How to remove applications causing redirects to kpoila.com website?

What is kpoila[.]com?

Sharing many common traits with topgirlsdating.com, wsoyourwi.fun, ourbestnews.com, and countless of others, kpoila[.]com is a rogue website. It operates by delivering dubious content and/or redirecting visitors to untrustworthy/malicious sites. Users rarely access such webpages unintentionally.

Most get redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or installed PUAs. These apps do not require express permission to infiltrate systems. PUAs are designed to cause redirects, deliver intrusive advert campaigns, and collect browsing-related information.

Once accessed, the first thing kpoila[.]com does is check visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses in order to learn their geolocations. This data is crucial to determining the site's further course of action.

Therefore, whether visitors get redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with questionable material - depends on their geolocations. Additionally, websites like kpoila[.]com use deceptive tactics (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick users into allowing their browser notifications.

The webpage in question implies that to watch the video presented in it, the notifications must be enabled - "Press 'Allow' to watch the video". Should the browser notifications be allowed, kpoila[.]com will begin running intrusive advert campaigns.

The delivered ads are more than just a minor annoyance, they are also considered to be dangerous. Upon being clicked, intrusive adverts redirect to various unreliable/malicious sites, and some can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs).

Unwanted applications can have different heinous functionalities, and these functions can be in varied combinations. For example, PUAs can force-open websites and/or run intrusive advertisement campaigns. Furthermore, these apps typically have data tracking abilities.

They record browsing activity (visited URLs, viewed pages, searched queries, etc.) and gather vulnerable data extracted from it (IP addresses, geolocations, and personally identifiable information).

This sensitive data is then monetized by being shared with and/or sold to third-parties, likewise intent on misusing it for profit. To summarize, the presence of unwanted software on devices - can lead to system infections, financial losses, severe privacy issues, and even identity theft.

Therefore, it is strongly advised to eliminate all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

PUAs usually appear legitimate and harmless. Users are lured into download/installation with offers of "handy" functionalities. However, the features seldom work as advertised, and in most cases - they do not work at all. The sole aim of unwanted apps is to generate revenue for the developers.

Therefore, instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed alongside other programs. "Bundling" is the name of this false marketing technique - pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions.

Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, skipped steps, used "Easy/Express" settings, etc.) increase the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the system. Intrusive adverts are also used to spread PUAs.

Once clicked on, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without user consent. Some PUAs have "official" promotional/download webpages as well.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advised to research software prior to download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, all downloads must be performed from official and verified sources.

Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, P2P sharing networks (Torrent clients, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), and other third-party downloaders - often offer deceptive and/or bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, explore possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from supplementary apps, tools, features, and other additions. It is just as important to exercise caution when browsing.

Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate and harmless; however, they redirect to unreliable and dubious sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and so on).

In case of encounters with ads and/or redirects of this kind, the system must be inspected and all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - removed from it without delay.

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