How to remove redirects to and from chultoux.com website?

What is chultoux[.]com?

Similar to deshaici.net, red-video.fun, yourwowfeed.com, and countless others, chultoux[.]com is a rogue website. Visitors to this page are presented with questionable content and/or redirected to untrustworthy or possibly malicious sites. These webpages are typically accessed unintentionally; most get redirected to them by intrusive ads or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

This software can infiltrate systems without user permission. PUAs are designed to force-open websites, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect browsing-related information.

Rogue sites base their behavior on their visitors' geolocations, and chultoux[.]com is not an exception to this. The webpages learn this data by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses.

In other words, whether visitors are presented with dubious material and/or get redirected elsewhere - depends on their IP addresses/ geolocations. Furthermore, websites of this type tend to use deceptive tactics (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to lure visitors into enabling their browser notifications.

This applies to chultoux[.]com as well; it implies that to continue watching/streaming - the site's notifications must be allowed. Should users be tricked into enabling the browser notifications, they will inadvertently allow chultoux[.]com to run intrusive advert campaigns.

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

PUAs can have varied heinous functionalities, which can be in different combinations. For example, this software can cause redirects and/or run intrusive advertisement campaigns. What is more, most PUAs have data tracking abilities.Information of interest includes: visited URLs, viewed pages, searched queries, IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, etc.

The gathered data is then shared with and/or sold to third-parties, likewise intent on misusing it for profit. In summary, the presence of unwanted apps on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. To protect device integrity and user privacy, all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be eliminated immediately upon detection.

PUAs typically appear legitimate and harmless. Users are enticed into download/installation and/or purchase with offers of various "useful" and "advantageous" functions. However, the features rarely work as advertised, and in most cases - they are utterly nonoperational.

The sole aim of PUAs is to generate profit for the developers; hence, functionality and user safety are irrelevant. PUAs operate by force-opening unreliable and dangerous sites, running intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collecting private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed alongside other programs. This false marketing method of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions - is called "bundling". Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, skipped steps, etc.) increase the risk of allowing bundled content into the system.

When clicked on, intrusive adverts can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user permission. Select PUAs also have "official" promotional/download webpages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advised to research software before download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, only official and trustworthy download channels must be used. Dubious download sources, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting sites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - often offer deceptive and bundled content.

Download and installation processes must be approached with caution. Therefore, it is recommended to read terms, explore all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and decline downloading/installing additional apps, tools, features, etc.

Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate and innocuous; however, they redirect to various unreliable and questionable websites (e.g., adult-dating, pornography, gambling, and so forth). In case of encounters with such ads and/or redirects, the system 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.
