Uninstall apps that open seamletneds.club and similar sites

What is seamletneds[.]club?
seamletneds[.]club operates in a similar manner to sabs-news[.]info, pushcleansystem[.]com, checkvd[.]com, and many other websites - it redirects visitors to various other untrusted web pages or displays dubious content.
Generally, users do not visit these sites intentionally - seamletneds[.]club and other sites are opened via deceptive advertisements, other dubious websites, or by installed potentially unwanted applications (PUA). These rogue apps often force users to visit dubious web pages. They also gather information and serve advertisements.
Browsers with the aforementioned PUAs installed open rogue web pages such as seamletneds[.]club in new windows or tabs. When visited, these sites load dubious content or open about two or three other web pages of this kind. Furthermore, websites such as seamletneds[.]club often trick visitors into allowing them to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique.
This particular site asks visitors to prove that they are not robots by clicking the "Allow" button, however, this simply allows seamletneds[.]club to display notifications, which could contain deceptive advertisements and links to untrusted web pages and other dubious content.
Furthermore, PUAs often feed users with coupons, surveys, banners, pop-ups and other types of ads. When clicked, these can open untrusted web pages, and sometimes they can even cause unwanted downloads and installations by executing certain scripts. PUAs also track information.
They usually target browsing data such as IP addresses, geolocations, addresses of visited pages, entered search queries, and other browsing-related details, however, some PUAs are capable of recording sensitive, confidential details as well. The data could be sold to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or misused to generate revenue in other ways.
Therefore, PUAs can be the reason behind problems relating to privacy, browsing safety, and even identity theft. If an app of this type is installed on the browser and/or computer, remove it immediately.

Commonly, PUAs are advertised as legitimate, useful applications that supposedly include various features, improve the browsing experience, etc. In fact, most are designed only to generate revenue for developers by collecting data, promoting dubious websites and/or serving ads. Note that people commonly download and install these apps inadvertently.
How did adware install on my computer?
People sometimes download and install PUAs by clicking deceptive ads that run certain scripts. In most cases, however, PUAs infiltrate when they are distributed by including them into the set-ups of other programs as 'additional offers'. This distribution method is called "bundling".
Typically, offers to download or install PUAs are mentioned in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings. Many users fail to check and change these settings when they download and install their programs. Leaving the default settings unchanged, allows PUAs to be downloaded and installed together with their required software.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
You are advised to download software and files only from official, trustworthy websites and via direct links. Channels, tools such as third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule), unofficial websites, and so on, should not be used, since they are often monetized by distributing potentially unwanted, malicious apps.
Check all "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings of the download/installation setup and decline offers to download or install unwanted apps. Do not click intrusive ads that appear on dubious web pages, since they can open other untrusted sites or even cause unwanted downloads and installations.
Remove any unwanted, suspicious extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins installed on the browser, and software of this kind 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.

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.
