How to uninstall apps force-opening the eouldeco.online website
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is the eouldeco[.]online site?
Sharing similarities with mekiroki.com, sakh.site, mobilemediahits.com, cfplay.online, and countless others, eouldeco[.]online is a rogue website. It operates by delivering dubious content and redirecting visitors to other untrusted/malicious sites.
Users seldom enter these web pages intentionally - most are redirected to them by intrusive ads or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already infiltrated into their devices. These apps do not require explicit permission to be installed onto systems, and thus users may be unaware of their presence. PUAs can have dangerous functionality, including causing redirects, running intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collecting browsing-related information.
Whether visitors are redirected elsewhere or are presented with dubious material depends on their geolocations. The eouldeco[.]online site learns this information by checking visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses.
Additionally, most rogue pages use deceptive tactics (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick users into allowing their browser notifications. This applies to eouldeco[.]online as well - it implies that, to continue (i.e., access the web page), notifications must be enabled. Should the browser notifications be allowed, eouldeco[.]online starts running intrusive advertisement campaigns.
The delivered ads pose a threat to device/user safety and significantly diminish the browsing experience. Intrusive ads promote sale-based, untrusted, deceptive/scam, compromised, and malicious websites. Furthermore, they can be triggered (when clicked) to execute scripts designed to stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs).
Potentially unwanted applications have different harmful functionality, and these functions can be in various combinations. For example, these apps can force-open dangerous sites and run intrusive ad campaigns. Furthermore, most PUAs have data tracking capabilities. They can monitor browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collect sensitive information extracted from it (IP addresses, geolocations, and personally identifiable details). PUA developers monetize the gathered data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).
To summarize, the presence of unwanted software on devices can result in system infections, financial loss, serious privacy issues, and even identity theft. Therefore, you are strongly advised to remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs typically seem legitimate and harmless, and offer a broad range of functionality. Regardless of how "useful" the advertised features may sound, they are usually nonoperational. The sole purpose of this unwanted software is to generate profit at users' expense. Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect vulnerable and private information.
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 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.
