How to remove applications force-opening the irkantyip.com website?

What is irkantyip[.]com?

Irkantyip[.]com is a rogue website sharing many similarities with hornypornvid.com, time4news.net, theactualstories.com, captchadecode.com, and countless others. This page operates by presenting visitors with dubious content and/or redirecting them to different sites (likely unreliable or malicious ones).

Users rarely intentionally enter such websites; most get redirected to them by rogue webpages, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). This software has harmful abilities, including - causing redirects, running intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collecting browsing-related data.

Irkantyip[.]com in detail

How exactly irkantyip[.]com operates is determined by its visitors' geolocations. The site learns this information by checking their IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Hence, whether visitors are presented with questionable material and/or get redirected elsewhere - depends on their geolocations.

Additionally, most rogue websites use deceptive content to trick users into allowing their browser notifications. This applies to irkantyip[.]com as well. Should its notifications be enabled, the page will start delivering intrusive advert campaigns.

The delivered advertisements are more than just a nuisance. They promote various sale-based, untrustworthy, deceptive/scam, compromised, and malicious webpages. Furthermore, some intrusive ads can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs) - when they are clicked on.

How do potentially unwanted applications operate?

PUAs can have a variety of heinous functionalities, and they can be in different combinations. To elaborate, these applications can force-open websites and/or run intrusive advertisement campaigns. What is more, most PUAs can track data.

They record browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, 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 apps on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. To ensure device integrity and user privacy, all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be removed immediately upon detection.

Potentially unwanted applications in general

PUAs appear ordinary and harmless. They also offer various functionalities. However, despite how handy the features may sound - they are usually nonoperational. PUAs only aim to generate profit at user expense. Therefore, instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns, and collect private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are spread via download/installation setups of other products. This false marketing tactic of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions - is termed "bundling". Rushed downloads/installations (e.g., skipped steps, used pre-set options, etc.) increase the risk of allowing bundled content into the device.

Intrusive advertisements are used to distribute PUAs as well. Once clicked on, the ads can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user permission. Some PUAs may also have "official" promotional websites from which they can be downloaded and/or purchased.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advised to research software before download/installation. Furthermore, all downloads must be performed 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 - commonly offer bundled content.

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

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