How to remove unwanted apps that open kersatur.online and similar web pages

What is kersatur[.]online?

Users do not often visit pages such as kersatur[.]online intentionally - they are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that are installed on browsers and/or operating systems, via dubious ads or various other bogus web pages. There are many websites similar to kersatur[.]online on the web. Some examples are enhesita[.]online, npolicito[.]online and roboverify[.]xyz.

Typically, when a page such as kersatur[.]online is visited, it opens 2-3 other bogus sites or displays dubious content. What happens next depends on visitors' geolocations.

Note that these websites often attempt to trick visitors into allowing them to show notifications by using 'clickbait' techniques. In this case, it states that the page can be loaded by clicking the "Allow" button. If clicked, this allows the page to show notifications. Note that kersatur[.]online and similar sites show notifications that contain links to other bogus websites, deceptive ads, etc.

As mentioned, These sites are promoted via PUAs. Commonly, these apps generate ads (coupons, banners, surveys, etc.) as well. If clicked, the ads can open untrusted websites and sometimes execute scripts to download and install other unwanted apps.

Furthermore, PUAs often gather IP addresses, addresses of visited websites, entered search queries, geolocations, and even private, sensitive data. This information is monetized by selling it to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or in other ways. This can lead to problems relating to online privacy and browsing safety, and other issues.

Browsers open pages such as kersatur[.]online (or other bogus sites) because of PUAs installed on browsers and/or operating systems. Note that PUAs are advertised as useful, legitimate apps, however, they are redundant and users do not often download or install them 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.
