How to remove apps promoting luckypushwinner.com and similar sites

What is luckypushwinner[.]com?

luckypushwinner[.]com is one of many rogue websites designed to promote other such sites or load dubious content (tiktok-fun[.]com, allfreshposts[.]com and hipermovies[.]icu are other examples of similar rogue sites). Generally, users do not visit these web pages intentionally - they are opened by installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

These web pages are also promoted through deceptive advertisements and other untrusted sites.

When visited, luckypushwinner[.]com opens about 2-3 other untrusted websites or loads dubious content - this depends on the geolocation of the visitor. Neither luckypushwinner[.]com nor the web pages it promotes are trustworthy. In most cases, websites such as luckypushwinner[.]com deceive visitors into allowing them to show notifications by using 'clickbait' techniques.

This particular web page suggests that, to continue loading it, visitors must click the "Allow" button. If allowed, these web pages start to display notifications containing deceptive advertisements, links to other dubious websites, etc. As mentioned, browsers often open addresses such as luckypushwinner[.]com when PUAs are installed.

PUAs serve advertisements and collect various user-system information. In most cases, they serve pop-ups, coupons, banners, surveys, etc. These ads promote dubious websites or execute scripts that can cause download/installation of unwanted apps.

PUAs can also collect details such as IP addresses, geolocations, URLs of visited websites, entered search queries and other browsing data. Some are capable of accessing sensitive, personal data as well. The data could be sold to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or misused to generate revenue in other ways.

If PUAs are installed on the browser and/or computer, remove them immediately. These apps cause problems relating to browsing safety and privacy, and lead to unwanted downloads/installations and even identity theft.

PUAs are often advertised as supposedly improving the browsing experience, including features, providing quick access to various websites, etc. In fact, most are designed only to help the developers to generate revenue - they are useless to regular users.

In most cases, users download and install PUAs inadvertently and, therefore, they are classified as potentially unwanted applications.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most users download and install unwanted applications when they are included into the download or installation set-ups of other programs. Typically, offers to download and install additionally-included apps are mentioned in "Advanced", "Custom", "Manual" or other settings.

Many users fail to check and change these settings, thereby allowing PUAs to infiltrate. This deceptive PUA distribution method is called "bundling". Unwanted downloads and installations can also be caused by clicking deceptive advertisements that execute certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are advised to check all "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual" and other similar settings and decline offers to download or install unwanted software. Download and install software only from official websites and through direct links.

Other sources and tools such as untrusted, unofficial websites, torrent clients, eMule (or other Peer-to-Peer networks), third party downloaders, installers, etc., can be used to distribute unwanted, malicious applications. Do not click ads that appear on dubious, unofficial pages.

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