Remove blueseek.com redirect

blueseek.com is a questionable website you may get randomly redirected to if your computer has an adware infection or if you browse ad-heavy sites. Typically, if you get redirected to blueseek.com, you’ll also get redirected to several other highly questionable websites. The sites you’ll end up on will have a lot of spam content but could also expose you to potentially dangerous content, including scams and even malware. Thus, if you notice that you’re getting redirected, you need to check your computer for an adware infection.

 

 

blueseek.com is technically a legitimate advertising service that is used by some sites to generate revenue. However, if you are randomly redirected to it when browsing, your computer may have adware installed. Adware isn’t a particularly dangerous infection but it can redirect to potentially dangerous websites that may expose you to malicious software or various scams. These redirects can compromise your online security by inadvertently leading you to sites that might attempt to steal your personal information or infect your system with more damaging types of malware.

Redirects to blueseek.com and all the associated spam websites will be very annoying if they happen regularly. Sites you’ll end up on will be full of dubious ad and click-bait content. Your browsing will be interrupted all the time as well. The thing about adware infections is that they often have intrusive data collection practices. Specifically, adware infections track users’ browsing, such as visited sites, search queries, IP addresses, etc. This information could be shared with third parties as well for advertisement purposes, without your permission. This is completely unacceptable behavior from a completely useless program that has no redeemable features. There’s no reason to tolerate this. The sooner you remove blueseek.com adware, the better. We recommend using WiperSoft anti-virus software as adware infection can be tricky to get rid of manually.

How did adware install on your device?

If you find yourself unexpectedly redirected to websites like blueseek.com, it could be due to an adware infection on your computer. However, in most cases, redirects are triggered when users visit ad-heavy websites but don’t have an adblocker installed. Many dubious websites try to expose users to as much advertisement content as possible to generate revenue. For example, sites that have adult or pirated content typically fall into this category, as clicking on anything on those sites will lead to redirects. Installing an adblocker can usually resolve this issue.

While adware being the trigger is less common, it can still happen. Adware and similar threats, like browser hijackers, are often attached to free programs via a method called software bundling. This method is controversial because it allows unwanted programs to be installed without the user’s explicit permission. Programs that use this method are usually flagged as potential threats by anti-virus programs. The way this method works is the mentioned infections are added to free programs as extra offers. Although these offers are technically optional, they need to be manually deselected if users want to stop their installations. However, this is made difficult because they are hidden in settings that users rarely check, making it hard for users to block their installations. However, if users know how to properly install free software, they can avoid these unwanted installations fairly easily.

Since these offers are optional, users can opt out of installing them. When installing free programs, you’ll have to choose either Default (Basic) or Advanced (Custom) settings. The installation window recommends Default, which hides all additional offers, allowing them to install automatically. If you choose Advanced settings, all the offers will be made visible, giving you the option to deselect them. It’s advisable to deselect everything, as these offers are usually junk and can be challenging to remove once installed. It’s much simpler to opt out of them during the installation process rather than try to eliminate them later.
