hevethat[.]online is an untrusted website and should be avoided. There are many similar pages on the web including, for example, bemasx[.]com, mycoolnewz[.]com, and private-message[.]live.

Browsers with PUAs installed regularly open sites such as hevethat[.]online. When visited, hevethat[.]online and other similar sites load dubious content or open other websites of this kind.

Pages promoted through these sites are rarely legitimate. Usually, they open various scams (e.g., "Microsoft Security Essentials Alert", "Suspicious Movement Distinguished On You IP", download sites for various PUAs (e.g., browser hijackers, adware-type apps), and so on.

hevethat[.]online and other such pages use deception to trick users into allowing them to show their notifications. More precisely, these pages use 'clickbait' techniques to trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" button. Hevethat[.]online makes it appear as if the page cannot be loaded unless visitors agree to receive notifications.

Generally, notifications from pages such as hevethat[.]online contain deceptive advertisements, links to potentially malicious websites, etc. Therefore, hevethat[.]online and other dubious website should never receive permission to show notifications.

Additionally, PUAs can be designed to gather browsing-related details. For example, addresses of visited pages, entered search queries, geolocations, Internet Protocol addresses. In some cases, they can access sensitive information. Collected details could be misused for marketing purposes, sold to third parties (potentially cyber criminals) or monetized in other ways.

Victims with PUAs installed on computers might become victims of identity theft, encounter problems with browsing safety, online privacy, and other issues.

To summarize, pages such as hevethat[.]online are promoted through PUAs, applications designed to gather various data and generate unwanted advertisements. PUAs do not improve the web browsing experience or include any useful features. Generally, the main purpose of these apps is to generate revenue for the developers.

Users who have apps of this type installed on their browsers or computers should remove them immediately.

How did adware install on my computer?

Browser hijackers, adware-type apps, and other types of PUAs are commonly distributed by integrating them into the download and/or installation set-ups of other programs, so that a proportion of users inadvertently download and install them together with their chosen software. This distribution method is known as "bundling".

Offers to download and install additionally-included apps usually appear in "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings of the set-ups (where they can usually be declined). Many users fail to check and change these settings, thereby granting permission for PUAs to be downloaded and installed by default.

In addition, unwanted downloads and installations are sometimes caused by clicking deceptive advertisements capable of executing certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Download software and files from official websites and via direct links. It is not safe to use torrent clients, eMule (or other Peer-to-Peer networks), third party downloaders, unofficial websites or other sources of this kind.

Avoid third party installers. Check "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings, and decline offers to download or install unwanted software. Do not click ads that are displayed on dubious websites, since they can open other untrusted websites or even cause unwanted downloads and installations.

Remove any unwanted, suspicious applications (extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins) that are installed on the browser. The same should be applied to programs of this kind that are installed on the operating system.

Regularly scan your computer with reputable antivirus or anti-spyware software and keep this software up to date.

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