Linkangood.com redirect: what it is and how to stop it
Linkangood.com is a web address that security software has blocked as a Trojan site, and it has been in our reports since January 2020. The address installs nothing, but if it keeps opening by itself the cause is an ad, a hacked site or adware on your device, and the steps below find it.
Facts checked October 6, 2026. Removal steps tested on Windows 11 (26H2) and checked against Microsoft's and the browser makers' current documentation.

Facts checked on 6 October 2026 against our own attempt to open the address (desktop Chromium from Lithuania, one attempt, plus command-line requests), a DNS lookup, the RDAP record for linkangood.com and our January 2020 report with its two pictures. The address did not deliver a page, so what it leads to today is not established. The DNS steps were not tested on an infected machine.
What Linkangood.com is and what it does to your browser
Linkangood.com is a web address, not a program on your computer. Security software that blocks it labels it a Trojan site, and our first report, from 2020, describes a blank page and redirects. Nothing is installed just by the address being opened.
- 1
Something opens the address
A link, an ad, a page you were already on or a program on your device makes the browser ask for
linkangood.com. In our January 2020 picture the browser process named in the alert waschrome.exe, but the old report says other browsers are affected as well. - 2
The page shows nothing, or a waiting screen
In 2020 the address showed a blank page in one picture and a grey page with a loading animation and the words "will only take a moment. Please wait" in another. The page itself may show nothing and still hand you on, or load other things, when you click or keep browsing.
- 3
Your security software steps in
The alert in our picture reads "Website blocked due to Trojan" and names the domain, an address and the browser file. That is the security product blocking a connection to the address, which is not the same as finding a Trojan on your computer.
- Address
linkangood.com, a domain that serves no readable page to our test browser (see our test below)- Domain registered
- 27 July 2026 (RDAP record read on 6 October 2026, registrar GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com), expiring 27 July 2027; the record was last changed on 28 July 2026. Our 2020 report shows the name was in use then, so this is not the first time it has been registered; the public record we read does not show the earlier owner or dates
- Where it points now
- A DNS lookup on 6 October 2026 gave the address 103.119.0.11 and the name servers
a.share-dns.comandb.share-dns.net. The address in the 2020 alert was 64.58.121.60, so it has moved - What security software says
- A "Website blocked due to Trojan" alert in our 2020 picture; the product is not named in the picture
- Who owns it
- Not established from the public record, so we name no owner, advertiser or traffic seller
The old report put the address in the family of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) and called it a redirect virus that pushes other threats. We could not confirm that wording: what we can show is an address that gets blocked, that showed no readable page in 2020, and that does not deliver a page to our test browser now. Whether adware on a computer is what keeps opening it is the question the sections below help you answer.
Is Linkangood.com dangerous?
Our test on 6 October 2026
We tried to open https://linkangood.com/ in a clean desktop Chromium browser from Lithuania, with no referrer, and also asked for the address with plain command-line requests. The address did not deliver a page, so this test shows less than usual, and a quiet or failed test never clears an address.
linkangood.com · desktop Chromium · Lithuania (EU) · 6 October 2026
- Did the page openNo. The browser stopped with the error
ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR. A command-line request to the secure address got an empty reply from the server, and a plainhttp://request got status 444 with an empty body from an nginx server, a code nginx uses to close a connection without answering. The server still set a session cookie on that plain request. - Why we got nothingWe do not know. The server may be down, or it may refuse a test client like ours by country, browser or the lack of a referrer. A server that answers some visitors and not others is also what a redirector that picks its visitors looks like, but we have no evidence of that either way.
- Redirect to another domainNone seen, because no page was delivered. That does not mean it does not redirect: the 2020 report said it does.
- Notification requestCould not be tested. If you ever allowed notifications from this address, they would keep arriving from its push service until you remove the site in your browser's notification settings.
- Pop-ups and new tabsNone opened and no other host was contacted in the one attempt.
- Not testedOther countries, phones, a visit that arrives from an ad or another page, a second visit, a click, or an ordinary home connection. Our test also stops short of whether the address ever answered on a different day.
No page to judge We could not see what the address does today, and we do not know when it stopped answering. That is not a clean result: the 2020 report and the security alert both pointed to redirects, the domain was registered again in July 2026, and an address that sends different visitors to different pages looks the same as a dead one from where we tested. If it is opening on your computer, treat the cause as unknown and check your device.
What we know about the address, in order
17 January 2020
Our first report: a blank page and a Trojan alert
We published a report on Linkangood.com after readers met a security alert for it. The picture at the top of this page shows a Chrome window on
linkangood.com, marked "Not Secure", with a white page, and over it a green alert saying "Website blocked due to Trojan" with the domainlinkangood.com, the address 64.58.121.60, the type "Outbound" and the fileC:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe. The alert also has Manage Exclusions and Close buttons. The product's name is not shown.January 2020
A waiting screen
The next picture shows the same address in a browser marked "Not Secure" with a grey page, a loading animation and the words "will only take a moment. Please wait..." (the first words are hidden behind the stock photo of a woman shrugging that the picture was built around). A waiting screen like this is what a redirector shows while it decides where to send you, which is our reading and not something we confirmed.
Linkangood.com in 2020: a waiting screen with a loading animation. The woman is a stock photo and not part of the page. 9 August 2021
The old report was last updated
The 2020 report was edited for the last time on this date and then stayed as it was for five years.
27 July 2026
The domain is registered again
The RDAP record gives this date as the registration, with GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com as registrar. As the name was in use in 2020, an earlier registration must have lapsed or moved.
28 July 2026
The registration record changes
The RDAP record was last changed the day after registration. Nothing in the record says what changed or who controls the name.
6 October 2026
Our new check: no page
The address did not deliver a page to our browser or to command-line requests (see the test above).
What it means when you see Linkangood.com
The address itself does not need your permission to be opened by a page, so seeing it once is not proof of anything on your device. How often, and on which sites, is what shows the cause.
| What happened | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| You typed it or followed a link that named it | You asked for the address. Nothing on your device is wrong, but the address is one security software blocks. | Close the tab and do not click Allow, Download or Install on anything that opens. |
| It appeared once after you clicked an ad, a banner or a button | The ad was routed through this address, or was a page that sends visitors on through it. Normal for ad chains, and you were sent somewhere you did not choose. | Close the tab. Do not sign up, pay or install anything. |
| It opens by itself, again and again, on many sites, with pop-ups, banners and ads that appear out of nowhere | Something on your device is opening pages for you: an extension, a program or a changed setting. This is the usual picture of an adware infection, and the old report said such programs run on the machine itself. | Work through the steps below, starting with extensions. |
| It appears on one site only | That site, or an ad on it, is the cause, not your computer. | Leave the site. If you trust it, tell its owner. |
| Security messages say a page was blocked and you did not install anything | The software is doing its job and blocked a connection. It does not say the machine is infected. | Close the tab, then check extensions once to be sure. |
| A notification prompt, a fake virus alert or a download offer opens next | That is the destination page, not this address. | Block the prompt. If you already allowed one, remove the site in notification settings. |
What can go wrong
The old report said a redirect program does not damage the computer by running, and we agree that the address installs nothing. The risk is what you are sent to and what the program does over time: it tracks, shows ads you did not choose and opens pages that can trick you.
- High
Pages that ask you to install or pay
Redirect pages often offer players, updates, launchers and prizes. We could not see where this address leads today, so we cannot name one. Download programs only from their makers' own pages.
- Medium
Malware-laced sites
Content you meet through the redirect can come from suspicious advertisers and third-party companies that expose you to sites carrying malware. The old report said so, and the address was blocked as a Trojan site by one security product, though we could not confirm the product or its reason.
- Medium
Banners, pop-ups and redirects that keep coming
Adware can broadcast advertising on the screen aggressively, with banners, pop-up ads and in-text links that send you to other pages. When you click, more pop-ups appear, and it becomes hard to reach what you came for.
- Medium
Tracking of what you do online
Ad-supported content can follow your time online and your browsing habits. The old report said this is how such programs earn: details about the most viewed and searched items are gathered for later advertising, and ads based on your habits and preferences then appear. The longer an unwanted program stays, the more it collects.
- Low
A slower browser
The old report said speed and performance suffer significantly. Our test could not measure this. Extra ad scripts can slow page loading, but how much depends on the program.
What adware behind such redirects can collect
- IP address
- Websites visited
- Search queries
- Items you view most
- Links and ads clicked
- Time spent online
- Browser and device details
- Tracking cookies
The old report said such programs collect data on time online and browsing habits. We have not seen this address collect anything, because our test got no page. Cookies and search queries can contain private details and can be sold on, so clean up if the redirects return.
How Linkangood.com got into your browser
Hardly anyone looks for a redirect address. It follows an action, often one you did not notice. The old report described it as arriving silently, so that you may never know where the first redirect came from, especially when you did not install the program yourself.
| Route | How it happens | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Software bundling | Free programs can carry extra applications in their installer. If you click through the Recommended or Quick setup, everything included is added, and the old report said this is the way potentially unwanted programs usually arrive. We have no figure for how often. | Was a free program, converter or download helper installed shortly before it started? |
| Misleading pages | Clickbait pages trick people into installing unwanted applications or allowing extra content. One click on a page or pop-up can start an installation without any sign. They often fill the screen with pop-ups so that clicking is hard to avoid. | Did it begin after you visited a download, streaming or prize page? |
| Downloads started by a click | The old report also said a deceptive page can trigger an automatic download of a program with a single click on its banner or button. | Look in your Downloads folder and the list of installed programs for anything you did not pick. |
| Other apps installed without a word | Potentially unwanted programs can install other apps without asking or giving any notice, so more than one program may be involved. | Check the whole list of installed programs, not just the one you suspect. |
| Changed settings | A program or extension can change browser settings, notification permissions or, with some adware, the DNS servers of the connection. | See the DNS and notification checks in the steps below. |
Check your browser and PC
The alert is about the address, not about your files. Reading it correctly stops you panicking and stops you doing the wrong thing, such as clicking Manage Exclusions.
| What you see | What it tells you | What it does not tell you |
|---|---|---|
| "Website blocked due to Trojan" | Your security software stopped a connection to linkangood.com and put the address on its blocklist as dangerous. | That a Trojan is on your computer. The old report called this a detection of a potentially unwanted program, and we could not confirm which kind of threat the product means. |
chrome.exe named as the file | The connection was made by the browser, so the request came from a page, an ad or an extension in that browser. | That Chrome itself is damaged. Other browsers can be affected too: the old report said the program that causes it controls the traffic from the device and does not live in one browser. |
| A blank page behind the alert | The page showed nothing, which fits an address that only forwards. | That nothing happens. The old report said the page may show nothing but start other things when you click or keep browsing. |
| The alert comes again and again | Something keeps asking for the address, so something on your device or on the pages you visit is doing it. | What that something is. Look at your extensions and installed programs (steps below). |
| A scan finds nothing called Linkangood | The address is not a file, so no scan lists it by name. A clean scan does not make the alert wrong. | That the cause is gone. The scan only covers files and programs; a browser setting or an ad may still open the address. |
Some people read the alert as proof that their computer is infected and panic. It is not that, and it is not a reason to ignore it either. The blocked address is sending you somewhere you did not choose, so find out what opens it as soon as you can. Leave the Manage Exclusions button alone: an exclusion would let the address through again.

In Safari > Settings > Extensions, select anything you did not install yourself and click Uninstall.
Clear the site data
In Safari > Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data, remove the site's data, or use History > Clear History > all history. To empty the cache as well, turn on Show features for web developers in Settings > Advanced and choose Develop > Empty Caches.
Check the Mac for apps from the ads
Ads also target Mac users with fake players and "cleaners". In Finder > Applications, move anything unknown to the Bin. In System Settings > General > Login Items & Extensions, remove unknown items. Then use Go > Go to Folder to check
/Library/LaunchAgents,~/Library/LaunchAgents,/Library/LaunchDaemonsand/Library/Application Supportfor folders and files with the same unknown names, and empty the Bin.
Then, whichever browser you use
Step 1: Scan the PC if you downloaded anything from the ads
Most people who only saw the notifications can skip this step. If a notification or the page it opened made you download or run a file, delete the file and run a full scan, then a Microsoft Defender Offline scan.
In Windows 11 and Windows 10 open Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options, select Microsoft Defender Antivirus (offline scan) and click Scan now. The PC restarts and the scan takes about 15 minutes, so save your work first.
Windows 11: Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options. Full procedure with screenshots: Run a Microsoft Defender Offline scan
After removal: keep the ads from coming back
If the redirects keep coming back
If you only landed on the address once and closed the tab, there is nothing to remove. If it keeps returning, there is no program called Linkangood.com in your list of installed programs: remove what opens it. React as soon as the pop-ups or the first redirect appear, and do not wait.
- 1
Close the page
Exit the browser window that carries the redirect and everything related to it. If a page will not let you leave and keeps opening new windows, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, select the browser in Task Manager and click End task. When it opens again, do not restore the old tabs.
- 2
Look at your browser extensions first
Open the extension manager of each browser you use and look for anything you do not recognise, above all anything added recently. Remove what you do not know, then see whether the redirects stop. Adware often arrives as an extension and never shows in the programs list.
- 3
Uninstall suspicious programs
Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps in Windows 11 (Apps & features in Windows 10, or Programs and Features in the Control Panel), sort by install date and uninstall what you do not recognise or what appeared on the day the redirects began (Uninstall a program or app in Windows On uGetFix). Programs can install other programs without a notice, so go through the whole list. On a Mac, move unknown apps from Finder > Applications to the Bin.
- 4
Check the notification permissions
The old report said notification settings can be altered when you click a pop-up or a redirect. Open your browser's notification settings and block or remove any site you do not know in the list of sites allowed to show notifications. In Chrome that is Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Notifications.
- 5
Check the DNS servers of your connection
Some adware changes the DNS servers so that addresses are looked up on the attacker's side. In Windows 11 open Settings > Network & internet > your connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) > Hardware properties and read DNS server assignment. If it is set to Manual with addresses you did not enter, switch it to Automatic (DHCP). We did not test this on a hijacked machine.
- 6
Scan, then scan offline
Run a Microsoft Defender Full scan, then the Microsoft Defender Antivirus (offline scan), which finds threats that hide while Windows runs. A scan covers files and programs and may well find several you had no idea about, but it does not promise to remove everything, and it will not list the address itself. Restart the computer when the tool asks, then check whether the pop-ups and redirects still appear. If your own efforts fail, a full scan with a reputable security product is the next step, and its report tells you what it removed. You do not have to buy anything first.
- 7
Clean the browser
Reset each browser you use to its defaults to remove extensions and restore the home page and search engine. Do this after the programs are gone, and also in the browsers you rarely open, so nothing opens the address again. The tabs above give the steps for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
- 8
Look at what starts with Windows
If a symptom stays after all this, open Task Manager > Startup apps and disable entries you do not recognise. The old report said symptoms can remain until startup or registry settings are changed. We do not suggest editing the registry by hand, and we did not verify which keys this address uses.
If you typed a password or a card number on a page an ad opened, change the password now, change it on any other account where you used the same one, and call your bank.
How to keep it from happening again
Installing software carelessly is the most common start, so the habits that help most are the ones you use when you set up new programs. Treat anything that comes from random sources, such as a redirect, as suspicious, and most of all ads built from your habits and preferences.
Do
- Choose Advanced or Custom setup when the installer offers it: it lists the optional programs and you can untick anything that raises a question. Recommended and Quick setups add everything included automatically.
- Slow down when you install new software and decline every extra offer.
- Close the tab at once if you land on Linkangood.com or a similar address, and do not interact with the page.
- Download programs from their makers' sites or the Microsoft Store.
- Keep Microsoft Defender on, with Potentially unwanted app blocking switched on: Windows Security > App & browser control > Reputation-based protection.
- Keep a current backup of your files (File History or OneDrive), so an infection or a failed disk does not cost you your documents.
- On public networks, a VPN hides your IP address from the sites and ad networks you visit; it does not block ads or malware.
Don't
- Click an ad or banner out of curiosity, above all one that shows what you recently searched for.
- Click Download, Allow or Install on a page you were sent to.
- Type a password or card number on a page an ad opened.
- Hurry through an installer because a timer or a pop-up tells you to.
Questions about Linkangood.com
What is Linkangood.com?
Linkangood.com is a web address that security software has blocked as a Trojan site; it is not a program on your computer. Our first report, in January 2020, showed a blank page behind a "Website blocked due to Trojan" alert.
The domain was registered on 27 July 2026 according to its RDAP record, which means the name was re-registered after its 2020 use, and it did not deliver a page to our test browser on 6 October 2026.
We could not establish who owns it, what it leads to now or whether it sends visitors on to other sites, so we name no owner and make no claim about its present behaviour.
Is Linkangood.com a virus?
No, the address is not a virus: it is a website address, and opening it installs nothing by itself. The phrase Linkangood virus comes from a security alert that calls the blocked connection a Trojan and from the old report, which called it a redirect virus and a potentially unwanted program.
Adware that keeps sending the browser to the address is the thing to look for, and it is not counted as a critical threat, but the pages at the end of a redirect can lead to bogus downloads. Our test got no page, so we cannot say what it does today.
What does "Website blocked due to Trojan" mean for linkangood.com?
It means your security software stopped a connection to linkangood.com and treats the address as dangerous. The alert in our 2020 picture lists the domain, an address, the type Outbound and the browser file chrome.exe. It does not mean a Trojan is on your PC, and it does not mean Chrome is damaged.
Something, such as an ad, a page or an extension, asked the browser for the address and the product refused. Do not click Manage Exclusions, which would let the address through. Then look at your extensions and installed programs to find what is making the request.
Why do I keep getting Linkangood.com redirects and pop-ups?
Something keeps sending your browser to the address. After one click on an ad that is ordinary ad routing, but if it happens again and again, on many sites, with pop-ups, banners and ads that appear out of nowhere, a browser extension, a program or an altered setting is likely opening pages for you.
The old report said such a program runs on the machine itself and controls the online traffic, so it can affect browsers other than Chrome. Check the extensions of every browser, then the list of installed apps sorted by date.
How do I remove Linkangood.com redirects?
There is nothing called Linkangood.com to uninstall, so you remove whatever opens it. Close the browser first, then remove extensions you do not recognise and uninstall programs that appeared on the day it began (Settings > Apps > Installed apps on Windows 11).
Check notification permissions and your connection's DNS servers, then run a Microsoft Defender Full scan and the offline scan, and restart when asked. Reset the browser last: in Chrome, Settings > Reset settings > Restore settings to their original defaults. The tabs above give the steps for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
Why does my antivirus find nothing when Linkangood.com is blocked?
Because the address is not a file. A scan lists files and programs, and the blocked address is a place your browser tried to reach, so no scan will show a detection called Linkangood.
The old report said the same: you may not consider it a virus because the scan using the tool that raised the alert does not show it. A clean scan does not make the alert wrong.
It only says no known malicious file was found. If the alerts keep coming, the cause can be an extension or a setting, so check them as described above.
Is it safe to open Linkangood.com?
It is not worth the risk. On 6 October 2026 the address did not deliver a page to our browser, so we have nothing to say about what is on it now, and an address that is blocked as a Trojan site and does not answer a test client is no place to visit out of curiosity.
Redirect addresses can show different pages by country, device or referrer, and a quiet visit proves nothing about what others see. If you want to know whether it is blocked for you, leave it to your security software.
Can Linkangood.com send notifications?
We could not check. The address gave no page to our test browser, so we do not know whether it asks to show notifications. The old report said notification settings can be altered by it when you click on pop-ups or redirects, and it told readers to block any questionable site in the list of sites allowed to show notifications.
If you clicked Allow on a prompt from an address you do not recognise, open your browser's notification settings and remove it. In Chrome that is Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Notifications.
What should I do if I entered details or ran a file from a page it sent me to?
Change the password at once, and call your bank if you typed a card number. Pages reached through ad redirects ask for usernames, passwords, card details and phone numbers, which can be used for fraud or identity theft.
Change it on any other account where you used the same password, and check your statements for payments you do not recognise. If you ran a downloaded file, uninstall it from Installed apps and run the Microsoft Defender Full scan and the offline scan. If you gave someone remote access, disconnect the PC from the internet and have it cleaned.
Will Fortect remove Linkangood.com?
Fortect scans Windows for malware and unwanted programs and repairs the system files and settings they change, and its free scan shows what it finds on your PC before you decide anything.
For Linkangood.com, follow the plan above as well: the browser steps take back permissions and settings that no scanner treats as a threat, and uninstalling the program that brought it removes the source.
Run Microsoft Defender's full scan and, if anything was found, its offline scan as a second opinion. If the symptoms are gone after the plan and both scans are clean, there is nothing more to do.
