Omumultation.club POP-UP Redirect
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is omumultation.club?
omumultation.club is categorized as a rogue website. Once visited, it redirects visitors to other dubious sites or displays dubious content. There are many similar websites including shaimsaijels.com, mobnootiffy.com, and pecul1ar.com - these are just some examples.
People usually end up visiting omumultation.club due to potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on their systems. I.e., few people visit this website intentionally. Furthermore, these apps are installed inadvertently without users' knowledge. Note that omumultation.club gathers various data and delivers intrusive ads.
Once installed, PUAs regularly open omumultation.club in a new browser window or tab. As mentioned, when opened, this website causes redirects (about 2-3) to other untrustworthy sites or displays dubious content. Its behaviour depends on the location of the visitor. There is a possibility that some of these other websites might contain malicious content.
Thus, redirects to these websites puts users at risk of computer infections. Another issue is intrusive advertisements: PUAs feed users with coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, and other ads that can be annoying and distracting. They are displayed using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site.
Therefore, they conceal underlying content of any visited website. In addition, when clicked, they can open dubious websites that might be malicious. In some cases, ads of this type execute scripts that download and install even more unwanted apps.
Furthermore, PUAs usually collect browsing-related and other data such as IP addresses, URLs of visited websites, search queries, geo-locations, and so on. Additionally, they might collect personal details. Developers share collected data with third parties (potentially cyber criminals) who use it to generate revenue.
To avoid problems with online privacy, browsing safety, and becoming a victim of identity theft, we recommend that you uninstall all unwanted apps from your browser and computer immediately.

PUAs are often presented as legitimate and useful, however, developers promote them in this way to trick people into installing and using them. In fact, most of these apps are not useful at all. They cause unwanted redirects, feed users with ads, and collect user-system information.
How did adware install on my computer?
Some potentially unwanted apps are promoted using websites from which they can be downloaded, however, in most cases, they are installed unintentionally, due to the lack of knowledge and careless behaviour of many users. Software developers often promote PUAs using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" and the intrusive advertisements.
They use the "bundling" method to trick people into installing potentially unwanted programs together with their chosen software.
Developers hide "bundled" apps in "Custom", "Advanced" and other sections or settings of the download/installation processes (set-ups), however, unwanted installations usually occur when people leave all available settings unchanged or simply rush the download or installation procedures without studying them.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
To avoid PUAs, download software using official websites (or other trustworthy sources) and avoid using third party downloaders/installers, tools such as Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule, and so on), unofficial/untrustworthy websites, and other similar channels.
Install software carefully, check settings and options, and deselect offers to install unwanted apps. Avoid clicking intrusive ads, especially if they are displayed on untrustworthy/unofficial websites. When clicked, some ads force people to visit various untrustworthy websites such as gambling, pornography, adult dating, and so on.
If unwanted redirects (or ads that cause them) occur often, it is possible that unwanted apps are installed on your browser or computer/operating system. Check the list of installed add-ons, extensions, and plug-ins (depending on the browser) and remove all unknown or suspicious apps.
Also check programs installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
