How do chissk.icu redirections occur?

Chissk.icu redirections in Mozilla Firefox happen because of unwanted add-ons enabled in this particular browser. Of course, you might not remember installing this add-on directly. The problem is that the suggestion to do that could be produced by a sudden pop-up window. This might have taken place because your system is now infected by adware or another kind of PUP (potentially unwanted program). When adware is integrated into a browser it starts acting in a very unusual way, thus permanent pop-ups and subsequent redirections are quite obvious in this case.

How to prevent unauthorized adware installation?

The adware today is interconnected with many installers of free applications. Many of us like to install programs that are totally free. The problem is that the installers of some cost-free utilities are integrated with many additional third-party programs. This method to promote unwanted applications through freeware installers is often referred to as “bundling“. The installer may hide important information about additional software that may be suggested for the default installation. To reveal all such important details it is important to switch to the “Advanced” or “Custom” installation option. This way users may read the information about such a third-party application and thus uncheck the boxes that are responsible for the drive-by installation of such unwanted utilities.

It is always a good idea to carefully read the EULAs (End User License Agreements) related to free programs you intend to install. Doing so will help you to avoid unwanted consequences related to the intrusion of unwanted software. Finally, we recommend you to be more careful when choosing the sites from which you download free apps. Use only trusted resources online and take time to investigate more whether the site is really reputable.
