What is mobifliks[.]com?

Furthermore, websites like mobifliks[.]com often host intrusive ads and/or try to trick users into allowing their browser notifications.

Potentially unwanted application overview
Rogue and other harmful sites are usually accessed inadvertently. Most users enter them through redirects caused by other dubious pages, browser notifications/ intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).
This software looks legitimate, yet it can force-open websites, deliver intrusive ad campaigns, hijack browsers, and collect sensitive information. To summarize, PUAs can cause system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.
How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?
PUAs are proliferated via download/installation setups of other programs. This marketing method is called "bundling", and rushed download/installation processes increase the risk of allowing such content into the system. Additionally, some intrusive advertisements can download/install PUAs - when clicked on. Unwanted apps can also have "official" promotional/download sites.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
It is important to research software and only download it from official and verified channels. Untrustworthy sources, e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, etc. - often offer bundled content.
When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, explore available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from all additions. Intrusive adverts appear legitimate, yet they redirect to questionable sites (e.g., adult-dating, pornography, gambling, etc.).
If such ads and/or redirects are encountered - the system must be inspected and all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately removed. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
