Uninstall applications that open web pages such as pushcleansystem.com
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is pushcleansystem[.]com?
pushcleansystem[.]com is a rogue website that promotes (and opens) other bogus websites, or displays dubious content. Some examples of other web pages similar to pushcleansystem[.]com include checkvd[.]com, enerativearea[.]pro and oawhaursaith[.]com.
Most users do not visit these web pages intentionally - they are usually opened through other dubious pages, deceptive ads, or potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on the system. They are classified as PUAs, since people do not often download and install them intentionally. Note that PUAs also gather data and serve ads.
When visited, pushcleansystem[.]com opens other untrusted pages or displays dubious content. This depends on visitors' geolocations. In any case, neither pushcleansystem[.]com nor pages that it opens can be trusted.
Like most websites of this type, pushcleansystem[.]com attempts to deceive visitors into allowing it to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique - it suggests that visitors can prove that they are not robots and continue browsing by clicking the "Allow" button.
In fact, this will allow pushcleansystem[.]com to show notifications, which could contain deceptive ads, links to dubious websites, etc. As mentioned, pages such as pushcleansystem[.]com are often opened by browsers that have PUAs installed. This is not the only problem with apps of this type.
They often collect browsing data. For example, IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites and other browsing data. In some cases, PUAs collect personal, sensitive details. The data might be sold to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or misused to generate revenue in other ways.
This can cause problems relating to online privacy, browsing safety or even identity theft. PUAs often serve ads (coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, and other advertisements). When clicked, these ads open various untrusted web pages and, in some cases, run scripts to infiltrate unwanted, potentially malicious software.

In summary, browsers commonly open untrusted pages due to PUAs that are installed on them. These apps are advertised as useful and legitimate, and yet most are useless and can cause serious problems. Therefore, remove all PUAs from the browser and computer immediately.
How did adware install on my computer?
Commonly, developers include adware and PUAs into the download/installation set-ups of other software as 'additional offers'. These offers are generally listed in "Advanced", "Custom" and other similar settings. Many users fail to check and change these settings, thereby allowing PUAs to be downloaded/installed together with the required software. This PUA distribution method is known as "bundling". In some cases PUAs, infiltrate through deceptive ads that run certain scripts (but only if people click the ads).
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
You are advised to download all files and software from official, trustworthy websites and via direct links. Tools, channels such as third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule), unofficial websites, and so on, should be avoided - they are used to distribute PUAs.
Check all "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings and decline offers to download or install unwanted apps before finishing the process. Do not click intrusive ads that are displayed on dubious web pages, since these can open untrusted websites and can cause unwanted downloads and installations.
Remove any unwanted, suspicious extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins installed on the browser, and programs of this kind installed on the operating system 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.

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.
