glukubairaw.com displays a scam on it. It asks users to fill in a questionnaire to find out how they can “make money on the Internet” and “become a millionaire by 2024”. The site also prompts your browser to show the “glukubairaw.com wants to show notifications” alert. If you click “Allow”, the site will start spamming ads on your desktop. The majority of these ads will be just annoying, but some could expose you to scams and/or malicious content. Thus, if you have given the site permission, do not click on the notifications. You also need to revoke the permission as soon as possible.
The “show notifications” feature is legitimate so you can allow legitimate sites to show notifications. These permissions are easily revoked in your browser’s settings. Instructions can be found at the very end of this report if you need assistance navigating your browser’s settings.
What is causing you to get redirected to sites like glukubairaw.com?
Random redirects to glukubairaw.com and similar websites can be triggered by the sites you visit. Plenty of websites try to spam users with as much ad content as possible. For example, sites with pornography or pirated content expose users to loads of ads to make revenue. Interacting with anything on certain sites often triggers a redirect. However, the redirects can be easily blocked with an adblocker program.
If the redirects are occurring regularly, it may be a sign of an adware infection on your computer. If that is the case, you should also notice an increase in regular ads. Adware is not a serious infection and usually gets installed via the software bundling method. The method allows such infections to be installed without requiring explicit permission, which is why it’s considered to be a rather frowned-upon installation method. Programs that use it are often classified as potentially unwanted by many anti-virus programs.
The way software bundling works is adware, browser hijackers, and similar infections are added to free programs as extra offers. The added offers are always optional but are permitted to be installed alongside the program without requiring explicit permission. Because they are options, it is possible to deselect the extra offers. However, users often do not notice them because they’re hidden in settings users don’t often use.
During program installations, you will be given the option to choose which settings to use. The installation window recommends using Default but if you do that and the program has added offers, they will be permitted to install as well. Advanced (Custom) settings, on the other hand, display all added offers. Those settings will also give you the option to deselect the offers you do not want.
Because software bundling is quite a controversial method, it’s not recommended to install any programs that use it. If you allow these installations, you will quickly fill your computer with junk programs that are tricky to get rid of.
