How to unistall applications that open nnouncils.space and similar sites
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is nnouncils[.]space?
nnouncils[.]space and similar sites are often promoted via deceptive advertisements, other untrusted websites, or potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). I.e., users do not often visit them intentionally. When accessed, however, they load dubious content or open other bogus websites.
There are many websites similar to nnouncils[.]space on the web. Some examples are robotornotcheckonline[.]icu, the-best-push-news[.]com, and alltopposts[.]com.
When websites such as nnouncils[.]space are promoted by PUAs, they are opened in a new browser window or tab. What happens next depends on the geolocations of their visitors: the pages open about two or three bogus sites or load dubious content.
Most use 'clickbait' techniques to deceive visitors into clicking the "Allow" button. If clicked, this allows visited pages to show notifications - nnouncils[.]space states that visitors must click the button if they wish to continue loading the page.
Generally, when visitors allow pages such as nnouncils[.]space to show notifications, the sites display notifications with links to other untrusted websites, deceptive ads, and so on. Examples of notifications displayed by nnouncils[.]space are provided below.
Note that PUAs can promote/open dubious pages, serve advertisements and gather data. They serve banners, pop-ups, coupons, and surveys. If clicked, these open untrusted websites. In some cases, they even cause download/installation of unwanted software by running certain scripts.
PUAs collect browsing-related information such as IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and so on. Furthermore, some PUAs are capable of accessing personal, sensitive information. Developers use the gathered data to generate revenue.
In such cases, users are exposed to risk to problems relating to online privacy and web browsing safety, or they might even become victims of identity theft.

To summarize, PUAs generate revenue for developers by promoting dubious pages, serving ads and collecting data. They are useless to regular users and can cause serious issues. Note that, in most cases, users do not download or install PUAs intentionally.
How did adware install on my computer?
PUAs are often downloaded/installed together with other products. This deceptive marketing technique of pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling".
By rushing through download/installation of software (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using "Quick/Express" settings, etc.) many users risk unintentionally allowing bundled content into their devices. Intrusive advertisements proliferate PUAs as well.
When clicked, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without users' permission. Some PUAs have "official" download web pages from which they can be downloaded.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
You are advised to download files and programs from official websites and via direct download links. Other tools and sources such as third party downloaders and installers, unofficial pages, and Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., eMule, torrent clients) should not be used to download or install software.
Check all "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings (or available checkboxes) for offers to download and/or install unwanted apps. Do not click ads on dubious websites, since they can be designed to open bogus web pages or cause unwanted downloads and installations.
Remove any unwanted, suspicious extensions, plug-ins and add-ons installed on the browser, and software of this kind 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.
