Also Known As: Ads by udsignation.biz
Damage level: Medium

What is udsignation[.]biz?

udsignation[.]biz is similar to linstersbig[.]com, turboflash[.]me, chultoux[.]com, and many other websites designed to trick visitors into allowing them to show notifications or to open a couple of other shady pages. What these pages do when they get visited depends on the geolocation (IP address) of their visitors.

In one way or another, udsignation[.]biz and other pages of this type cannot be trusted. As a rule, users visit them accidentally - through clicked deceptive ads, visited untrustworthy pages.

It is also common that browsers open pages like udsignation[.]biz because they have some potentially unwanted application (PUA) installed on them.

udsignation[.]biz pop-up redirects

At the time of the research, udsignation[.]biz loaded a deceptive message saying that it is necessary to click the "Allow" button to continue loading the page. Other websites of this type can use different clickbait techniques to trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" button (into allowing them to show notifications).

For example, they can display a fake CAPTCHA test encouraging visitors to click the aforementioned button to prove that they are not robots. Typically, notifications from websites like udsignation[.]biz are used to promote untrustworthy (potentially malicious) websites, questionable applications, and so on.

Therefore, websites of this type (and other dubious sites) should never be allowed to show notifications. As mentioned in the introduction paragraph, pages like udsignation[.]biz can be used to promote questionable websites.

For instance, they can be used to promote pages designed to trick visitors into downloading and installing browser hijackers, adware, and other unwanted software, providing personal information like credit card details, login credentials, and so on. etc. A couple of examples of pages that may get opened through sites like udsignation[.]biz are "Chance To Win The New iPad Pro", "Important Defender Update Available", "Instagram Copyright Infringement".

Therefore, it is highly advisable not to trust/visit udsignation[.]biz and other similar pages. Potentially unwanted applications used to promote pages like udsignation[.]biz can be designed to gather various data. Usually, apps of this kind target information related to browsing habits, for example, IP addresses, entered search queries, visited websites, geolocations.

However, they can be monetized by designing them to collect sensitive, personal information (e.g., credit card details, passwords) that could be used to steal accounts, identities, make unauthorized transactions, etc. Another problem with it is that gathered information could be sold to third parties (potentially cybercriminals).

Additionally, apps of his kind can be designed to serve coupons, surveys, banners, pop-ups, and other advertisements. As a rule, those ads are used to promote untrustworthy web pages or distribute unwanted software by designing them to execute certain scripts.

In one way or another, ads that appear because of installed PUAs should not be clicked.

To summarize, pages like udsignation[.]biz are promoted through unreliable advertisements, websites, and PUAs. Another issue with having PUAs installed on browsers or computers is that they can be monetized by designing them to gather various data and display unwanted advertisements.

Typically, apps of this kind are not useful to their users in any way and can cause them various problems. Therefore, PUAs should never be downloaded and installed.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most users unintentionally download or install potentially unwanted applications: when they are distributed through deceptive advertisements or using a "bundling" method. Advertisements can cause unwanted downloads or installations when they are designed to execute certain scripts.

Users cause unexpected downloads, installations by clicking those ads. In the second case, users download or install potentially unwanted apps together with other programs - when PUAs are included in downloaders or installers as additional offers.

Users can find and opt out unwanted apps via "Custom", "Advanced" (or other) settings, or by unticking ticked checkboxes. When users leave those settings unchanged, they agree to download or install offered PUAs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Software and files should be downloaded from official websites (and using direct download links). Files (or programs) downloaded via Peer-to-Peer networks (eMule, torrent clients, and so on), unofficial pages, various third-party downloaders, etc., are not trustworthy.

Apps installed via third-party installers cannot be trusted too. Furthermore, downloaders and installers that have "Advanced", "Manual, "Custom" or other settings, or ticked checkboxes often include additional offers.

Those offers should be declined before finishing downloads, installations. Advertisements on unreliable pages should not be trusted/clicked - they can open potentially malicious pages or run scripts designed to cause downloads, installations.

Any suspicious or unknown extensions, add-ons, or plug-ins installed on a web browser and software of this kind installed on the operating system should be removed. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
