Google Chrome - Redirect Blocked - Am I infected with adware or worse?

Since Google Chrome version 65, Google has introduced a redirect blocker in Google Chrome. The Redirect Blocker must prevent users from being redirected to possible malicious web pages with the intention to infect the web browser with adware and web pages full of advertisements.

When Google Chrome blocks a redirect in the web browser there are many purposes why Google Chrome is doing so. In the first place, your PC might be infected with an adware application. Adware opens the Chrome web browser and redirects a new window through several redirects before landing on a landing page. However, Chrome might also be redirected by compromised web pages or intrusive advertising networks. We have seen these intrusive redirects in many recent examples. In August 2018 there was a massive WordPress malvertising campaign redirecting the user's to "show notification" scam pages. This led to many compromised web pages, for example; unverf.com, tuniaf.com that redirected the web browser's through many malicious - compromised domains. Only with the intention to scam users into allowing notifications in their web browser. The malicious domains were abused to show advertisements through Chrome. In Google Chrome version 68, the Chromium team had chosen to add an info-bar when the user is unintentionally redirected to a web page. All redirects originating from third-party iframes will show an info bar instead, useless the user had some interaction with the web page. This indicates Google is getting much better in detecting redirects and protecting the Chrome web browser from unintentional redirects. Do you still notice unwanted redirects in the Chrome or another web browser, the PC is most likely infected with an ad-supported software application e.g. adware. The difference with an unwanted redirect caused by a compromised web page and Adware is the number of redirects in your web browser. When the PC is infected with Adware the web browser is redirected at least every 10 minutes to many different web pages, you might experience additional problems such as a slow browser, failed network error in Chrome, underlined in-text ads with "ads by" and search queries redirected through a search engine you did not intentionally visit. When you were redirected by a compromised or malvertising web page you are only redirected once and the web browser is not opened automatically on your PC. Most likely you were visiting a web page and the redirect occurred. Some web pages that are compromised are redirecting users to malicious javascript code to exploit the web browser, exploit kits such as Neutrino, RIG, Sundown, Angler, and Nuclear are known to infect user with so-called "drive by downloads". Make sure your PC is not infected with adware, or worse! Perform a Google Chrome virus scan or remove the pop-up redirect from Google Chrome. Read the full article

There is a big difference between ads displayed on the website to cover the cost of the website and ads generated by adware. The ads that are displayed by adware are often ads that focus on a casino, browser updates, scams, and NSFW (not safe for work) ads.

How to remove adware from Firefox?

Browser extension The first step to remove adware from Firefox is to identify the browser extension (add-on) that is installed by adware. Browser extensions are usually developed to enhance the web browser experience, however, suspicious advertising services also use extensions to display ads and change content on the web page the user is visiting, for example, inject ads into the content. Open Firefox, click the menu button in the top right corner. Select add-ons from the menu and Extensions from the menu on the left.

Now verify the add-ons installed in Firefox. If you didn't install add-on at all remove all add-ons, by default Firefox has no add-ons installed.

Click the Remove button to remove the add-on installed in Firefox.

Change homepage and search engine in Firefox

Adware is a collective name for software that makes changes to the web browser. Adware also includes so-called browser hijackers. Browser hijackers are aimed at replacing your homepage and search engine with another often malicious search engine. Browser hijackers intend to redirect the Firefox web browser to a homepage of their choice. To remove browser hijackers, you need to change the start page and search engine, follow these instructions. Change homepage in Firefox Open the Firefox menu in the top right corner, from the menu open Options.

In the Options menu, click on the Home tab in the left menu, to reset the homepage click on Restore Defaults. If you would like to open a custom web page, select Custom URLs from the Homepage and new windows option and enter the web page you would like to open each time Firefox is started. Change the new tab from the New tabs menu and set to Default "Firefox Home (Default)" or select Blank page.

Change search engine in Firefox Once again open the Firefox menu, and go to the Search tab in the left menu.

In the Default Search engine menu, select the search engine you would like to use, e.g. Google (as in this example). However, when a browser hijacker has changed the search engine the search engine might be changed to an unknown search engine. In order to remove the browser hijacker, select the search engine from the list and change it to another legitimate search engine such as Google. To make things much easier click the Restore Default Search Engines button.

Reset Firefox

Pretty much any adware for Firefox makes changes to the web browser and sometimes these changes are not easy to get rid of. In order to easily get rid of any adware that had to make any changes to Firefox, you can reset Firefox to default settings. Firefox reset will reset the homepage, add-ons, and search provider. Open the Firefox menu, and from the menu click on Help.

In the Help menu, select Troubleshooting information from the menu.

Click the Refresh Firefox button, and confirm the firefox reset once again in the dialog. The refresh Firefox button will remove add-ons and customizations, and restore your homepage.

How to Fix the "Failed - Network Error" in Google Chrome

Google might have difficulties when downloading files from the internet. In some cases, the Failed - Network Error might show up and the download is stopped and cannot be resumed. There are a few options to consider to resolve and fix the Failed - Network error in Google Chrome.

Fix the Failed - Network error Google Chrome

Check your PC for malware The failed network error on Chrome could be a sign the PC is infected with malware. Malware is known to block connections, or redirect connections through a malicious proxy server. When a connection is tunneled through a malicious proxy server the malware is able to monitor and control the internet traffic, for instance, inject advertisements or block downloads causing the Failed network error. We have seen this is in severe adware, GeoSmartDNS, Proxygate, and VidSquare. Adware or could be the cause of the Failed network error on Chrome. The first step I recommend is using the Google Chrome perform a "Harmful software" virus detection tool. Google Chrome has a useful feature to automatically detect and remove harmful applications from your web browser and PC. The Chrome Harmful software detection and removal tool are not as comprehensive as for instance, Malwarebytes. Make sure you are not infected with malware and run a Malwarebytes adware detection and removal scan, it is free.   Remove browser extension Browser extensions for Google Chrome are designed and created to add new features, themes or new functionality to Google Chrome. However, most of them need an internet connection to communicate with some server. On slower internet connections, the browser extension might disrupt normal internet-traffic and cause the Failed network error within Chrome. I advise checking the installed browser extensions and disable them one by one to see if the problem is resolved. Once you found a browser extension that is the cause of the network error in Chrome, remove the extension. Learn more about how to remove a browser extension in Chrome. Try another web browser Another option to find out if Google Chrome is the main cause of the Failed network error is to try another web browser. If you were downloading a file or visiting a webpage through Chrome and the failed network error occurred, try another web browser and see if you are able to download or visit that specific webpage with the new web browser. Try using Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge these web browsers are already installed on the most recent Windows operating systems. However, it might be best to choose a not so common web browser, we've made a list of 6 alternative web browsers to Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge. The point is to identify if the failed network error only happens in Chrome or also in another web browser. If the failed network error or some other network connection error occurs in other web browsers too, the problem is most likely in Windows, your internet connection or router. Repair Failed Network Error Chrome - advanced connection error A connection error is not always caused by a web browser. The Chrome web browser might not be able to connect to the internet or show the Failed - Network error, however, the underlying problem is a network adapter setting or a firewall problem in Windows. In order to solve these problems all at once, there is a tool NetAdapter Repair all in One that does this for you. If you use this tool wisely as I am going to show you there should be no problems. The NetAdapter Repair all in One tool is very powerful and it is possible to corrupt internet-connection or network settings with this tool. Therefore I recommend to make create a Windows restore point, so you can revert back to the point in time restore if anything goes wrong.  

Open the NetAdapter Repair all in One tool as Administrator. Right-Click the executable and select Run as Administrator from the list confirm with yes. Click the large button in the left upper corner that says Advanced Repair. The Advanced Repair tool will repair the Winsock TCP/IP settings in Windows. Clear all Proxy/VPN Settings and tries to repair the Windows Firewall. If this was working before it stays as is, the NetAdapter Repair all in One tool performs actions recommended by Microsoft to resolve problems with internet or network connections. Restart your PC and verify if the internet connection and failed network error are resolved. Reset Google Chrome settings If the problem Failed Network error only occurs in Google Chrome, some settings might get corrupted. This could be due to malware, a browser extension or an external software application. The first approach before you reinstall Google Chrome is to reset Google Chrome to default. Restoring Google Chrome to default will not affect your bookmarks, saved passwords and browser history. Learn how to Reset Chrome to default settings. Check for Chrome updates verify if there any updates available for Google Chrome, updates resolve problems and the latest version of Chrome might solve the network failed error for you. Learn how to update Google Chrome. Reinstall Google Chrome The last possibility you should attempt is to reinstall Google Chrome. It is obvious that if the Failed Network - error is only happening in Chrome the fastest approach to resolve the network error is to reinstall Chrome. Uninstall Google Chrome first and download the newest version from the official webpage. Read the full article

How to change Google Chrome browser language? Mac and Windows

Did you know you could easily change the language in Google Chrome without a reinstall? There are two language configurations in Google Chrome, the first configuration is the language you would want web pages to recognize when you visit their web page, and the second is the user-interface language of Google Chrome. In the first language setting, the language recognition by web pages is used to detect the Accept-Language header sent by the Chrome web browser. If the web browser sends an HTTP request to a web server to fetch a web page, the browser sends an HTTP-request in return to the web server. The HTTP-request the web browser sends in return includes a language preference setting, the Accept-Language header. This Accept-Language header tells the web server which language is the Chrome web browser's preferred language to display the web page in. The second language configuration in Google Chrome is the preferred language graphical user interface. It is possible to display Google Chrome in your preferred language and view web pages in another language, let's find out how to configure this in Google Chrome.

Change Google Chrome language preference

Open the Google Chrome browser if you didn't already. Click the Chrome menu button in the top right corner and select Settings from the drop-down list.

In the Chrome language preferences, you see the installed languages and the language Chrome is currently displayed in. If you would like to add a language to Google Chrome, click the Add languages button.

Search for the language you would like to add to Google Chrome. In this example, I used the Spanish language. Click the Add button to add the language you would like to add to Chrome.

Click the three dots icon, right next to the language you just added to Chrome. Now, when you want to change the language a web server detects when you visit a web page, you click the Move to the top button. What this does is it tells the web server your preferred language is Spanish (in this example) and when available will redirect the web browser to the Spanish version of the web page. Google Chrome, however, is still displayed in English (United States). If you want to change the display language of Chrome, read on. It's easy!

In the same menu, check the Display Google Chrome in this language.

Relaunch Google Chrome for the changes to take effect.

Google Chrome is now shown in the display language you prefer. It's that easy, no need to reinstall Google Chrome in another language, you can just change the display settings from the Chrome web browser itself. It is also possible to add another profile, person to Chrome and change the language for the new profile.
