How to eliminate the advertisements displayed by theresults.net site?

What is theresults[.]net?

Theresults[.]net is a rogue website sharing similarities with liffsandupa.xyz, more*.biz, aidraiphejpb.com, and many others. This site is designed to present visitors with questionable content and/or redirect them to various (likely suspect or malicious) webpages.

Users typically enter such websites via redirects caused by untrustworthy pages, intrusive advertisements, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

Theresults[.]net in detail

How theresults[.]net operates is determined by its visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. In other words, this information dictates whether users are presented with dubious material and/or redirected elsewhere.

Additionally, most sites of this kind use deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, misleading instructions, etc.) to trick visitors into allowing their browser notifications. Theresults[.]net uses fake CAPTCHA verification for this purpose. Should they be enabled - the webpage will start running intrusive advertisement campaigns.

The delivered ads diminish the browsing experience and pose a threat to device/user safety. When clicked on, intrusive adverts redirect to untrustworthy/malicious sites, and some can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs).

Potentially unwanted application overview

PUAs appear ordinary and innocuous; however, they seldom work as advertised, and in most cases - they have harmful abilities instead. Unwanted apps can force-open dubious/dangerous websites, run intrusive ad campaigns, hijack browsers, and gather sensitive data.

To summarize, the presence of PUAs on devices can result in system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are distributed using the "bundling" marketing tactic - packing regular programs with various additions. Rushed downloads/installations (e.g., skipped steps, etc.) increase the risk of allowing bundled content into the system. Upon being clicked, intrusive advertisements can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without user consent. Some of these applications may also have "official" promotional/download pages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advised to research software and only download it from official/verified sources. Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, unofficial and free file-hosting sites, etc. - often 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 all supplements. Intrusive adverts appear legitimate, yet they redirect to unreliable and questionable websites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).

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