How to remove software force-opening the coxziptwo.com website?

What is coxziptwo[.]com?

Sharing many similarities with news-tabiva.cc, my-live-videos-4u.com, news-robico.cc, and countless others, coxziptwo[.]com is a rogue webpage. It is designed to load questionable content and/or redirect visitors to various sites (likely unreliable or malicious ones).

These webpages are seldom accessed intentionally; most users get redirected to them by untrustworthy websites, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). These apps do not need explicit user consent, and they have harmful functionalities.

Coxziptwo[.]com in detail

How coxziptwo[.]com operates is determined by visitors' geolocations. The page learns this information by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Therefore, whether visitors are presented with dubious material and/or get redirected elsewhere - is dictated by their geolocations.

Furthermore, rogue websites typically use deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to lure visitors into enabling their browser notifications. Coxziptwo[.]com is not an exception to this; should its notifications be allowed - it will start delivering intrusive advert campaigns.

The displayed ads are misleading, untrustworthy, and even hazardous. They endorse a wide variety of sale-oriented, unreliable, deceptive/scam, and malicious sites. What is more, some intrusive advertisements can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs) - when they are clicked on.

How do potentially unwanted applications operate?

Potentially unwanted applications can have varied heinous abilities, which can be in different combinations. To elaborate, this software can force-open webpages and/or run intrusive advertisement campaigns. Most PUAs can track data as well.

Targeted information includes: URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, and so on. The gathered data is then monetized by being shared with and/or sold to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals), likewise intent on misusing it for profit.

To summarize, the presence of unwanted apps on devices can result in system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. It is strongly advised to remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

Potentially unwanted applications in general

PUAs typically appear legitimate and promise "handy" features. However, the functions rarely work as advertised, and in most cases - they do not work at all. The only goal of unwanted apps is to generate revenue at user expense. PUAs are designed to cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

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

Intrusive advertisements are also used to proliferate PUAs as well. Once clicked on, the adverts can execute scripts to download/install these applications without user permission. PUAs may have "official" promotional webpages from which they can be downloaded and/or purchased.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is important to research software before download/installation. Additionally, all downloads must be performed from official and trustworthy sources. Dubious download channels, e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - commonly offer bundled and harmful content.

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

In case of encounters with ads and/or redirects of this kind, 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.
