How to remove apps that open pushbestdevice.com

What is pushbestdevice[.]com?

Websites like pushbestdevice[.]com are designed to load dubious content or redirect visitors to other untrustworthy web pages. For example, balanceforsun[.]com, sawhitpew[.]site and wbamedia[.]net are examples of other sites that operate in a similar way to pushbestdevice[.]com.

In most cases, they are opened by browsers that have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on them. Therefore, people usually do not visit them intentionally. PUAs open untrusted sites, gather browsing data and serve intrusive advertisements.

Installed PUAs open websites such as pushbestdevice[.]com in new browser windows or tabs. When visited, they open about two or three other rogue websites or load dubious content. These actions depend on the visitor's geolocation. Neither pushbestdevice[.]com nor pages that are opened through it can be trusted.

Furthermore, pushbestdevice[.]com asks visitors to prove that they are not robots by clicking the "Allow" button. This is just one of many 'clickbait' techniques that websites such as pushbestdevice[.]com use to trick people into allowing display of notifications.

If allowed, they start to display notifications that contain deceptive ads, links to untrusted websites, and so on. Furthermore, most PUAs collect browsing-related information (users' IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, addresses of visited pages, etc.), however, installed PUAs might also gather sensitive, personal details.

In any case, the people behind apps of this type sell the data to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. PUAs can also feed users with intrusive advertisements in the form of pop-ups, coupons, banners, surveys, and so on.

People who click these ads are usually redirected to various dubious pages. In some cases, the ads execute scripts that cause download/installation of PUAs or even malicious programs.

Installed PUA can cause problems relating to browsing safety/privacy, and it is possible that some users might become victims of identity theft. Therefore, remove all PUAs from the browser and/or operating system immediately.

PUAs are often advertised as legitimate, useful applications that supposedly deliver various features, however, few operate as advertised. Generally, they are designed only to help the developers to generate revenue, and they simply cause problems.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most people download and install PUAs unintentionally when they click deceptive ads or download/install regular software. Unwanted downloads/installations through other programs can happen when developers include PUAs into the software set-ups. This distribution method is known as "bundling".

Typically, information about additionally-included apps is hidden in options such as "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar sections.

People who leave these settings unchanged when they download and/or install software can inadvertently give PUAs permission to be downloaded and/or installed. Deceptive ads also cause unwanted downloads and installations when they run certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Do not click intrusive ads, especially when they are displayed on dubious websites (e.g., pages relating to gambling, adult dating, pornography, and so on). Files and programs should be downloaded only from official websites. It is not safe to use third party downloaders, Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule), unofficial pages or other similar channels.

Third party installers should be avoided. Do not to finish downloads/installations without first checking "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings.

Dismiss any offers to download or install additional, unwanted software. Ensure that there are no unwanted, suspicious extensions, plug-ins or add-ons installed on the browser, or programs of this kind installed on the operating system (they should be uninstalled immediately).

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

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.
