How to remove applications force-opening the bestdream.space website?

What is the bestdream[.]space website?

Bestdream[.]space is an untrustworthy webpage, which shares many similarities with worldactualstories.com, attohearally.biz, enuebenet.biz, and thousands of others. Websites of this type are designed to deliver questionable content and/or redirect visitors to unreliable/malicious pages.

Users rarely intentionally access bestdream[.]space and sites akin to it; most get redirected to them by intrusive adverts or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). This software can be installed onto systems without express user permission. PUAs operate by causing redirects, running intrusive advertisement campaigns, and gathering information relating to browsing activity.

Once accessed, the first thing bestdream[.]space does is check the visitor's IP (Internet Protocol) address to learn their geolocation. The latter is key to determining the webpage's behavior.

To elaborate, whether visitors are presented with dubious material and/or get redirected elsewhere - depends on their geolocations. Additionally, most untrustworthy websites use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, and other deceptive content to lure users into enabling their browser notifications.

Bestdream[.]space is not an exception to this, and should its notifications be allowed - it will start running intrusive ad campaigns. The delivered advertisements are misleading, deceptive, and even malicious.

They promote various unreliable and hazardous sites. Furthermore, when clicked on, some intrusive adverts can execute scripts to download/install software (e.g., PUAs) stealthily.

Unwanted applications have varied harmful abilities, which can be in different combinations. For example, these apps can force-open webpages and/or deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns.

Most PUAs can track data. They record browsing activity (visited URLs, viewed pages, searched queries, etc.) and gather sensitive information extracted from it (IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, etc.). PUA developers monetize the collected 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, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft. Therefore, it is crucial to remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

PUAs seldom appear suspect, they tend to look legitimate and harmless. Users are enticed into download/installation and/or purchase with offers of various "handy" features. Despite how good the promised functions may sound, they are usually nonoperational.

Functionality and user safety are irrelevant, as the only aim of unwanted apps is to generate profit for the developers. Therefore, 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 are spread via download/installation setups of other programs. This deceptive marketing technique of packing regular products with unwanted or malicious additions - is termed "bundling". Rushed downloads/installations (e.g., ignored terms, skipped steps and sections, used pre-set options, etc.) increase the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the device, thereby endangering the system with potential infections.

Intrusive advertisements are also used to proliferate PUAs. Upon being clicked, these adverts can execute scripts to download/install this software without user consent. Select PUAs have "official" promotional/download webpages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is highly recommended to research software products 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, and other third-party downloaders - often offer bundled and/or dangerous content. Download and installation processes must be approached with caution; that entails - reading terms, exploring possible options, using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings, and opting-out from supplementary apps, tools, features, etc.

Intrusive advertisements appear ordinary and innocuous; however, they redirect to various unreliable and questionable websites (e.g., pornography, adult-dating, gambling, and many others). 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.
