwouldm[.]biz as well; it uses adult-themed clickbait to lure visitors into allowing its notifications.
Should they be enabled, undwouldm[.]biz will start running intrusive advert campaigns. The delivered ads are misleading and may also be malicious.
Once clicked on, intrusive advertisements redirect to untrustworthy/hazardous sites, and some can stealthily download/install harmful software (e.g., PUAs). PUAs can have heinous functionalities, and these functions can be in different combinations.
For example, these apps can force-open websites and/or deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns. Furthermore, most PUAs have data tracking abilities.
They monitor browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collect sensitive information extracted from it (IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, etc). The collected data is then shared with and/or sold to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).
In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. Therefore, it is highly recommended to remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

PUAs appear legitimate and harmless. They entice users into download/installation and/or purchase with a wide variety of features.
However, the advertised functions are rarely operational. The sole goal of unwanted apps is to generate profit for the developers; to users - they have no real value.
Instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive advert campaigns, and gather vulnerable information.
How did adware install on my computer?
PUAs can be downloaded/installed alongside other products. This false marketing tactic of packing regular programs with unwanted or malicious additions - is termed "bundling".
Rushed downloads/installations (e.g., ignored terms, used pre-set options, etc.) increase the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled content into the system. Upon being clicked, intrusive adverts can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without user consent.
These applications can also have "official" download webpages.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
It is advised to research software prior to download/installation and/or purchase. Furthermore, all downloads must be done from official and verified sources.
Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting sites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (Torrent clients, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), and other third-party downloaders - often offer bundled and/or dangerous content. When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, study possible options, use the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings, and opt-out from supplementary apps, tools, features, and other additions.
Intrusive advertisements appear ordinary and innocuous; however, they redirect to various unreliable and questionable websites (e.g., gambling, adult-dating, pornography, and so on). 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.
