How to eliminate the ads displayed by rplnd1.com website?

What is rplnd1[.]com?

Similar to desktopshieldprotection.com, myfreshspot.com, breaking-news.me, people-around.me, and countless others, rplnd1[.]com is a rogue website. It is designed to load dubious material and/or redirect visitors to different (likely unreliable or malicious) pages.

Most users enter such sites via redirects caused by untrustworthy webpages, intrusive ads, or PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications) installed onto their devices.

Rplnd1[.]com overview

The behavior of rplnd1[.]com is dictated by its visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. In other words, this information determines whether visitors are presented with dubious content and/or redirected elsewhere. Additionally, most rogue pages use deceptive instructions or similar - to lure users into enabling their browser notifications.

This applies to rplnd1[.]com as well; should the notifications be allowed - the website will begin running intrusive ad campaigns. The advertisements delivered by rplnd1[.]com can be misleading, deceptive, and even harmful. They endorse various untrustworthy and malicious sites. Furthermore, some intrusive adverts are capable of stealthily downloading/installing software (e.g., PUAs) - when they are clicked on.

Potentially unwanted application overview

Despite their innocuous appearance, PUAs seldom work as promised and typically have undesirable/dangerous abilities. Unwanted apps can force-open dubious/malicious webpages, run intrusive advert campaigns, hijack browsers, and gather private information.

The sole goal of PUAs is to generate revenue at user expense; therefore, the presence of this software on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other software. This marketing technique of packing regular programs with various additions - is called "bundling". Intrusive adverts are also used to proliferate PUAs. Upon being clicked, the advertisements can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user permission. Some PUAs have "official" download sites as well.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is highly recommended to research software and download it from official/verified channels. Untrustworthy sources, e.g., Peer-to-Peer (P2P) sharing networks, unofficial and freeware websites, etc. - commonly offer bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is advised to read terms, study possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from all supplements (e.g., apps, tools, etc.). Intrusive ads appear legitimate, yet they redirect to questionable sites (e.g., gambling, adult-dating, pornography, etc.).

In case of encounters with adverts and/or redirects of this kind, the device 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.
