How does this website redirect me? webroot catches it, but how do you prevent it?
Page 1 / 1
I am not 100% certain I understand what you are asking. If you want to know how to unblock the page, once Webroot blocks it there should be a "Unblock Page and Continue" button on the block banner.
Is that what you meant, or are you being redirected there from some other website?

Hello cddawson,
Welcome to the Community,
Can I interject@ ? I do believe this is a hijacker redirect find-all-you-want.
ads.find-all-you-want.com is a harmful browse hijacker which can easily get installed on the Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc. ads.find-all-you-want.com comes in your system through infected attachment, file sharing, suspicious link as well as download freeware from malicious sites. Typically, ads.find-all-you-want.com change the browser setting, current Internet setting, homepage without any concern. ads.find-all-you-want.com infection sneaks into the user PC through coming in contact with the spam email attachments which contains infected and malicious links, and as result redirect to several other infectious sites.
What you are seeing and describing is what we on the Community refer to as a PUA. (Potentially Unwanted Application)These are very annoying at best in that they cause pop-us, redirect your browser home page, and other behavior that may slow down the computer and direct ads your way, but they are not actually doing anything bad like damaging files or stealing information. Often they are installed intentionally by you the user as browser add-ons for various tasks such as quick search tools.. but they also come with the result of added annoying pop-ups and ads. Other times they 'piggy back' with other software that you installed, or try to 'sneak' onto your system entirely.
WSA does detect and remove many PUA's, and more are being added, but WSA does not detect all of them. A simple browser add-on with PUA behavior that is easy to identify and easy to remove is not likely to be detected and removed by WSA. Those that are intentionally difficult to locate and remove are. Please see THIS LINK for more information regarding Webroot's stance on these annoying programs.
The best thing to do is to submit a Trouble Ticket and ask Webroot Support to take a look and remove these for you. There is NO CHARGE for this for valid WSA license holder.
Also, we have had a lot of discussion regarding these recently, and I have posted an Idea for Webroot to consider asking them to increase PUA detection. The more users that need help removing a particular PUA the more likely and faster that PUA will be added to detection.
I hope this helps!

Hi cddawson
Welcome to the Community Forums.
Even if you are seeing WSA's web filter warning you that this site is of dubious origin do not unblock and proceed as the result could well what find-all-you -want.com is known for, e.g. the originator of what we in the Community as a Potentially Unwanted Applicaiton or PUA.

In terms of ads.find-all-you-want.com this will take over most kinds of web browsers including Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Safari. You will find your browser settings are modified, and the browser default home page and the default search engine are changed to others as well. Thus it is able to track your online searches, record your online history, and collect your valuable information.
If this is where you now find yourself then the best thing to do is to Open a Support Ticket and ask Webroot Support to take a look and remove these for you. There is NO CHARGE for this for valid WSA license holder.
So the next step is really up to you in terms of where you are at; not gone past the WSA Web Filtering warning panel...then don't...move on. If you have and are finding your browser being redirected...open a support ticket to get professional help as soon as possible.
I hope this helps? Either way pleas epost back and let us know where you are at with this and if you have further questiosn or need further guidance.

Good information. I was not certain what was being asked, so the information you both presented was really helpful. Thanks!
Hi Corey
My apologies for jumping in but after researching this particular PUA I decide to chance your 'wrath'...;)...and post the information ASAP as clearly one does not want to go anywhere near that site.
Hopefully we got to mddawson in time to prevent an infection.

I issued a support ticket and didn't receive any actionable advice that I hadn't already done. Still trying to identify the culpret service.
Hi cddawson
Hope that you are well?
Are you saying that you received assistance from support that has not helped or that you have not yet received any such advice?

received assistance on things I'd already considered or done. I'm beginning to think this is a DNS hijack maybe resident in the router but still researching.
hi
-Try to restore your router to factory settings.
(On your router, you'll find a pinhole marked "Reset".
Keep pushing the hole, using a pencil, or a paperclip until all lights briefly come off and on.
Simple router disconnecting from a power source will NOT do.)
-Enter the primary DNS server specified by your ISP
-Restart computer and check for redirections.
About router security, first step of defense is strong access password.
You may need to re-check your router security settings
as described, for example here

I tried all the router and dns settings, still no solution. I'm about to reload windows if no one has any better ideas.
The best thing to do is to Open a Support Ticket, and ask Webroot Support to take a look and remove this for you. There is NO CHARGE for this if you are a WSA license holder, with a current subscription.
