To summarize, it is not safe to visit websites like video-change[.]digital or the pages that they are designed to promote. If a browser opens questionable pages regularly, it is likely that it has some unwanted application installed on it.

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, apps of this kind can be designed not only to promote pages like video-change[.]digital, but also to display advertisements and collect various information. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to have apps of this kind installed on browsers or computers.

How did adware install on my computer?

One of the popular ways used to distribute potentially unwanted applications is by bundling them with other, mainly free programs (freeware). In such cases, PUAs can be found in downloaders and installers for those programs as additional offers.

Typically, offers to download or install bundled applications can be declined via "Advanced", "Custom" or other settings, or by unticking checkboxes. When users download and install programs without changing any of those settings, they agree to download or install PUAs too.

Another deceptive way that can be used to distribute apps of this kind is to design ads to execute certain scripts. Those advertisements cause unwanted downloads, installations when users click them.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to avoid using third-party software downloaders and installers, or to download programs (or files) via Peer-to-Peer networks, shady websites, etc. The safest way to download software is to use official and trustworthy websites and direct links.

Also, it is advisable not to finish downloads, installations without declining unwanted offers. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, bundled apps can be found in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings or alongside ticked checkboxes that certain downloaders, installers have.

Additionally, it is recommended to avoid clicking ads that appear on questionable pages. Untrustworthy ads appear on websites related to gambling, pornography, adult dating, and so on. If clicked, those ads can open other shady pages or cause unwanted downloads, installations.

All unwanted, suspicious extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons installed on a browser and programs of this kind installed on a computer should be removed/uninstalled. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
