How to remove unwanted apps promoting promosrewards.club and similar sites

What is promosrewards[.]club?

promosrewards[.]club is the address of an untrusted web page, which is designed to open other pages of this kind or load dubious content. There are many websites similar to promosrewards[.]club on the internet - some examples are 7mono[.]biz, hopsigna[.]com and message-inbox[.]icu.

Typically, users do not open these sites intentionally - they are opened through deceptive ads, other dubious pages, or installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

Typically, PUAs open promosrewards[.]club and similar sites in new browser windows or tabs. When visited, they load dubious content or open about two or three other untrusted sites. This depends on the visitor's geolocation. Like most pages of this type, promosrewards[.]club often tricks visitors into allowing it to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique.

It suggests that visitors must prove that they are not robots by clicking the "Allow" button. Typically, pages such as promosrewards[.]club show notifications that contain links to dubious websites, deceptive ads, etc. Therefore, you are strongly advised not to allow this or other similar sites to show any notifications.

Furthermore, PUAs can serve intrusive ads (coupons, banners, surveys, etc.). Commonly, ads displayed by these apps open untrusted websites, and some execute scripts designed to cause download/installation of unwanted applications. PUAs also gather various data.

For example, IP addresses, addresses of visited websites, entered search queries, geolocations and other browsing data. PUAs are also capable of accessing personal, sensitive data. Furthermore, developers misuse the information to generate revenue by selling it to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or in other ways.

Therefore, users may experience problems relating to online privacy, browsing safety or even become victims of identity theft.

In summary, most PUAs do not include any features or improve the browsing experience. They are designed only to generate revenue for the developers by promoting various websites, serving advertisements and gathering certain information. Therefore, software of this type should never be downloaded or installed.

How did adware install on my computer?

Developers often include PUAs into the download and installation set-ups of other programs. In most cases, offers to download or install PUAs can be found in "Advanced", "Custom" and other similar settings, however, many users fail to check these when they download and install their programs. I.e., they leave them unchanged, thereby allowing PUAs to infiltrate.

This software distribution method is called "bundling". Additionally, PUAs are often installed through deceptive ads that run certain scripts when clicked.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Do not download files or programs through unofficial pages, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule, third party downloaders or other similar sources, tools. Third party installers should also be avoided. The safest options are to use official websites and direct download links.

Check all "Custom" and "Advanced" settings and decline offers to download or install additionally-included software. Do not click ads displayed on dubious pages relating to gambling, adult dating, pornography, or other similar sites, since they can ads open untrusted websites and, in some cases, cause unwanted downloads and installations. 

Remove any unwanted, suspicious apps (extensions, plug-ins and add-ons) installed on the browser, and programs 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.
