Stop browsers from causing redirects to farcaleniom.com

What is farcaleniom[.]com?

farcaleniom[.]com is designed to redirect visitors to various other rogue sites or present them with dubious content. It functions like many other similar websites including, for example, hernclinicsfun[.]info, eadingenered[.]pro, and actraffic[.]info.

Typically, people do not visit these sites intentionally - browsers open them automatically, often when a potentially unwanted application (PUA) is installed on the browser. In most cases, PUAs open untrustworthy websites, display ads, and collect data. They are classified as PUAs, since most people download and/or install them unintentionally.

When visited, farcaleniom[.]com opens a number (2-3) of untrustworthy websites that might be used to trick people into downloading and installing unwanted or even malicious software. Rather than causing redirects, however, farcaleniom[.]com might display dubious content. Its actions depend on the visitor's location.

Furthermore, this web page asks permission to show notifications using a 'clickbait technique' - it encourages users to press the "Allow" button designed to download a file. If clicked, this button simply allows farcaleniom[.]com to display various notifications that contain ads and other unwanted content.

Furthermore, apps that force browsers to open websites such as farcaleniom[.]com often record various details such as IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites, etc. PUAs can also collect sensitive, personal information.

People behind these apps (the developers) share the information with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. PUAs often serve deceptive, intrusive ads. If clicked, these redirect people to untrustworthy websites or download/install unwanted apps.

Examples of ads displayed by PUAs include banners, coupons, surveys, pop-up ads, and so on. To avoid problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, or even identity theft, we recommend that you uninstall all PUAs immediately.

Potentially unwanted applications can lead to unwanted downloads and installations, problems with privacy, browsing safety, or even identity theft.

In most cases, they deliver no real value and are designed only to generate revenue for the developers who advertise them as legitimate and useful to trick people into downloading and/or installing them. Most PUAs are downloaded and/or installed inadvertently.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most people download and install apps of this type inadvertently through deceptive ads or the set-ups of (mostly free) software. If clicked, some deceptive ads execute scripts that cause download or installation of an unwanted application.

Despite this, people generally download and install PUAs through the download or installation set-ups of other software - when they are included in those set-ups as additional offers. The offers can usually be found in options such as "Custom", "Advanced", and so on.

Many people leave these settings unchanged, thus granting PUAs permission to be downloaded and/or installed with regular software that people with to download/install. This deceptive distribution method of potentially unwanted software is known as "bundling".

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

It is not safe to download or install software from unofficial websites, through third party downloaders or installers, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule, or other similar channels. The safest way is to use official websites and direct download links.

Furthermore, download/installation set-ups often include settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", etc. Do not leave these unchecked. Dismiss any offers to download or install unwanted software. If clicked, many deceptive ads open untrustworthy sites or cause unwanted downloads/installations.

Typically, they are displayed on dubious websites such as, for example, those relating to adult dating, pornography, gambling, and so on. Do not click these ads. Check for any unwanted extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins installed on the browser and remove/uninstall them immediately.

The same should be applied to software of this kind 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
