How to uninstall apps causing redirects to the lookvideonow.eu site?

What is the lookvideonow[.]eu website?

Akin to irkantyip.com, hornypornvid.com, rdsb21.club, subordingry.website, and countless others, lookvideonow[.]eu is a rogue site. It operates by loading dubious material and/or redirecting visitors to various webpages (likely unreliable or malicious ones).

Users seldom access such websites intentionally; most get redirected to them by untrustworthy pages, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). This software can be installed onto systems without user permission, and subsequently cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns, and collect browsing-related data.

Lookvideonow[.]eu in detail

When accessed, the first thing lookvideonow[.]eu does is check the visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to learn geolocations. This information determines the website's further course of action. Therefore, whether visitors are presented with questionable content and/or redirected elsewhere - depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, many sites of this type use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, and other deceptive statements/instructions - to trick users into enabling their browser notifications. This applies to lookvideonow[.]eu as well, and should its notifications be allowed - the page will start running intrusive ad campaigns.

The delivered adverts are more than just a nuisance, they also pose a threat to device/user safety. Intrusive ads endorse various untrustworthy and malicious webpages. Some of these advertisements can even infiltrate software (e.g., PUAs) into systems - when they are clicked on.

How do potentially unwanted applications operate?

Potentially unwanted applications can have varied harmful functionalities, and these functions can be in different combinations. For example, these apps can force-open websites and/or deliver intrusive advert campaigns. What is more, most PUAs have data tracking abilities.

Targeted information includes: URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, and so forth. PUA developers monetize the collected data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties.

In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices can lead to system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. To protect device integrity and user privacy, all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be eliminated without delay.

Potentially unwanted applications in general

PUAs typically appear legitimate and offer "useful" features. However, these functions are rarely operational. Functionality and user safety are irrelevant, as the only goal of unwanted apps is to generate profit for the developers. PUAs are designed to cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect vulnerable information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are distributed via downloaders/installers of other products. This deceptive marketing tactic of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions - is called "bundling". Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., skipped steps, used pre-set options, etc.) increase the risk of allowing bundled content into the system.

Intrusive adverts are used to spread PUAs as well. Upon being clicked, the advertisements can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user consent. Some PUAs have "official" promotional/download webpages from which they can be downloaded and/or purchased.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to research products before download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, all downloads must be done from official and verified sources. Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - commonly offer bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is advised to read terms, study available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from additional apps, tools, functions, etc. Intrusive ads appear legitimate; however, they redirect to highly questionable sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and so on).

In case of encounters with ads and/or redirects of this type, the system must be inspected 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.
