What is best-girls-ever[.]com?
There are many rogue websites similar to best-girls-ever[.]com on the internet. Other examples include hellopushworld[.]com, ultimate-captcha[.]com and pushbesttools[.]com. Most of these sites redirect visitors to other untrustworthy, potentially malicious sites or load dubious content.
People do not generally open web pages such as best-girls-ever[.]com intentionally - they are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that are installed on browsers and/or operating systems. Furthermore, few people download or install PUAs intentionally. When installed, however, PUAs can display various ads and gather information relating to users' browsing habits.
When a browser opens best-girls-ever[.]com, the site loads deceptive, untrustworthy content or leads visitors to other (about 2-3) dubious web pages. Typically, pages opened through sites such as best-girls-ever[.]com are used to advertise unwanted software, contain dubious ads, and so on.
Additionally, best-girls-ever[.]com asks permission to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique. It states that a video can be watched, but only by clicking the "Allow" button. If clicked, this allows best-girls-ever[.]com to show notifications. Typically, these web pages display notifications that contain untrustworthy ads, links to rogue web pages, and so on.
Furthermore, installed PUAs feed users with ads such as coupons, banners, pop-ups, surveys, etc. If clicked, these can redirect people to potentially malicious websites or execute scripts that download or install unwanted software. Furthermore, many PUAs operate as information tracking tools.
They collect details about users/systems such as IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites and other details. PUAs sometimes record sensitive information as well. In any case, people behind them sell the data to other parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue.
In summary, PUAs can be the reason for problems relating to privacy, browsing safety, and so on. They might be used to steal users' identities. You are advised to uninstall all PUAs immediately.

These apps are advertised as legitimate, useful, and so on, however, developers attempt to trick people into downloading and installing them. Once installed, PUAs force users to visit dubious web pages, feed them with ads and collect various user-system information. They deliver no useful features or any other value. Typically, when installed, they simply cause problems.
How did adware install on my computer?
People often download and/or install unwanted apps inadvertently. I.e., when they click advertisements that download and/or install PUAs by running certain scripts, or improperly downloading and/or installing software. In most cases, PUAs are downloaded and/or installed through the set-ups of other (usually free) software.
This happens when PUAs are included into the set-ups as additional offers, which can be found in set-up options such as "Custom", "Advanced", etc. Many people fail to check these settings and go on to download/install programs without changing them. This allows PUAs to be downloaded and/or installed with regular software.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
Software should be downloaded from official websites only. Other sources (or tools) such as third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule, etc.), unofficial websites, and so on, are often used to distribute unwanted software.
When downloading and installing, check all settings such as "Custom" or "Advanced" - dismiss offers to download or install potentially unwanted software. Do not click intrusive ads, especially if they ads are shown on dubious web pages. Typically, these redirect people to untrustworthy, potentially malicious websites or cause unwanted downloads/installations.
In most cases, browsers can be prevented from displaying ads and/or opening dubious web pages by uninstalling any unwanted extensions, add-ons and plug-ins. Also remove programs of this type from 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.
