What is dollarsurvey365[.]online?

Quite often, web pages like dollarsurvey365[.]online are promoted through potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that most users download and install on browsers, computers unintentionally. In other words, users do not visit such websites intentionally. There are many other pages like dollarsurvey365[.]online, for example, rdsb21[.]club, bengekoo[.]com, and spleasedon[.]fun. It is noteworthy that PUAs can be designed to serve advertisements, gather browsing-related and other data.

Usually, pages like dollarsurvey365[.]online are designed to check visitor's IP addresses (geolocation) and then load their content (at the time of the research dollarsurvey365[.]online displayed a fake survey) or open a couple of (about two, three) other questionable websites. It is important to mention that pages like dollarsurvey365[.]online tend to be used to promote download pages for potentially unwanted applications (e.g., browser hijackers, adware), shady websites used to extract personal information (e.g., "UPS Rewards Scam", "Chance To Win The Brand New Playstation 5"), and a variety of other untrustworthy sites. Another important detail about dollarsurvey365[.]online (and other pages like dollarsurvey365[.]online) is that they ask for permission to show notifications. Most of these pages use some clickbait technique to trick users into allowing them to display notifications (e.g., they display a fake CAPTCHA asking visitors to prove that they are not robots by clicking the "Allow" button). In one way or another, notifications from websites like dollarsurvey365[.]online contain links to untrustworthy pages (promote shady websites), dubious advertisements, etc. Therefore, pages like dollarsurvey365[.]online, or any other untrustworthy sites should never be allowed to show notifications.

As mentioned in the introduction, potentially unwanted applications can be designed to gather browsing-related and other data. It is common that PUAs target details like Internet Protocol addresses, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites, geolocations, etc. Apps of this kind can be designed to collect sensitive information (e.g., credit card details, passwords). Also, PUAs can be monetized by designing them to serve advertisements (e.g., pop-up ads, coupons, banners, surveys). It is noteworthy that ads displayed by PUAs often are used to promote shady websites. Sometimes they can download or even install unwanted software. Therefore, ads generated by PUAs should not be trusted (clicked).

Therefore, their users could become victims of identity theft, encounter issues with online privacy, browsing safety, or other problems.

How did adware install on my computer?

In most cases, users unknowingly download and install potentially unwanted applications when these apps are distributed through downloaders, installers for other programs - when apps of this kind are bundled with other programs. Users agree to download, install PUAs together with other programs when they finish their downloads, installations without changing "Advanced", "Custom", "Manual", or other settings, or unticking certain checkboxes. It is common that downloaders, installers that have these settings are bundled with PUAs, and their settings, options can be used to decline unwanted offers. Also, potentially unwanted apps can be distributed through deceptive advertisements. There are advertisements on the Internet that, if clicked, run scripts designed to download (or even install) unwanted apps.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to trust applications that are available for download on untrustworthy websites, torrent clients, eMule, and other Peer-to-Peer networks, third-party downloaders, etc., or use third-party installers. Files and programs should be downloaded from official pages and using direct links. Downloads, installations should not be finished without declining unwanted offers. Usually, it can be done using "Advanced", "Custom", "Manual", or other settings, or by unticking checkboxes that downloaders, installers bundled with PUAs have. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid clicking on ads that appear on shady websites. It is very common that those ads promote untrustworthy websites. In some cases, they are designed to download and install unwanted software. Unwanted, unknown, suspicious plug-ins, add-ons, or extensions installed on a browser and programs of this kind installed on the operating system should be removed. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
