Dolohen.com Redirects - How to remove

Dolohen.com is an example of a spam site that redirects you from various online streaming sites to open new browser tabs with ads. Sometimes those ads are innocent, other times they lead to scams, fraud, and malware infections.

Dolohen.com is recognized as a malicious site by some antivirus programs. Some antivirus programs and other tools could block sites like this one to prevent them from loading in your browser.

The site itself doesn’t have much content and it mostly just redirects users to other sites. You can catch a glimpse of “dolohen.com” in your browser’s address bar right before some obnoxious betting site, fake subscription page, browser hijacker, or a notification spammer appears in a new browser tab.Dolohen.com can also serve as a spammer – a website that pushes its ads to appear right in your browser after it tricks people to allow notifications. This annoying and potentially dangerous because Dolohen.com spreads risky content.

Dolohen.com is similar to Install.notify-service.com, Latestsocial.net, and other malicious adware sites.

Dangers of Dolohen.com ads

It’s dangerous to have Dolohen.com show up in your browser often. This type of site doesn’t just force you to open ads that you would otherwise not click, it also redirects people to malicious content:

• Browser hijackers that Dolohen.com advertises, like CinematicFanatic and PDF Converter HD, can take over your browser’s search engine and the new tab page.
• Phishing sites, like fake login pages, fake registrations end up getting people’s online accounts hacked and hijacked, often used to spread malware to their contacts.
• Dolohen.com opens sites with get-rich-quick schemes and fraudulent investment scams, which also cost hundreds of dollars to naive users.
• Dolohen.com also redirects to various fake streaming services and betting sites that end up not only stealing your private data, but also charging your credit card increasingly high fees.
• Fake update pop-ups and fake virus alerts that actually download malware.
• Actual malware sites are opened, which might automatically infect your computer.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. For every legitimate ad that Dolohen.com displays, a dangerous one is also shown. And even those who believe that they would recognize a malicious site sometimes get distracted and miss the red flags, accidentally getting their computer infected with ransomware or another devastating virus.

How to avoid Dolohen.com ads

Dolohen.com affects users all over the world, from Indonesia to India, to the United States and Brazil. It primarily shows up in pirating sites, especially free streaming websites. These unregulated sites need a lot of money to keep up their services, and shady ad-networks are able to provide the content. However, the ads end up being extremely aggressive and impossible to ignore.

Dolohen.com’s ads are almost unavoidable – they’re triggered by just about any action on the infected site. Left-click, right-click, even clicking on space of the site that doesn’t have any ads will probably open a new browser tab Dolohen.com, which then loads some annoying website. You can close it every time, but that’s tedious and some sites take measures to hijack your browser and stop you from closing it.

Using web-protection could stop such ads. Some antivirus tools have extensive blacklists of websites that they prevent from connecting to your computer because of known problems. If you find unwanted pop-ups and redirects affecting your browser, it might be worth to invest in a competent antivirus suite.

An antivirus program could also help avoid unwanted installations of adware. Freeware sometimes comes pre-packaged with potentially unwanted programs that get installed in the background and these infections can start manipulating your browser to open new tabs regardless of what site you’re on. The adware would simply need to open a new tab every few minutes and go to Dolohen.com, which would open one of many unwanted websites.

Using an anti-malware scanner could help remove adware infections from your computer and free your browser. Programs like SpyHunter for PC or Combo Cleaner for Mac could help get rid of the infection but to avoid it in the future, it’s important to scan every downloaded installer before running it.

If your browser is hijacked to show pop-ups from Dolohen.com, check notification settings. If Dolohen.com is sending you notifications, block it from doing that:

• Chrome: type “chrome://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
• Safari: in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.
• Edge: open Settings, Advanced settings, Notifications, Manage.
• Firefox: type “about:preferences#content” in the address bar, find the Notifications section.

Check your browsers for malicious browser extensions and remove them.
