How to remove software causing redirects to omingple.top

What is omingple[.]top?

omingple[.]top is a rogue website. When accessed, it presents visitors with dubious material and/or redirects them to other untrusted and possibly malicious sites. The The internet is full of these bogus web pages - lcutterlyba.top, greemed.top, and blackfr1dayz.com are just some examples.

These rogue web pages are rarely opened intentionally - most users are redirected to them by intrusive ads or by Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) that have already infiltrated the system. These apps have dangerous functionality, including causing redirects, delivering intrusive ad campaigns, and collecting browsing-related information.

Rogue website behavior depends on visitors' geolocations - omingple[.]top learns this data by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. I.e., whether visitors are redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with dubious content depends on their geolocations.

Additionally, most web pages of this kind use deceptive tactics (e.g., 'clickbait', fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick users into enabling their browser notifications. This is the case with omingple[.]top as well. If the notifications are enabled, the website is allowed to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered ads are more than just a nuisance, they also pose a threat to device/user safety. When clicked, intrusive ads redirect to various dangerous sites and some can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs).

Potentially unwanted applications have different dangerous capabilities, and the functionality can be in varied combinations. For example, these apps can force-open untrusted/malicious sites and run intrusive ad campaigns.

Furthermore, most PUAs can track data. They monitor browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collect sensitive information extracted from it (IP addresses, geolocations, and other details). The gathered data is likely to contain personally identifiable information. PUA developers monetize this data by sharing it with and/or selling to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

To summarize, unwanted software can lead to system infections, serious privacy issues, financial loss, and even identity theft.

Therefore, you are strongly advised to remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

PUAs may seem legitimate and harmless, and entice users into download/installation or purchase with offers of various "useful" features. The promised functionality can range from malware removal to ease of access for specific online content. Regardless of how good the features may sound, they are rarely operational.

The only purpose of this unwanted software is to generate revenue for the developers. PUAs cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect vulnerable data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are distributed via download/installation set-ups of other products. This deceptive marketing tactic of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling".

Rushing download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and settings, etc.) increases the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the system.

Some PUAs have "official" download sites. Intrusive advertisements proliferate these applications as well. Once clicked, they can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' consent.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are advised to research all software before download/installation. Use only official and verified download channels. Unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule), and other third party downloaders commonly offer harmful and bundled content, and are therefore untrusted and should be avoided.

When downloading/installing, read the terms, study all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of additional apps, tools, features, and so on.

Intrusive advertisements typically seem legitimate, however, they can redirect to dubious and malicious sites (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and many others). If you encounter ads or redirects of this kind, inspect the system and remove all dubious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately.

Installed programs must be activated and updated with tools or implemented functions that are provided by the official developers. No other third party, unofficial tools should be used.

Note that it is illegal to activate licensed software with ‘cracking’ tools. Files and programs should be downloaded from official websites and via direct download links. Avoid third party installers and the tools/sources mentioned above.

Do not open website links or files in irrelevant emails that are received from unknown, suspicious addresses. These bogus emails are often disguised as official and important. Regularly, scan your computer with reputable, up-to-date antivirus or anti-spyware software.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
