oneqanet24.com is a very generic website, one of thousands of websites that misuse a legitimate browser feature to spam ads. When you get redirected to the site, you will get a browser alert saying “oneqanet24.com wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, the site will start spamming ads.
oneqanet24.com is completely empty of content besides a message saying you need to click “Allow” to prove you are not a robot. To do that, the site asks that you click “Allow” on the “oneqanet24.com wants to show notifications” browser alert. If you click “Allow”, the site will essentially be authorized to spam ads on your desktop. While most of those ads will only be annoying, some could expose you to dangerous content, including scams and malware. So, if you have given the site permission, do not click on the notifications and revoke the permission as soon as possible.
If there’s a website you frequent and want to see more of its content without having to visit the site, you can allow it to show you notifications as long as the site is safe. These permissions can be easily revoked if you want to stop seeing the notifications on your screen. You can find instructions at the very end of this report if you need assistance.
What is causing you to get redirected to sites like oneqanet24.com?
Random redirects to oneqanet24.com and similar websites are most likely triggered by the sites users visit. Dubious sites, such as ones with pornography or pirated content, expose users to a large number of ads to make revenue. Clicking on anything on certain sites often triggers a redirect. However, any decent adblocker program will be able to block both regular ads as well as redirects.
If the redirects are happening regularly, you could have infected your computer with adware. If that is the case, there should be an increase in regular ads as well as redirects. It’s, fortunately, not a serious infection. It’s usually installed via the software bundling method. The method allows such infections to be installed without requiring explicit permission from users. It’s a controversial installation method, and programs that use it are often classified as potentially unwanted by various anti-virus vendors.
The way software bundling works is adware, browser hijackers, and similar infections are added to free programs as extra offers. The offers are always optional but because they are concealed, users often do not notice them. If the offers are not manually deselected, they are permitted to be installed alongside without requiring explicit permission.
When installing programs, you can choose which settings to use. The installation window always recommends using Default but if you do that, all added offers will be hidden and permitted to install automatically if the program has any. Advanced (Custom) settings, on the other hand, will not only display all added offers but also give you the option to deselect the offers you do not want.
Evidently, software bundling is quite a controversial method. Programs that use it should not be authorized to install on your computer. If you allow these installations, your computer will be filled with junk programs in no time.
