How to uninstall apps that open maroceffects.com and other similar addresses

What is maroceffects[.]com?

maroceffects[.]com is the address of a rogue web page which, when visited, redirects to other untrusted web pages or loads dubious content. There are many websites similar to maroceffects[.]com on the internet. Some examples are basenews7[.]com, topflownews[.]com and allow-space[.]com.

Generally, they are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on browsers and/or operating systems. I.e., people to not often visit these sites intentionally. Furthermore, PUAs can gather browsing data and display intrusive advertisements.

Installed PUAs force browsers to open addresses such as maroceffects[.]com in a new window or tab. When opened, they redirect visitors to more (about 2-3) dubious pages or load dubious content. What happens after visiting them depends on the visitor's geolocation.

Note that maroceffects[.]com attempts to deceive visitors into giving it permission to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique. I.e., maroceffects[.]com suggests by clicking the "Allow" button visitors are able to continue browsing. In fact, this simply allows it to show notifications.

The notifications displayed by these sites tend to contain deceptive ads, links to rogue web pages, and other dubious content. Furthermore, PUAs can collect data. For example, IP addresses, entered search queries, geolocations, addresses of visited websites, and other browsing-related details.

They might also record personal, sensitive data. Furthermore, the data might be sold to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue in other ways. These actions can lead to problems relating to privacy and browsing safety. It is possible that users might also become victims of identity theft.

PUAs can display ads in the form of coupons, pop-ups, surveys, banners and others. Generally, these lead to dubious, potentially malicious pages or execute scripts designed to download and install PUAs. Therefore, remove all PUAs from the operating system and browser immediately.

Most PUAs do not improve the browsing experience, deliver useful features or any other value, even if they are advertised as useful, legitimate applications. Typically, they open dubious addresses, display ads and gather information. They do not operate as advertised and simply cause problems. For these reasons, do not trust or download/install any PUA.

How did adware install on my computer?

In many cases, people are tricked into download/installation of PUAs when developers distribute them using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". I.e., when they include the apps into the download or installation set-ups of other (usually free) programs.

Information about these additionally-included apps (offers to download and install them) can usually be found in "Advanced", "Custom", and other similar settings of the set-ups.

Many users fail to check and change these settings, inadvertently allowing included PUAs to infiltrate. Unwanted downloads and installations also occur when people click deceptive ads that are capable of executing certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are advised to download software only from official pages and through direct links. Tools and channels such as third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule), and unofficial pages should be avoided. These channels are often monetized by promoting unwanted, malicious programs.

Check "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings of the download/installation setup. Decline offers to download or install unwanted apps before completing the process. Do not click intrusive ads that appear on untrusted websites. These can open other sites of this kind or cause unwanted downloads and installations.

Remove unwanted, suspicious extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

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.
