How to stop browsers from opening allow2continue.com

What is allow2continue[.]com?

allow2continue[.]com is one of many rogue websites that are usually opened via other untrusted pages, deceptive ads or potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that are installed on browsers and/or operating systems. When opened, sites such as allow2continue[.]com redirect visitors to a number of other dubious pages or load unwanted content.

Note that usinesmycete[.]info, younwild[.]com and pushbestdevice[.]com are examples of other pages that operate in a similar way to allow2continue[.]com. Unfortunately, there are many other websites of this type. PUAs usually gather information and display intrusive advertisements.

Installed PUAs regularly open rogue websites such as allow2continue[.]com in new windows or tabs. When opened, they load dubious content or redirect visitors to about two or three other untrusted web pages. These actions depend on visitors' geolocations.

Like many other websites of this type, allow2continue[.]com tricks visitors into allowing it to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique. It states that visitors should be able to continue browsing by clicking the "Allow" button, however, if clicked, this allows allow2continue[.]com to show notifications.

Typically, when a website of this type is allowed to show notifications, if starts to display unwanted notifications that contain deceptive ads, links to untrusted pages, and so on. Furthermore, most PUAs collect details such as IP addresses, entered search queries, geolocations, addresses of visited websites, and other browsing-related data.

Some of these apps also record personal, sensitive details. The developers sell the data to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. These actions can cause problems relating to online privacy, browsing safety, and other issues.

The collected data might be misused to steal users' identities. Additionally, PUAs often display ads in the form of coupons, pop-ups, surveys, banners and so on.

The ads conceal underlying content of visited websites and also lead people who click them to various untrusted pages, or they execute scripts that download or install unwanted software. Therefore, remove all PUAs from the browser and operating system immediately.

PUAs are advertised as offering useful features, however, they display ads, cause unwanted redirects and collect data. They do not operate as promoted. Therefore, never trust PUAs - having them installed on your system can lead to a number of serious problems.

How did adware install on my computer?

In some cases, PUAs can be downloaded from their download websites, however, people often download and install them inadvertently when they are distributed using the "bundling" method, or when people click deceptive ads. Developers include PUAs into the download/installation set-ups and hide related information in "Custom", "Advanced" and other options.

People who download or install various programs (especially free software) without checking and changing the settings often inadvertently allow PUAs to be downloaded and installed. Ads can also cause these unwanted downloads and installations when they execute certain scripts (note that the ads cannot run these scripts without first being clicked).

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Check "Custom, "Advanced" and other similar settings that are available in the download/installation set-ups of software. These can mention offers to download/install additional, potentially unwanted apps. Dismiss any such offers before completing the process.

It is not safe to download or install software through third party software downloaders, installers, unofficial pages, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule or other such tools. Files and programs should be downloaded only from official websites and via direct links.

Intrusive ads that are displayed on dubious pages (e.g., on pages relating to gambling, pornography, adult dating) usually redirect to untrusted websites or cause unwanted downloads/installations.

Therefore, do not click these ads. If the browser opens dubious pages, or unwanted ads appear on most/all opened pages, remove all unknown, suspicious extensions, plug-ins and add-ons from the browser, and 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.
