How to remove apps that open allow-space.com and similar web pages

What is allow-space[.]com?

allow-space[.]com is the address of a web page that redirects visitors to other untrusted sites or loads dubious content. This is a rogue website and should never be trusted. There are many sites similar to allow-space[.]com on the web including, for example, belazyelephant[.]com, alisalis[.]com and go9news[.]biz.

They are usually opened when people click dubious ads, visit other rogue pages, or have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on browsers or operating systems. I.e., they do not generally visit rogue pages such as allow-space[.]com intentionally.

If installed, PUAs open allow-space[.]com and other sites in new browser windows or tabs. When opened, they redirect visitors to about two or three rogue websites or load dubious content.

These actions depends on visitors' geolocations. In most cases, sites such as allow-space[.]com open web pages that contain deceptive ads and advertise/promote other PUAs or even malicious apps. Note that allow-space[.]com often deceives people into allowing it to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique.

It states that visitors must prove that they are not robots by clicking the "Allow" button, which, if clicked, gives allow-space[.]com permission to show notifications. Typically, these pages feed users with notifications containing links to untrusted, potentially malicious pages, deceptive advertisements, and other content of this kind.

Furthermore, most PUAs force users to visit rogue websites and collect information relating to browsing habits. Commonly, they gather browsing data such as IP addresses, websites of visited pages, entered search queries, geolocations, and so on. They might also be designed to collect sensitive information.

Furthermore, the developers might sell the information to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. Additionally, PUAs often feed users with coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups and other forms of advertisements. The ads can open untrusted websites or cause download/installation of unwanted apps by running certain scripts.

To summarize, users who have PUAs installed on their browsers or computers are exposed to risk of problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, and other issues. It is possible that these apps might also be used to steal users' identities.

Typically, developers advertise PUAs as useful, legitimate applications, however, they deliver no real value and are designed only to help the developers to generate revenue.

Furthermore, people who have these apps installed on their browser or computer risk becoming victims of identity theft, experiencing problems relating to online privacy, browsing safety, and so on. We strongly recommend that you uninstall all PUAs immediately.

How did adware install on my computer?

People often download and install PUAs inadvertently by clicking certain deceptive advertisements or when they are distributed using the "bundling" method. I.e., when PUAs are included as "additional offers" in various download/installation set-ups of other, mostly free, software.

Typically, offers to download and install PUAs can be found in settings such as "Custom" or "Advanced". Many users fail to check and change these settings, thereby giving PUAs permission to be downloaded and installed with the required programs. Deceptive ads can cause unwanted downloads/installations by executing certain scripts, but only when they clicked.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

We recommend that you download software from official websites and avoid using third party software downloaders/installers, tools such as Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., eMule, torrent clients), unofficial websites, and so on. Check all settings such as "Advanced" and "Custom" and change them if necessary.

Commonly, these settings mention offers to download or install unwanted software - decline thee offers. Do not click intrusive ads that are displayed on dubious web pages, since they tend to redirect people to untrusted websites or cause unwanted downloads/installations.

These ads are usually displayed on web pages relating to gambling, adult dating, pornography, and other dubious sites. Remove all unwanted, unknown extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons installed on the browser immediately. Also remove software of this kind that is 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.
