More about toapodazoay[.]com
When an unwanted app is installed on the browser, it regularly opens dubious web pages such as tyoapodazoay[.]com in new windows or tabs. Most of these websites load dubious content or redirect visitors to a number (about two or three) of other untrustworthy sites.
This depends on visitors' IP addresses and geolocations. Site such as tyoapodazoay[.]com commonly demand permission to show notifications. I.e., they use 'clickbait' techniques to trick visitors into giving them such permissions. These web pages trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" button.
If clicked, this allows them to show notifications that usually contain ads, links to untrustworthy websites, etc. Furthermore, many dubious apps serve ads that are displayed in the form of coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, and so on. These conceal underlying content of visited websites and lead people who click them to other deceptive web pages.
In some cases, they execute scripts designed to download and install unwanted software. Intrusive ads can never be trusted. Dubious apps often gather browsing data such as IP addresses, addresses of visited pages, entered search queries, geolocations, and so on.
They might also record confidential, sensitive data. Developers sell the data to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. Shady programs can thus cause problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, and some users might even become victims of identity theft.
For these reasons, do not trust apps of this kind and remove them from your browser and computer immediately.

Unwanted apps in general
Most apps of this type force users to visit rogue web pages (such as tyoapodazoay[.]com), gather user-information and display dubious ads. Typically, they deliver no useful features and simply cause problems. In most cases, people download and install rogue apps unintentionally when they are tricked.
How did adware install on my computer?
In most cases, people download and install unwanted apps by clicking deceptive advertisements or when software developers distribute them using the "bundling" method, a deceptive marketing method used to trick people into downloading and/or installing shady apps together with other software.
To achieve this, they include unwanted programs into download/installation set-ups of regular software - they hide related information in settings such as "Custom" and "Advanced". In many cases, people allow potentially unwanted apps to be downloaded and/or installed when they leave these settings unchecked and unchanged.
How to avoid installation of unwanted applications
Do not use third party software downloaders/installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule), dubious/unofficial websites, or other similar sources/channels to download or install software. Use only official, trustworthy websites and direct download links.
Check all settings available in download/installation set-ups, and decline offers to download and/or install additional, unwanted software (otherwise it will be downloaded and installed with your required software). It is not safe to click intrusive advertisements, especially if they are displayed on untrustworthy web pages.
When clicked, they redirect people to potentially malicious sites or cause unwanted downloads/installations. Remove all unwanted, unknown extensions, plug-ins and add-ons from the web browser, and apply this to programs of this kind installed on the operating system/computer.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
